Moving Day!

I began my blogging journey a couple of years ago to improve my writing and help me be more disciplined in my craft.  But what started out a side gig to my fiction, is now coming to the forefront.  Prayerfully, at the end of this year, Musings of a Bored Housewife will publish its first [...]

Photo by Andrzej Pobiedziński from stock.xchng We were all getting ready this morning, having mapped out our plans for the day.  After a round of shopping, we were going to head to McDonald’s for lunch and utilize their play area to escape this brutal heat we’ve been enduring.While I was donning my

Monday Morning Musings with McKenzie

McKenzie stretched out on my bed this morning, and pulled up a piece of her Barbie storage container.  I quickly caught on that she was reading the Bible on her iPad.  What followed was the most curious account of the commandments…. In the name of Jesus, to the evening of London, you must obey your

$50,000 per Tweet!

Social media banned…tweets, status updates, and all blog posts are punishable up to a year in prison with a $50,000 fine.  Can you picture it?  Does it scare you, or not even phase you?  This was today’s writing prompt:  Social media is outlawed in your town.  My first thought was, how did they get

Zumba for the Imagination

  Lately, I’ve felt like my blog and my writing was getting a little blah.  I’d sit down to write and my imagination would strain to lift a basic idea off the screen.  My fingers and wrists would be sore after a 15 minute free-write session.  Hans and Franz would say my imagination was flabby [...]

Memories of Mercy

God is a god of second chances; this is something we know all too well as Christians.  Once upon a time, we were in need of a second chance.  A sinner, stained with the filth of our sin, we reached out our hands to the Savior, and He gave us grace and mercy.  But somewhere [...]

Inspiration Station

During our move my desk (among many other things) was broken.  The movers disassembled everything they could, one of those things being my desk.  It wasn’t a fancy desk, just one of those particle board DIY assembly desks that you’d find at Wal-Mart.  So you can imagine that taking it apart might no

Who is your Favorite Author?

I could answer this simple, often asked question with many amazing writers.  But my answer is God.  I’m not just talking about the Bible.  Though this book alone could be cause for God to be #1 on my top ten authors list.  The Bible is studied in many colleges as literature for a great reason.  The

Preparing for Your Spiritual Move

Yesterday, I was going through our medicine cabinet in preparation for our move.  I found five boxes of Band-Aids, including the one I had just bought because we were “out”.  I also found several bottles of calamine lotion, which I apparently bought in bulk so I would be prepared for the invasion of

Who or what inspires you?

NaNoBlogMo posed the question, “Who inspired you to write?” This struck home today, as my daughter is off getting inspired by several local writers at a Young Author’s Conference.  As she goes through a morning filled with character development, sensory words, and scene variation, I hope she falls i
