http://pristinewives.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-is-what-it-means-to-be-wife.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2011. This Is What It Means To Be A Wife. While your husband is backpacking somewhere in Southern Utah and you don't know when he's coming back (maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday) and you can't call him. Suddenly your house is overrun with mice! Rodents are your biggest fear in the whole entire world! Throughout the week your fear turns into disgust which turns into anger which turns into war! You set up traps all over the house and catch a bunch of mice and poison the rest of their friends.

Pristine Wives: Right Now I'm Feeling...
http://pristinewives.blogspot.com/2011/05/right-now-im-feeling.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Right Now I'm Feeling. Tired- no, exhausted. Genuinely happy for other peoples' adventures in life. Full and content, even though I haven't eaten for a while. Warm- I think it's time to take the quilt off my bed. Excitement and hope from daydreams of possibilities. A little nervous at the thought of mothering more children than my current handful- someday. Confident in who I am. Desperately wanting to be a better version of who I am. Violated by a mouse in my house. 8221; After I ha...

Pristine Wives: I chose the right man.
http://pristinewives.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-chose-right-man.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. I chose the right man. Before I met Mr. McGary I had so many ideas about what I thought my life would be like. I thought I would travel the world, learn a language, graduate college, fully succeed. In life and then, when I was about 30 or so, I might get married. Kids? So this is the girl I was when I was 20. All I knew was that I had a sweet gig at the airport, flying for free, working with hot guys. (I'm not ashamed to say that was one of the best parts of my job! Made me feel...

http://pristinewives.blogspot.com/2011/04/making-house-home.html
Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Making a HOUSE a HOME. We recently purchased our first home. Woohoo! It's an incredible feeling to own your own home. What I LOVE best about it is that I get to make this home exactly as I want it to be. I get to decide if it's an inviting home, a simple home, a modern home, a cluttered home, a chaotic home, a happy home, or a clean home, etc. My favorite thing is that I get to determine the feeling. In this home. You know what I'm talking about. the feeling. I am foremost a DA...

Pristine Wives: 5 Years of Marriage
http://pristinewives.blogspot.com/2011/04/5-years-of-marriage.html
Thursday, April 7, 2011. 5 Years of Marriage. Chicago, 2011-John and Missy Butcher's condo). Five years ago today it was a gorgeous, sunny, warm day at Sundance Ski Resort.and it was my wedding day! It dumped snow the night before so there was a beautiful white blanket on the mountains, not a cloud in the sky and high temperatures! With the weather how it is now, I can't imagine that I would plan an outdoor wedding this early in the season. But in 2006 it worked out perfectly! What a process life is!

Pristine Wives: Simplicity in Parenting
http://pristinewives.blogspot.com/2011/10/simplicity-in-parenting.html
Wednesday, October 26, 2011. I am going to talk about a couple of parenting strategies that work for me. Because when my children are in order, I'm happier and then, of course, I'm a better wife! Plus, happy kids make my husband really happy. This does not mean my kids eat hummus and artichokes. And it does not mean that they don't ask for a Sprite every time we go to a restaurant. But these are some of the daily things I do to keep my life simple in regard to feeding my children:. This is my saying: "Yo...
