Hello!

Hello there! It's wonderful to meet you :)

Updates:

October 15 2025: Hello! After a little over a year absence after having my third baby I am back! I will resume my swap series: The Jambalaya Journal Series very soon! Excited to make a little time to do art, happy mail, and journaling again♥

☆☆ I will always do my best to send on time, and rate as soon as I receive. If there's an issue, please message me! I am happy to resend when necessary :) ☆☆

About Me

I'm a 31 year old Christian Homemaker, wife to a wonderful man, mama to three rambunctious boys all under 5 years old. ♥

I love to journal, bake bread, go on walks, sleep, create ambitiously long to-do lists, stay up far too late working on hobbies or projects, and drink lots of coffee.. I crave a slow-living type of lifestyle but my current life feels too cluttered, stressed, and full.. I'm working on simplifying my life one day at a time..

I love being a mama ♥

Books, Movies/TV

I hardly ever watch movies/tv anymore, I mostly watch YouTube and listen to my audio Bible. I'm also trying to get back into reading again, but that's been a challenge.

I enjoy a good period drama, adventure, mystery, magic, and humor.

Here are some old favorites that I've enjoyed (both books and movies, depending on title):

Anne of Green Gables original series, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Clone Wars, John Wick, all Jane Austen (My favorites are Sense & Sensibility, Emma, and Pride & Prejudice), The Prince of Egypt, Despicable Me movies, Megamind, Leap Year, Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, North and South, Jane Eyre, Persuasion (2022 film), Beautician and the Beast (1997),

Response: Thank you! Yes thankfully it was only our fences that needed rebuilt, but since we rent our landlord took care of it, and quickly too! Which was nice. Thankful that all is well again :)

Comment: It came today. You mentioned elderberry...we have elderberries here and I make elderberry syrup to use for colds and coughs for us...it works better than cough medicine!
Response: That's so cool that you grow elderberries! My cousin does that too, I think it's a wonderful alternative to medicine and has been helpful when I'm pregnant. :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Your journal was a pleasure to read. Thank you so much for inviting me in to your month! I hope your barista skills keep improving, and your health and comfort are staying level. I very much enjoyed hearing how you spent your days and would give you three stars if I could!
Response: Thank you!! :) I am slowly seeing improvement in my barista skills, but definitely still a bit slow and I need to study the drink recipes! Thank you for the well wishes, I'm so glad you enjoyed my journal! take care <3

Comment: Thanks for the lovely letter! Finding a good paper for fountain pens can be a bit of a pain - I have a Mnemosyne notebook that I love using... or should I say loved until I spilled my water bottle on it at work a couple of weeks ago! I will write back soon!
Response: You're welcome! :) That seems to be the case, I'm glad you found paper that works well for you! Aw man, maybe it will still work after it dries out.. just a little wrinkled :) I look forward to hearing back from you! take your time

From the GROUP PEN PALS WITH A HEART. Please now that you are a member of this group can you go to the group forums in our group. You will find your own personal page in the group forum and a questionnaire that you must fill out. Enjoy being part of our group and thanks for joining.

I had to check out your profile after running into you in the group forums (and because how can I resist scoping out the other journaling redheads on this site). Your profile is really stellar. I might have to mooch the write me prompts idea for mine.
Also, for how much we absolutely do not have in common we sure have a lot in common. I hope we run into each other in a swap at some point or something. (:
ciao,
Met
