13 Lessons My Mother Taught Me about Womanhood

My mom died all too soon, but before she did, she passed on her wisdom of womanhood. | Belle Brita

A year ago today, my husband and I skyped with my parents, my brothers, and my sister-in-law to celebrate my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary and my mother’s 60th birthday.

Brokenness and Grief

Five months after my mom died, I still feel so much anguish. | Belle Brita

I feel broken. I don’t know how else to describe it. It’s like part of me broke the day my mom died, and I haven’t figured out how to fix it yet. I’m lost. I’m confused. I’m scared. For the last four days, I haven’t managed to wake up until 9am or later. I haven’t… [Read More]

For Love of Christmas Lights in Paris

Disneyland Paris is a sight to see during the holiday season! | Belle Brita

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved Christmas lights. When I was in elementary school, my church did a night of Christmas caroling every December. We visited all the shut-ins from our church, but one year, we also went to the most beautifully decorated house I’d ever seen. To this day, when… [Read More]

Ranking the 2016 Presidential Candidates by Sexiness

In the name of true gender equality, I treat all 2016 presidential candidates the way the media treats the women: by judging their appearance. | Belle Brita

In the name of true gender equality, I propose we judge all 2016 presidential candidates in the same way we judge all female politicians: By their appearance. I present to you the ultimate guide of 2016 presidential candidates, according to their sex appeal. Disclaimer: This is a completely subjective list, compiled mostly by me with… [Read More]

December Goals // November Recap

Every month I publicly set my goals so my blog readers can keep me accountable. How are you ending 2015? | Belle Brita

Where did November go? I feel like the time has flown by! Of course, I spent the last two weeks in Ohio, which was essentially a working vacation for me. I also spent a a few days at the beginning of the month in South Carolina. Overall, I spent more time NOT in Duluth than… [Read More]

It’s such a treat to celebrate the holidays in Ohio with my in-laws. In fact, Dan and I just returned yesterday from a wonderful Thanksgiving in Ohio with his family…. [Read More]
