David works at an RV dealership nearby and has long hours. Jonna accepts that her husband works late and says that he often comes home even later than he had planned.
Jonna has shared that this leaves her feeling rather lonely and at a loss of what to do with herself and about the situation. A feeling that many stay at home moms can relate to. Marriage isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, people don’t ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after.
In her blog, Jonna shares many thoughts on married life with David and on parenting. However, this isn't your typical mommy blog.
Jonna shares it all with hilarious self-deprecating humor and sarcasm. Her stories will have you falling off your seat. Plus, how many blog writers out there have an Amish husband? That definitely switches things up a bit.
Jonna is a housewife and a stay-at-home mom. Despite caring for their daughter and the home, she finds the time to maintain her blog and online presence.
Actually, it seems like her set-up is the perfect one for a blogger. She gets to spend time with her daughter while working.
In December 2015, she was quite transparent about her situation with her blog followers. She wrote, “I’m married to a hard-working man and I would be lying if I said that it didn’t take a toll on me. Sometimes he will come home after a long day at work and I’ll be waiting for him to walk in the door, so I can yell ‘you promised me you would be home at five!’ As if he would rather be working than spending time with me and our daughter.”
Jonna’s fairy-tale vision of what her Prince Charming would look like was quite different from her reality. Her Prince Charming had “rough, cracks hands and crows feet” and he wasn’t even 30 yet.
She added, “I’m putting him in a lose-lose situation. He literally can’t win. If he doesn’t work late, we won’t get the new furniture set that I have to have. If he does work later, he comes home to a nagging wife who is desperate for his attention.” She continued, “I am so selfish in our marriage and I know that. But, every once in a while, I’ll have my little ‘A-ha’ moment that gives me a sense of understanding.”
Jonna's blog posts are so real, so relatable. She tells it like it is and hearing that sort of honesty is very admirable.
