Power in the Story: Elizabeth from The Uncustomary Housewife

By: Jen – The Frozen Mind Blog

This week, my Power in the Story featured blogger is someone that I just “clicked” with instantly.

The Uncustomary Housewife is a blog that features her journey with Mental Illness and her role as a housewife. She does this with a unique flair that is fun and entertaining.
