My name is Abbey, and there are a lot of unique things about me. First, I'm a right-brained learner. This basically means that I'm blessed with high imagination and cursed with anxiety. Second, I'm a Latter-Day Saint, who is amazed by the goodness of the Lord and all He does for me in my life. Third, I am an unschooler. The biggest lesson I learned from this education is to love learning and to pursue my passions. This blog is a collection of personal musings that will probably fall into one of these catogories. Thanks for visiting!

Content Guide

Note: this post is meant to be a guide to my content ratings under the "My Resources" page.  



A Word About the Media:

I am a Latter-Day Saint, so I try to keep my entertainment limited to things that are "virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy" (13th Article of Faith).  However, some of the things I read or watch do contain unsavory words or images.  I try to walk the line of avoiding inappropriate content while also appreciating and supporting the many artists out there who are trying to share their talents with the world.  Therefore, I've included a content guide with each of my media reviews so you know exactly what to expect.  At the same time, I hold a great respect for each of the artists' works here, and encourage you to enjoy their products along with me.

Content guide:


Mild language = occasional use of four-lettered swear words (i.e. d***, a**, h**).


Moderate language =  contains heavy swear words, but are rarely used (i.e. b****, s***).


Heavy language = excessive use of four-lettered swear words and/or the regular use of heavy swear words.

Homosexuality = I do not read or watch media with homosexual activity.  However, some of the media may include references of homosexuality that may not be appropriate for certain age groups.  I will briefly describe what kind of references are included in each individual instance.

Mild sexual references = these are teenage-level instances including making out, awkward sexual instances (i.e. accidental erection) and/or other sexual references that may not be appropriate for certain age groups.  I do not read or watch media with explicit sexual activity.


Sexual references = these are more mature instances such as implied sex (pre or post) and/or other sexual references that may not be appropriate for certain age groups.  I do not read or watch media with explicit sexual activity.

Disturbing images =  comic characters in underwear, gross references (i.e. pooping or barfing), etc.

Violence and blood = I do not read or watch media with explicit violence or gore, like that of a rated R movie.  However, with certain media, there may be presence of fighting, shooting, bleeding, and/or killing that is important to note for those who are sensitive to it.

E for everyone = no negative content to speak of.  It's a miracle!

Note: these content ratings are not perfect, so if you come across content that I did not describe, please let me know and I will update the rating.  Thanks!
