About the Blog

GamerWife is both a design and entertaining blog, a chronicle of DIY projects and other hobbies and a place to discuss gaming in relation to women, relationships and life in general. Originally spawned by a conversation with my fiancé and a buddy of his while I was whipping them up a vegan stir-fry during a break between two D&D games, it became evident to me that there wasn’t really a place for non or casual gaming girls to talk about their partner’s gaming in a positive way. Something in between the established stereotypes of “gamer-girl” and “gaming-widow”, GamerWife is about embracing gaming culture in its many forms, regardless of your own personal relationship to gaming.

So go ahead, invite the square-headed girlfriend into bed with you guys. You won’t regret it.
