Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding. Proverbs 3:13
Over the course of my time as a homemaker I have really tried to lean into the idea that I as the mom am the one that more often than not will be the one that sets the tone in my home. That means when things like what happened on Saturday rather than allowing the anger and frustration ruin an opportunity to be loving and understanding I was able to use the situation to help make things calm and resolve the problem peacefully. Here are a few things to think about when things sometimes go wrong.
Growing up I knew that houses needed to be cleaned because I helped with cleaning the house I lived in. I knew laundry needed to be done because by the time I was old enough to reach the nobs on the machines I was doing my own laundry (for the most part).

These are all things I KNEW needed to be done because I lived in a well-lived in house.

I think we can all agree that 2020 hasn't been the most splendid year that we have all experienced. The year started off, in my opinion on rocky ground simply due to the fact that it is an election year. We began the year being bombarded with campaign ads and propaganda insisting we consider voting… Continue reading Looking Forward and Planning Ahead

Photo by tata toto on Unsplash One thing I always loved when I was a kid was various types of arts and crafts projects. It probably helps that my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother were all very into different types of handicrafts. And because of that they made sure to teach all of us the different… Continue reading Monday Memories: Sewing with RaeLynn
