« Previous EntriesAre You a Wise Woman?
Thursday, January 28th, 2010This week, I’ve been writing much about home and family, and touching on our roles as a woman in the home and family. It’s a hotly debated topic – even in the churches, and often causes division and much upheaval.
I myself struggle with fully understanding and embracing the role of wife & mother within the [...]
Keeping House or Keeper At Home
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010The idea of the housewife in apron and pearls permeates even my line of thinking when it comes to the title “Homekeeper”. The problem is, that is where the trivialization of this role began. Being a Keeper At Home is far more valuable than Keeping House.
Keeping House implies housework, drudgery, and simple servitude. A housekeeper [...]
Are You Blissfully Domestic?
Monday, January 25th, 2010In our world, being “domestic” is equivalent to being demeaned. Being a servant is belittled. Being submissive is scandalous.

Oh yeah – this works for me!

Get Started Organizing
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010After tackling my desk yesterday in honor of National Clean Your Desk day, I discovered something! I’ve always known I am easily overwhelmed by a lot of little tasks. I see the big picture before me and everything begins to blur into one big glob and I’m easily lost in the ginormous proportions of the [...]
Clean Your Desk!
Monday, January 11th, 2010Today is National Clean Your Desk Day.
Really.
And that’s a good thing. Cuz if I didn’t have to write about it, I probably would continue to allow my desk to be our CATCH-ALL.
My desk is not a desk – it is a shelf for papers, both filed and unfiled – momentos from school or special occasions [...]
Taking A Look Back…
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010I do like the beginning of a New Year – saying goodbye to the previous year and considering the accomplishments – the successes – the trials and struggles – and where I am headed now.
How about you? Does the end of one year and beginning of another mean something special to you?
I thought I’d highlight [...]
