The Housewife explores my attempts to recapture the lost arts my mother was more than happy to teach me – but I was much too busy as a little liberated tom-girl playing outside in the woods. Making a home is a worthy endeavor, lots of women juggle work, kids, home, making it all look easy. Let’s elevate the housewife to homemaker with the idea that simple acts of daily life can be creative. We will be the keeper of the keys, do it with honor, responsible for the wise allocation of our families resources. We will not be the one who cleans up after everyone. In the meantime we can laugh at our mistakes and applaud our attempts.
When we were kids and caught anyone doing anything remotely like our moms, we called out HOUSEWIFE ALERT!
