Was blessed beyond measure having my parents make the effort and sacrifice for my mother to be full-time with me and my 3 brothers. As a daughter, this was invaluable to me! Icing on the cake, she was an excellent home-maker(miss her HEAPS!) and was so richly gifted in hospitality. Recognizing the immeasurable blessing she was to me and my brothers propelled my husband and me to do whatever it took so that we would be raising our children. We are so thankful that we made that decision. Perhaps Annette (my daughter also subscribed) could comment on her observations (though I hope she offers grace with my homemaking inadequacies, since my mother's homemaking excellence was not inherited by me...must have skipped a generation as I see Annette has it. She is my mother's namesake :) )
I grew up surrounded by amazing homemakers. My father's mother worked because she had to as a young widow with 3 children, but my mother, and my maternal grandmother were both homemakers and stay at home moms, and I was lucky enough to grow up with my father's grandmother also alive and well.
I feel like I have a headstart as a homemaker, because I grew up surrounded by incredible examples of what to do and how to do it. I didn't inherit nearly as many recipes as I would have liked (mostly because they were never translated to English on my mom's side, and never written down on my dad's), but I did inherit a wonderful sense of pride in and duty to my home and my family. ❤️❤️❤️
