Home is where my heart is. These four walls and, much more importantly, the souls inside are my raison d’être. Homemaking is hardly the drudgery that modern culture wants us to believe. The art of homemaking is needed. It’s important and offers those who partake a chance to develop a wide range of skills.
The homemaker knows there is never a dull moment, and like any job, there is a risk of burnout. So join me as I cultivate my home and keep the drudgery at bay by breathing new life into my surroundings and its residents whenever I can.

Well, well, well. So what do we have here? A brand new year and a brand new website. A girl needs a pick-me-up now and again. I know you know the feeling - looking at the same thing over and over again until you about go crazy. Well, it's not only my old blog that was...

I receive quite a few questions on how I "do it all"... I find it terribly embarrassing. No one "does it all" and there is NO secret sauce for success, sanity or organization. But... I did get to thinking that there...
