Happy Father's Day!

Please hug your dad for me today! :)

A work obsessed society

Here's another rant of mine: that it's not okay for a woman to be a wife: she has to work! When I tell people I am a homemaker, they hint and nag me about getting a job.

It's not like I was single and on welfare: I have a husband who gladly supports me. There are still men out there who protect their wives against the hardship of earning a living. I call them real men!

But in this work obsessed society, people won't take that for an answer.

Privacy

I'm a pretty private person so it bothers me when people ask me all sorts of personal questions, like if I work.

My two part time jobs are ending very soon and my dear husband is still unemployed. To be honest, I'd rather be a full time homemaker but these two opportunities came up and I couldn't say no to them.

There is a strong possibility that my husband will be going back to school soon, so we'd live on student loans and I might try to find something as well.

Perhaps it is where I live, which is very socialist and anti-housewife, but it just bothers me when strangers get into my business! Politeness and manners are not what they used to be...

For example, people ask me if I work a full time job on top of my part time job. My job is to organize my household, not to be in business like my husband.

The retro wife

Here's a recent article about some feminists choosing to be homemakers:

The majority of British women would rather be housewives

Here's an interesting article:

It just shows that being a housewife is not that bad! :)

Ode to Ina Garten

I don't know if you've ever watched her show "Barefoot Contessa" on the Food Network? Her recipes are simply mouth watering and delicious! I haven't made them all yet, but many and they've all been successes.

Highly recommended! :)

The joy of cooking

Cooking oftentimes feels like a chore to many people, but it doesn't have to be. Planning menus can be difficult, but with practice, it becomes easier.

Cooking at home is cheaper than eating out and is much healthier as well. If you take the time to prepare meals well, you'll find a lot of joy into it!

Adjusting to life

It's been rather hard going from my husband leaving every day for work to being home all day. But things happen in life and we just need to adjust!

I welcome any frugal meal ideas you may have! Food is our most expensive bill and prices just keep going up!

Ten lies of feminism

Happy Mother's Day!

Here's an interesting link concerning feminist lies:

We can't deny the damage that feminism has caused to women, especially mothers who keep getting pressure to abandon their duties at home!

On being a housewife in modern times

Being a housewife used to be as natural as breathing the air. For centuries and milleniums, women used to take care of their husbands, children and home; it is only since the 1960's that things have changed thanks to feminism.

With convenient foods and convenient appliances, many people don't see any value in being a housewife. My husband and I are different: both our mothers are housewives so our roles just felt natural.

I've had career moms tell me they could never stay at home, which I find sad because their kids are really out of control! They don't get to appreciate them and want to be away from them all day.

I don't have kids (yet!), but our place still needs home cooked food and cleaning. When both work, it is easy to fall back on take out foods, which are more expensive.

Besides, the Bible commands women to be keepers at home!
