No matter what trend a woman falls under, I have discovered that housekeeping is dog gone hard work AND a challenge to do well. I have many "oh, fudge" days, where I lament my unmet expectations for getting stuff done and done with grace and style. But I think I am learning to be easier on myself and just enjoy the process. Housekeeping is certainly not for the faint of heart!! Maybe that's why so many women where eager to run to an outside jobs thinking the grass was greener!Shaolinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111880135950533263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-79504039490634555942013-06-29T01:42:01.382-07:002013-06-29T01:42:01.382-07:00I must admit that through the years I have more or...I must admit that through the years I have more or less tried all of these trends, so I'm speaking from experience:) I, too, usually aim for efficient housewife (with posh elements!), but after several days of cleaning like mad will get a crash and live as bohemian for the next two weeks:)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-84287016068698658732013-06-28T21:29:12.535-07:002013-06-28T21:29:12.535-07:00That is true, Lillibeth, and don't I know it !...That is true, Lillibeth, and don't I know it !Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-79643192370111870492013-06-28T21:25:02.051-07:002013-06-28T21:25:02.051-07:00i think it is good to embrace the coveniences of t...i think it is good to embrace the coveniences of the current times and live as well as you can. It is easy to romanticise the pioneer past but our pioneer parents, at least in my case, set out to improve their lives. They brought up buckets of water from the lake to do the wash, but they were always eager to embrace an easier way. One reason the Victorians were so inventive and made so many automated things was to cut down on the amount of labour and servants it took to run a household.
