The Real Housewives Of China

 What I like about this video is that it feels so authentic;)

Feel Good Christmas Housewife Vlog

 Not mine, though, but from a Gypsy housewife in Texas:

 

P.S. I always keep my tree till Epiphany, what about you???

My Favourite Housewives

 Here are some of the channels I watch(ed) 

An American lady:

A Mid-Eastern one 

 And one from Korea

I do realise these are business projects and they are earning quite a bit from these vids (especially the Korean lady). I think the Gypsy girl is the most genuine one, but it's still fun to watch! 

Another Example Of Weekly Routine

 

 

I just don't get when she is doing her zone cleaning. 

Low Income Meals

 From my favourite housewife. She gives tips on weight loss, too:

 

Cooking isn't a chore, it's art!

I'm Getting Addicted!

 To Korean homemaking videos, like this one:

There are lots more on YouTube, with children and without, and one with 7 cats:)

Really cute!

Pandemic 10$ Shopping Challenge

Another great video from Quaint Housewife:



She is so creative and inspiring, I always enjoy watching her.

Eating Organic For 20$ A Week

Another great video from my favourite housewife:



It's truly amazing how she keeps coming up with these menus and recipes which are budget and still quite balanced and nutritious. So inspiring!

Those of us struggling financially will probably find these videos interesting:

Lydia Sherman Reviews My Book

In her latest installment of the Housewife Radio:




(For the review, scroll to the 25th minute.)

She was kind enough to link to it in her post, too.

Equal Rights

As I'm recovering from a rather bad food poisoning case. I'll leave you with this episode of I Love Lucy, instead of a normal post:

Equal Rights

I hope you'll enjoy it:)

Feminism Is Making Men Lazy

Someone sent me the link to this great video:



I've seen it happen in real life, the wife goes back to work and the husband starts working less and less, develops pain in his back and quits. As with all negative society trends, the lower classes tend to be affected more, which is probably by design.

BTW, YouTube censoring continues. I simply couldn't find the video on YouTube but DuckDuckGo had no problem.

Leaving Something Behind

Most of my readers have probably watched the video by Lydia Sherman called Homemaker Encouragement where among other things, she's talking about women engaging in creative hobbies like needlework or painting. She mentions that their works will live on after they are gone and even sometimes could end up in a museum.

Which reminded me of a true story I heard several years ago, about a lady in my country who was a childless homemaker and her hobby was quilting. Through the years, she made so many quilts that her husband had to hire a a storage place for them and she came on the news because of it. So when they asked her why she was doing it all, she said that since her husband and herself weren't able to have any children, she wanted something to leave behind, something which would survive them and quilting was the one thing she was really good in.

Lydia further mentions writing letters and poetry which was quite popular in the 1950s. When you think of it, there are books which consist of letters and diaries of famous people like politicians, for instance. Yet, like someone pointed out, when the current generation of celebrities dies, there will probably be nothing left behind. May be, they'll start publishing someone's tweets in a book form???

Another problem of modernity, I guess:)

A Cool YouTube Channel

I'm very much into Bushcraft videos as of late. I find them very hygge, if you know what I mean:) They are especially good watching before you go to bed.

Here is a nice channel by a Danish guy who does solo Bushcraft:

 Rune Malte Bertram-Nielsen

Some of his vids are nearly as long as a movie or at least, a TV series episode, and, he doesn't say a word, which will be probably appreciated by some guys. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Fighting Loneliness

My favourite housewife is back with a new video:

Vintage Lifestyle

Here is an interesting video by Rain San Martin, a working lady who supports homemakers and promotes femininity on her YouTube channel.

She made me wonder about my own home. Could it be said that my lifestyle is vintage, too? I should think that I'm quite modern in many regards, but then I don't have either a dishwasher or a dryer and hang my clothes on the roof to dry:)

Is your lifestyle vintage in any way? Feel free to share!

Yes, you can do it!

 If I hear one more person telling me how they'd love to be a one-income family but they really do need this huge house, I think I'm going to scream:) In my time, working mothers at least had some decency to pretend they loved their jobs, nowadays they openly state it's all about money ( I actually read a discussion where a woman was asked why she worked and she answered with I really love the money, no kidding!)

I have always been puzzled by the fact that so many folks insist they need a bigger house with a garden when

a) they have the maximum of 2 kids
b) their house is always messy because they don't have time to clean it due to the working schedules
c) the only thing they do with their garden is to pave it with tiles (which, in my opinion, should be forbidden by law:)

So here I found a video which once again proves, that it's quite possible to raise a family in an average size house and be happy. It features a Danish couple who live with their 4 kids in a house of 93 m2 (which not so long ago, used to be a normal size Euro town house). The mom chose to be a homemaker which means they have to save and be inventive with the space they have.  Their living room is 20 m2, and their two older children (daughters) share a bedroom of 6 m2. And you know what? They are doing fine!

It probably helps that this is a Christian family, yet in my observation, many Christians nowadays appear just as much (if not more) obsessed with money and status as their unbelieving counterparts.Yet this family, apart from not inhabiting a 5 bedroom semi-detached, don't appear to be lacking much, which proves another of my points. If you choose to live on one income, you won't be really "poor" in Western Europe, you'll just have a bit less luxury in your life. You'll still be able to drive a car and go on vacation, but of a budget sort.

So yes, you can be a housewife, even in Denmark, if you choose to. Here is the link to the video.
