My home is not immaculate and evidence of children is everywhere but I do my best to keep it clean and orderly without stressing too much about the cobwebs in the high rafters or hand prints on the windows. What I struggle with is what my attitude should be when I see/enter homes that are always in total disorder/chaos when we visit (dirty as well as cluttered). I try and pretend not to notice, try to work out the reasons why they don't seem to mind living like that. I enjoy their company but feel so uncomfortable in their surroundings. Any advice June? You can also feel uncomfortable/unwelcome when you visit a home that is so perfect you pray that your children don't drop any crumbs for fear the owner will stand over them with a dustpan and brush in hand as they eat their biscuit from a plate (yes, that has happened to me in the past!) In between the two extremes there is a beautiful balance and I think you captured the essence of that wonderfully. My homemaking mentor was Emilie Barnes, I gleaned so much from her books that I still apply today.

What I learned from her gave me a good foundation for learning and growing as a wife and mother. <br /><br />Thank you for this lovely post... I certainly want to give my daughters this kind of legacy!Kristy's Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405576662398635718noreply@blogger.com
