How Do You Learn To Be A Homemaker?

It basically boils down to this:

If I want to learn to cook, I am not going to go to my friends who all know the same level of cooking that I do. Instead I am going to talk to the woman who brings a homemade dish to every Bible study session. Instead of pulling away from the previous generation we should embrace them. We should be taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge that these women have to offer.

The previous generation is a WEALTH of knowledge - soak it up while you can :)

Some are raised in anti-feminist families to be good wives and mothers but when they are young, they look down on domesticity as drudgery, beneath critical thinking and kind of unnecessary. Like, if their moms can do it and make it look easy, IT MUST BE! When they grow up, they crawl back to their mothers tail tucked between legs for tips on how to get & keep a paradise. No, I am not talking about myself at all ;)

This was me! I was raised on hamburger helper, instant mashed potatoes, and canned green beans. But you know what's awesome? The internet! Tonight we had fresh green beans (cooked with sautéed onions, butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper), we had fresh mashed potatoes with parsley, and baked chicken wth tomatoes and mozzarella cheese over a sour cream and dill sauce. It was delicious! It's taken a few years and lots of internet teaching but I can safely say I've become a pretty decent cook... and homemaker :) I love reading blogs about homemaking and find that it takes a lot of organization skills and creativity to use every last bit of food and to manage a household. I have always been an intellectual person, and I was afraid homemaking would not be challenging or stimulating. It's the opposite! I feel like I am constantly challenged because I am always looking for ways to do things better. And there is also time for intellectual pursuits like reading and writing, something I struggled with when I was teaching and every last second was spent lesson planning and grading.

I learned most of my housekeeping skills through Pinterest. ;-)
