  • Intentional Homemaking Workbook #2
    Day 15 What to Clean and When Have you ever wondered if life is harder than it could be? Sometimes, as homemakers, we make life harder for ourselves without even realizing it! Today I’m talking about what to clean and when. How often do you really need to clean out the refrigerator? Let’s talk about it. One day a few years ago, I had this epiphany moment and realized that there were a lot of little things I did on a daily basis that added stress to my life without me even realizing it. Like not doing my chores when I should. You think you’re having more fun, until you realize you just created more work for yourself. Let’s face it. Most of us really just want to clean as little as possible and still maintain a reasonably neat and tidy home. I AVIRTUOUSWOMAN.ORG know some of you really love to clean and that’s awesome. But I know many of us have so much on our plates that keeping the house neat feels like an impossible task at times. Understanding what to clean and when will help you create a cleaning routine that works for you. Homemaking and housekeeping aren’t necessarily the same things. You can be very clinical and orderly in your housekeeping and have a clean home by doing your chores every day. Creating a space that feels like home, in my opinion, embodies so much more than just getting the chores done. But, chores are certainly a big part of homemaking.

  • THE USE of TIME by HOMEMAKERS with CHILDREN Abstract Approved (Major Professor)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Bonnie Martin Meyer for the M. S. in Household Administration (Name) (Degree) (Major) Date thesis is presented ¿/ » 1, /,?9 Title THE USE OF TIME BY HOMEMAKERS WITH CHILDREN Abstract approved (Major Professor) The purpose of the study was to find out how a group of faculty wives with children used their time and to investigate some factors in housing and equipment which might influence how they used their time. A comparison was made between homemakers with two pre - school age children and homemakers with two school age children in the way they used their time. Following a letter of explanation of the study, the writer con- tacted the homemakers by phone to make an appointment to visit them. During this visit the writer obtained the information for the questionnaire and explained the time sheets. Twenty -four home- makers, 12 with pre - school children, and 12 with school -age chil- dren kept usable records for this study. The homemakers ranged in age from 21 to 62 years of age. All of the homemakers had attended college with 42 percent gradu- ating and an additional 16.5 percent earning their master's degree. Two were registered nurses. Both groups averaged four years of work before marriage. The homemakers with pre -school children had been married an average of eight years while the homemakers with school age children had been married an average of 18 years. The children ranged in age from four months to 18 years old. The 12.5 percent of the families that did not own their own homes were all from the group with pre - school children.

    Bee Prepared by making Meals in a Jar for your food storage Copyright: Please do not reproduce this lesson and give it to other people. Direct them to www.homemakingdivas.com to purchase their copy or you can contact Stacy [email protected] ©www.homemakingdivas.com Meals in a jar are easy to cook. The ingredients are already cut up and measured so when you get ready to make the meal you only have a few steps to prepare the meal. Most recipes just need water added at cooking time. The size of the jar is versatile and can be made for the number of servings in your household. The quart size meals in a jar makes a meal for a family of 5-6 and averages about 9 cups of prepared food. The meals can be made in Mylar bags, but canning jars are preferable because the jar is reusable. When canning jars in a hot water bath you need to buy a new lid every time you bottle food but making a meal in a jar is different. You need a new lid the first time you make a meal but that lid can be reused later. Mylar bags are good to send with college students or friends that will throw away the jar. The pint sized meals in a jar are perfect for a single person or a couple. The hardest part about cooking after your family leaves home is all the leftover food. The pint size meal makes 2-3 servings so you won’t get tired of the food.
