When I think of HOMEMAKING I think of certain homes that I remember enjoying as a child.  There was a certain spirit or attitude about the home that defined it.

Grandma's was comfortable, warm and relaxed. Our home was light, breezy, fresh and creative (we had no tv so we made up songs, plays and games).  My best friends house was dark, loud (tv's blaring), cluttered with things and unwelcoming.  Everyone's home has an identity of sorts. What do you think yours is? Is it what you'd like it to be?

 

What is the spirit/feeling of your home?

 

Do you remember a home where you loved to spend time as a child? Was it your grandmother's or maybe a friends house?

What was the spirit of that home? What drew you to that place? 

 

How are you doing in creating that environment for your family?  What changes could you make today to get closer to what you'd like for your family?

 

(rhetorical questions...Does your husband enjoy being at home with you? Are your children thriving? Do you enjoy being with your family?)
