Someone asked me recently if I have a job. I think this person was surprised/disappointed/annoyed that I don't currently work outside the home. I'm just a housewife. I suppose it's expected for gals in my season of life to establish a career. My kids are in school, my husband works, what's keeping home anyway? Am I not bored?
Believe it or not, my life is quite full. I finally have time to tackle those things I wouldn't try when a teenager, or couldn't try when I was a young mommy. Now I'm learning how to be a homemaker and I actually enjoy it!
Here are a few of the projects I've tackled lately:
Dehydrating Apples
Curling hair with a sock
Making a fall yarn wreath
Roasting veggies without oil or salt
Making over my daughter's room
This week I'll post photos from Emma's room re-do, my bargain shopping, and my fall decorating. I also want to describe some major Martha Moment FAILS to keep it real!
In closing, here is my Martha Stewart Bucket List for November:
Sew holiday themed pillows for the great room
Make a vegetarian Thanksgiving meal
Temporarily turn Em's old bedroom into a craft/sewing/gift wrapping room
Learn how to work a few more things on the camera
Beautify my blog
Make a Christmas wreath
Create a family gallery wall in the upstairs hallway
Recover my dining chairs
