I've often said that the family unit was strong for hundreds and hundreds of years for a reason and if we can stick to those "old-fashioned" values, the family unit can continue to be strong. Unfortunately, with the world now being more modern, a lot of those values have been lost, thus families falling apart. I'm glad to see there's still some of us "Old- Fashioned" folks left!

The Lord has been reminding me of what a privalege this is to be home, making a home for my family. Lovely post, Sandra. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the good {and God honoring} work!

I work third shift and find myself leaving the bulk of the housework for my days off. I always feel my house is in disarray, and I never have enough time. Thanks again!!! You are an inspiration!

I posted on my blog a load of things I've been given that were my beautiful Nan (who passed away a few years ago) and my wonderful Granddad. I too love the links to the past, they are to be treasured, to be learned from, and are a blessing.<br /><br />You are awesome.

Most of the time, I've kept up on house work and I don't mind the tasks. Laundry folding and putting away is usually dreaded, but the rest isn't upsetting or annoying at all. Lately I feel that it's too much and if I do it, I'm missing out on opportunities to do things with the kids or things for me. I need to just relax a little and quit trying to do it all every day. Our jobs are sooooo important. I'm proud to be a housewife/mother and women like you help to give us all a good name. You inspire me to be better.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791408808472762904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-11184370283635401482013-05-21T21:14:18.929-05:002013-05-21T21:14:18.929-05:00Hi i enjoy reading your blog!!!

I have a question, on the days that you dust do you dust everything in your house, i mean like knick knacks,cieling fans, baseboards, pictures etc...? If i dust that's what i do and it becomes a hassle and i don't do it like i should because i dreed it can take 4-5 hours, if you can give advice as to how you do your dusting and keep your house clean i would appreciate it, maybe their is a better way to stay on top of the dusting and you could share your tips with us!!

Even though I am old enough to know better and have many years on you, I still haven't got it figured out (I'm quite the mess sometimes).<br /><br />I do love being a homemaker but get frustrated because of the disorganization. Your routine makes good sense and I just might try to 'teach this old dog a new trick'. xoSherri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03956294100834139745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-42360642142256226732013-05-21T17:03:42.924-05:002013-05-21T17:03:42.924-05:00So love this post, Sandra!

That seems to get piled up with a family of 6, but then I remind myself that I need to do all things to glorify God. Even the small "mundane" tasks I sometimes find myself grumbling over... *blush* I am very usually a very cheerful & upbeat person, but I think we all have our "moments"... This post was exactly what I needed to read today. :) Thank-you!!! ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-31677478847650143222013-05-21T16:54:54.283-05:002013-05-21T16:54:54.283-05:00I can't tell you how much I love this post San...I can't tell you how much I love this post Sandra.
