I work full-time outside the home and often find myself staying up late to do my home-making, but it&#39;s so important to MY sense of home and comfort (even without thinking of my family!) that it&#39;s worth it. Also, I do enjoy doing concrete tasks that visibly accomplish something (at least until the kid wakes up!) as a change of pace from my job, which is very abstract and long-term.<br /><br />It&#39;s a funny feeling reading all the WFMW posts from at-home moms and picking up great advice for tasks I have to manage, too--so often, people act as if &quot;home-makers&quot; and &quot;working women&quot; are two separate categories with nothing in common, but really we do a lot of the same things.'Beccahttp://blog.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262212386639665207.post-89122700717078964512010-03-15T10:54:20.422-06:002010-03-15T10:54:20.422-06:00Fresh blooms and scented candles are total miracle works.

If you can&#39;t keep what you have clean, please don&#39;t buy more.&quot;<br /><br />Oh AMEN SISTAH. I know so many people for whom this is such a problem. It is almost as if they buy more to avoid cleaning or in the hopes that that extra thing will somehow bring order out of chaos. So many people clutter up their homes with organizing books/equipment/containers...<br /><br />Thanks again.

When I was exhausted on Valentine&#39;s day and had still more work to do, he sat down and helped write out Valentines and hung a heart banner and baked heart shaped cookies with the kids.<br /><br />A woman&#39;s &quot;place&quot; isn&#39;t always to make the home. Sometimes, it&#39;s to create, accept, and encourage the environment in which &quot;home&quot; flourishes -- no matter who &quot;makes&quot; it.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12738542739547858853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262212386639665207.post-19958693708832162952010-03-10T10:29:09.109-07:002010-03-10T10:29:09.109-07:00What a beautiful post.

I give EVERYTHING and more to my demanding job- fighting the good fight for my little kiddos... but I come home and I am done. I don&#39;t want to do anything more because I have given it all away. That isn&#39;t fair to my husband or my little pets. I need to save some of that energy to be happy, helpful and present when I get home (no matter what time that is)...<br />Thanks for the reminder...
