As a woman who fought the stereotype of 'housewife' and was all career driven, having kids and being a mum/housemaker is incredible satisfying. I still work (2 days a week) because my husbands salary is so sporadic, and to be honest I need to work to keep my sanity as well. However, nothing makes me happier than providing for my tribe of men; seeing the kids ask for second helpings of healthy home grown/prepared food, watching kids dig and planting and picking fresh food from the garden and teaching them discipline that comes with the patience of having less money by saving and leaning to go without. One of my proud moments was when my oldest boy was asked about his shirt--he proudly said--my mamma made it! He couldn't care about the second hand material, or the rough sewing job-he was proud of me and damn near broke my heart with happiness. <br />It took my years to find it too , but the importance of family completed me....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503972610868651614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068767580688539325.post-19145397609306449702013-11-23T08:08:52.721+11:002013-11-23T08:08:52.721+11:00Thats wonderful to hear Momma-lana.

I love that our home is less stressful, although getting out the door to school in the morning can make the stress levels rise!! haha Thanks for dropping by, Jan : )Jan (a gluttonous wife)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04980538485559579650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068767580688539325.post-49473422414663635272013-11-23T05:21:05.135+11:002013-11-23T05:21:05.135+11:00So lovely that you love being home.

We don't need more income and our life would be so stressed and harried if I was not here all day keeping the home fires burning and doing what I do. I feel sorry for those who have not found it! I don't feel sorry for me at all. My life is full and interesting every day!momma-lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975411711120382015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068767580688539325.post-45797409045450588532013-11-22T20:57:44.176+11:002013-11-22T20:57:44.176+11:00 Thanks for your lovely comments Lorraine, it real...
