I realized the other day that I have not posted on this blog for a very long time. It's interesting how life runs sometimes. I've been doing more writing that I have for years but it has been a bit different from the short, practical pieces I am use to with blogging.
Homekeeping is an art. If you don't think of it as a creative and even artistic process it can become drudgery. OK, I know cleaning a bathroom or mopping a floor is not very creative. Just like kneading clay before making a pot or prepping a canvas before painting takes no creativity either, but if you look at the larger picture of creating a home that you, your family and friends enjoy, it's the prep work that makes the finished product possible. Imagine a beautifully decorated room w/ a dirty floor and smears from little hands across the walls or a table w/ great food served on dirty dishes. Yuck.
Hopefully I'll start blogging here a bit more regularly. In the meantime you might be interested in checking out my daughters' Sarah and Kristin's new blogs. Sarah has started a cooking blog potsnplans.blogspot.com and Kristin has two; a product review site kristinsreview.com and a site about her experiences as a mom and homemaker purposefulhomemaker.com.
