Homemaker Life

Being born and raised in the city doesn’t cover much in terms of how to maintain land, raise livestock or how to best handle weeds and rodents when you’re trying your best at holding down a well-kept vegetable garden. Unless you like to learn, so you read. Unless you like to learn, so you ask your Italian grandmother and grandfather “Why do you make it like that?”. My favourite question - 90% met with no positive feedback whatsoever - “Can you show me the recipe?”. (Trick question little lady, there IS no written recipe.)

Growing up, I never thought I’d be typing the words I’m typing now. Typing them now, I feel somehow out of place. But then I think to myself, “ I AM a homemaker. I cannot deny the title and all that it entails to me if that is what I am.” This is my reality as it is happening now, in real time, as you might say. I could have called this “Homemaker In the City”…maybe I’ll use that description somewhere, unless someone is already using it. But then again, I decided to try my hand at sharing and exploring my life as a homemaker in the city because I couldn’t find anything I was looking for to relate to. So here I am, sharing for my own self expression and also to connect with like-minded friendly souls. 

 

Hello!

Guidance

Family

I was ill for under 24 hours during the week...and my family kinda, sorta, acted a bit...discombobulated?
I don't even know where to begin or even if I need to.

The mother who runs all the household tasks you know what I mean.
 

Food

This month, I am going to try making homemade pasta.
No machine.
Very little counter space.
Here's the recipe:


- 2 cups flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tbs. olive oil

Wish me luck!

UPDATE: it's been MONTHS and I still haven't done this...such a procrastinator.

House

Spring Cleaning:

Always keep a small bin/cardboard box/basket in your home as a "donate" container - throw any and all items that you no longer have use for. Donate when full.
I appreciate this method, because it allows you to truly debate whether it's ready to donate or not, but it hasn't left your home yet.

Try it!
 

Self


Morning stretches - I have been relying on these religiously to keep my headaches at bay. Not having to moan every time I bend down or overreach for something - yes please!

Epsom Salt Bath before bed - you know you want to and you know you should....make the time.
Make it your routine before bed - you MIGHT just fall asleep faster.
