Spring CleaningSpring Clean with Me!Having a Plan
Having a Plan! Just a simple little 9 page booklet about having a daily plan for housework, and the motivation to get things moving.
Available for purchase on Amazon NOTE: I was basically testing the app to see what format I needed to publish a real book/kindle book. I don't understand a lot of the terms, and things about certain programs on Word, pdf, etc. 😅 But it turned out okay, for a first, I guess. Can't figure out how to delete it now. 🧐 If I had known it would actually load, and fit their format, I would have tried to make it more interesting. LOL 📖 🤓 But here it is anyway. . . I might as well post it here since I now have an author's page. LOL Visit my page HERE on this website, or visit Pinterest by clicking photo above.

Well, now, there is one very excellent, necessary, and womanly accomplishment that no girl should be without, for it is a help to rich and poor, and the comfort of families depends upon it. This fine talent is neglected nowadays, and considered old-fashioned, which is a sad mistake, and one that I don't mean to make in bringing up my girl. It should be a part of every girl's education, and I know of a most accomplished lady who will teach you in the best and pleasantest manner."
"Oh, what is it?" cried Rose eagerly, charmed to be met in this helpful and cordial way. "Housekeeping!" answered Dr. Alec. "Is that an accomplishment?" asked Rose, while her face fell, for she had indulged in all sorts of vague, delightful dreams. "Yes; it is one of the most beautiful as well as useful of all the arts a woman can learn. Not so romantic, perhaps, as singing, painting, writing, or teaching, even; but one that makes many happy and comfortable, and home the sweetest place in the world. Yes, you may open your big eyes; but it is a fact that I had rather see you a good housekeeper than the greatest belle in the city. It need not interfere with any talent you may possess, but it is a necessary part of your training, and I hope that you will set about it at once, now that you are well and strong."

Gardening in the Spring
Gardening and Foraging in the Spring. . .
Dandelions, Sassafras being two of my favorite tonics for this time of the year. After being cooped up all winter, I also love to get out when it warms up and check on the dewberries, blackberries, spring flowers blooming, and watch the birds scurrying around building their nests. It inspires me to freshen up my yard, porch, and house. Hanging out the quilts, and blankets, in the fresh spring air. I love opening up the windows and airing out the house, and start spring cleaning as well. Sweeping away the cobwebs, dusting, refreshing everything just gives me a pep in my step. A little about Spring Cleaning, might be what you need to do the same. And have a look at other things I find very so nice about Spring HERE and HERE. Winter Cozies

Proverbs 31:22 KJV says, “She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.”
This verse describes a wife who is industrious and skilled, and who takes care of her household's basic needs. (emphasis mine) *She furnishes her house well and has good clothing for herself and her family (Pro_31:22): She makes herself coverings of tapestry to hang her rooms, and she may be allowed to use them when they are of her own making. Her own clothing is rich and fine: it is silk and purple, according to her place and rank. Though she is not so vain as to spend much time in dressing herself, nor makes the putting on of apparel her adorning, nor values herself upon it, yet she has rich clothes and puts them on well. The senator’s robes which her husband wears are of her own spinning, and they look better and wear better than any that are bought. She also gets good warm clothing for her children, and her servants’ liveries. She needs not fear the cold of the most pinching winter, for she and her family are well provided with clothes, sufficient to keep out cold, which is the end chiefly to be aimed at in clothing: All her household are clothed in scarlet, strong cloth and fit for winter, and yet rich and making a good appearance. They are all double clothed (so some read it), have change of raiment, a winter suit and a summer suit. ~Matthew Henry  Image by Rebekka D from Pixabay
"Her very soul is in the home, and in the discharge of all those quiet virtues of which home is the centre. Her husband will be to her what her father is now--the object of all her care, solicitude and affection. She will see nothing but by him, and through him. If he is a man of sense and virtue, she will sympathize in his sorrows, divert his fatigue, and share his pleasures."
—SIR WALTER SCOTT--Waverley. 
“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”
