I LOVE brandy&#...Thanks so much for the shout out!<br /><br />I LOVE brandy's blog. She eats very differently from how we eat but I find it so inspiring that she makes practically everything and her home and garden are so pretty (and that girl can sew)! I think her website is a great resource for frugal living.

Do they have an hour to listen to the list!!! :-) I am truly amazed at how much gets done some days!!! The days are usually not long enough!! :) Your statement that "If I am not doing something it's because I'm too tired to do more". hit home. So true!! Yet as tired as we get it is such comforting and rewarding work. A work of love. Yes, I too visit Brenda and Manuela and many other dedicated homemakers. Thanks for adding Brandy as I had forgotten her blog address! I write down recipes and hints and thoughts and love the feeling of a shared purpose in life. My mother and the women I grew up around had so many homemakers in the neighborhood but that is not so much any more. I remember so many talks over the fence she had or chats with others during neighborhood get togethers. Life may be somewhat different now but we can still share our love of home. My mother could pick up the phone and have the corner grocer deliver her a box of groceries but she too waited for when the time and money was right to do her own shopping. We got exercise from walking there and she got the best of the crops as she picked them out herself. We got to visit with neighbors along our walk and the grocers family too. She also had time to teach us why she bought what she pick out and how to wisely use our homemaking dollar. We also enjoyed just being with mother!! Times have changed things but we still use the same principles to spending wisely. It is not a drudgery but a privilege to learn. You are so right we are so blessed.

Doing at home makes most everything more affordable and gives so much satisfaction in a job well done too. <br />Whatever do we homemakers do all day? That always makes me want to roll my eyes. There are not enough hours in my day to do all the homemaking I want to do. <br /><br />I also agree with you on liking Manuela and Brandy- I am so thankful for the Internet to be able to know other homemakers like them and of course you Terri!

It's not easy to find profitable, legitimate work to perform from home, but I imagine that would be ideal for you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-76847709740804664412013-07-06T10:44:58.862-04:002013-07-06T10:44:58.862-04:00Totally agree Terry.

Saves us hundreds of dollars IF I could find someone who would use oil based paint now days. I am am too tired to shop- haha. I agree about blogs- I know yesterday when I was tired after some painting I read a blog. The author talked about something in her kitchen- so even though I was tired it made me want to get up and clean up my kitchen! Everyone needs a little inspiration now and then!
