I have a confession: under all this academia, I want to be a homemaker. I know it's such an out-of-date term and probably has some really negative connotation for some people, but if you really look at the word it has a beautiful meaning. A homemaker has 1 main job that is an umbrella phrase to include all the little things that go into "To make a house a home".
I want that. I want to be able to make a house a home, my home, my family's home. A place we can grow, laugh, cry, and feel safe.
I was born 35 (that's the easiest way to describe it). I have always, literally always, wanted a family of my own and to be a stay-at-home mom. I want to upholster furniture, paint walls, construct beautiful pieces of art, sew, bake, and even make my own little soaps & candles. I know it's so old-fashioned & traditional it kills some people. It's what I want. Why? I don't know. I don't think I'll always be a stay-at-home mom, I don't know if I'll be an unemployed stay-at-home mom, but I want to be able to make my house a home for myself and my family.
For some beautiful inspiration from two of my favorite blogs that are great examples of this beautiful thing I fantasize about see: Emily @Jones Design Company and The Nester @Nesting Place
