But I am not good at cleaning! I pretty much live like a teenage boy as far as cleaning is concerned. I think it's awesome that you love those things and want to be a housewife. You'll be good at it, and it will make you happy. God knows I could never work in a cubicle! Blech.<br /><br />I'm excited to find out about your new business!<br /><br />Thanks for weighing in:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720022400918053257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448624606158231425.post-1961559492630088442011-07-07T11:14:02.678-04:002011-07-07T11:14:02.678-04:00I love you Ariane!

Not kidding. And I think that sounds bad to some people, but I LIKE doing household things, keeping things clean, cooking, etc. I don't like folding laundry, but I'll do it so long as I don't have to go to an office on top of it.<br /><br />I mean, I'd still do crafty things too and hopefully have a bit of my own business (btw, we need to get together, I will tell you about my new business which is not really art-related, but will be fun!), but I really can't stand working for other people and I enjoy making out home nice. One day I want to have a garden and chickens and... stuff. =]erin e flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314443901909461831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448624606158231425.post-52301450164605173592011-07-07T10:36:28.361-04:002011-07-07T10:36:28.361-04:00I struggled with this alot at first too.

I went from being a single working mom (feminist superhero) to being a stay-at-home, bread-making, gardening, sewing wife and mother... ummmm... who am I again? The truth is, at my core I believe my daughter (hell, my sons too) can grow up and play whatever role they want to. And I can too! I think this gig is waaaaay more challenging than being a cubicle cowboy. I think it's important, and I don't have get my hardcore feminist card revoked just because I like making bread and raising my kids, you know?<br /><br />ps-you inspired me to change my FB profile pic back to my happy housewife with a cake.
