The Start Of the Change

Okay, this is the first post in this blog and will be a short one as I have alot to do today. I know there are alot of blogs out there of the Susie Homemaker and the Vintage wife. Things like that. Well I am going to add another one to the mix. I am begining my journey into becoming a Susie Homemaker. I have a wonderful husband and 2 wonderful girls and I would like to be a better Homemaker for them all. I would like to be able to keep a clean house, take care of my daughters better, and be a better cook. Basically be an all around better wife and mother. So I have joined a couple of groups online and am working on creating my Home Management Binder and am doing my best at going through the transformation into a true housewife. I am a beginner at pretty much everything. I am a beginner cook and a beginner at sewing as well. I don't have a sewing machine, so any sewing that I attempt right now is all by hand with needle and tread. I have made a pillow out of recieving blankets, but the fabric started to come apart in the wash. The sewing stayed together. So I apparently did a decent job at sewing, but the fabric decided to start to come apart. So needless to say my 5 year old that I gave the pillow to wasn't very happy. She was upset that her pillow fell apart. Maybe one of these days I will be able to repair it and keep it together. But for now, my new sewing project if I ever have time is going to make an apron. Not sure how it will go and how much grief my Husband will give me, but I am going to give it a try when I have time. But I do need to get going and working on the house work. I need to get a thorough top to bottom cleaning done on this house, so I can make an actual cleaning schedule. Then maybe have time to do other things throughout the day. Wish me luck, I am off to work on the house cleaning!
