I was lucky in that I always had a business and my son could be right there with me behind the counter. <br /><br />I forgot to mention from my Maine blog posting a few weeks ago, that I know "We Took to the Woods," by Louise Dickinson Rich. My neighbors in Maine were in their 80s when they told me the story of paddling out to Louise's property for a visit. It took them a day to get there. They were tough outdoors women, but even they were hard pressed to get there!<br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-334289635534899682014-10-23T08:56:27.481-07:002014-10-23T08:56:27.481-07:00Like you, I love being home BEST :) I've done ...Like you, I love being home BEST :) I've done a good bit of both, and each season of life has its needs and necessities.

There Are things I'd like to do and learn. And especially try to bake up a storm. But while I am working that wouldn't be possible. Ahh would be good to find a part time job. It's good to hear that all the mum's in your family are a stay-at-homes. Good for the kids.<br /><br />Thank you for your visit today. Enjoy your trip to Taiwan. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />AidaAida https://www.blogger.com/profile/05993851450911693898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-90582855719438929082014-10-19T17:03:18.633-07:002014-10-19T17:03:18.633-07:00I would love to just stay home and be a homemaker ...I would love to just stay home and be a homemaker but since we are short handed on the farm I started working full time at the farm and doing the farm bookwork at home and caring for the house and yard and every things in between.<br /><br />Maybe some day I'll be able to retire and enjoy doing the things I did when I was raising my children at home.

This old house of mine is now pretty neglected. When I was first married I was a school teacher until our first child was born in 1979. I went back to work when hubby went back to school in the late 80's. I'm so happy to be a stay at home wife now...<br />I'll clean in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas LOL!

Some just have to work to make ends meet, but lucky are the ones who can actually make that leap for their family. As for cleaning, as you I am just lazy, so I hired a cleaning lady when I was working and I just can't seem to let her go. She can get it all done in 3 hours when cleaning the whole house at once would take me all day or two. I like home, too.

I do not do that in my own home, but I should. I really should. I rather do a little here and there when it needs it instead of doing the cleaning all at once.<br /><br />I'm glad your girls are now staying at home with their littles. It isn't long when they are all busy and off doing so many things and the time at home is soon gone.<br /><br />Wishing you happy and safe travels to Taiwan.

I'm still a lazy cleaner, but I try to keep things picked up and watch those "hot spots". (Spots that collect clutter.) Now that you've cleaned, you can relax for a couple of decades, eh? I'm SO glad that all of the moms in your family are able to stay home with their kids. It's such a blessing to them and the kids. :)<br />A trip to Taiwan sounds exciting! Home will feel so good afterwards. Blessings to you!

Oh well, I guess everything is a bit slower now.<br />Taiwan... wow... how exciting! I hope you have a wonderful trip, although I understand about the being homesick.<br />I think it is nice and admirable that you don't express your opinion on how women spend their time. I think there is no right or wrong way. It's just important that we do what is best for ourselves and our families.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-24795903799103068082014-10-17T14:08:57.987-07:002014-10-17T14:08:57.987-07:00I love that everyone is stay at home Moms in your ...I love that everyone is stay at home Moms in your house too. <br />I love your dear little house and you get to stay home. <br />It sounds all so pleasant and homey today. <br />Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-68281573489284749682014-10-17T13:11:27.080-07:002014-10-17T13:11:27.080-07:00I have always loved being a stay-at-home mom too. ...I have always loved being a stay-at-home mom too.
