Oh, I know that those rose-colored glasses we sometimes wear when viewing the world in hindsight do not give us 20-20 vision, but I think there were some beautiful and worthy aspects of the past that have been lost. I'd like to see some features of olden days return. Not all!
I am not very interested in Facebook, but the small amount I was on during the past two political dust-ups cemented my determination to never bring politics into my blogging! So this is just a peek at the past, not a hidden message as to political leanings.
Maybe I will retype the creed and add "I Believe...homemaking should include cross-stitch, embroidery, crocheting, or other needlework each day." Ha!
What fun to read through the old creed.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you here! I'm so happy to have found your blog. Yes, isn't that old creed sweet?
DeleteThat's great!
ReplyDeleteGood old Betty Crocker. I do believe most of it home should be a place of peace sadly there are a lot of people where it is not

Too true, Cathy. Yes, home should be a haven...
DeleteThis is such a good post! I think home making and child rearing has taken such a back seat to other things these days and I believe it is a very noble and necessary career. I have been a homemaker for the past 45 years and I never wanted to do anything else! And thank you for no politics. I am not a political person and it has all become a bit much.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I would like to see homemaking honored as a true profession. It is a profession AND a labor of love!
DeleteI love this! And yes, yours NEEDS to be on there, too...at the top of the list :)
ReplyDeleteI get an extra lift to my heart when I get some stitching done!
DeleteI love your homemakers creed ( or should I say Betty Crockers homemaking creed. Did you know she wasn't (isn't) a real person? Too bad. She could be good inspiration.)
ReplyDeleteSay it isn't so, Granny Marigold! Well, I appreciate her just as if she was real!
DeleteMaintaining a home is a full time profession, no matter how many people are involved and responsible.
ReplyDeleteSo very true, Joanne.
DeleteIt's a lovely creed, but I agree with Granny Marigold. Betty Crocker was not a real person, but a concoction created to sell cook books, recipes, and cake mixes.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed anything from Betty Crocker! Especially the cake mixes. The spice cake!
