Home Maker..

I have given my notice at work which means I will be able to focus on things that will truly make me a homemaker.. So what is a homemaker.. "A homemaker handles household responsibilities as his or her main daily activity. While not an occupation in the traditional sense, as it is not usually undertaken for monetary remuneration, a homemaker may work full-time to maintain the home environment. The occupation is typically taken by one adult of a household, such as a parent of a child unless all working age individuals in the household work full-time. If the homemaker is part of the family, a female homemaker is usually termed a housewife, and a male homemaker, a househusband. Thedomestic consumption work[1][2] of homemakers provide goods and services directly within a household, such as cooking meals,childcare, household repairs, or the manufacture of clothes and gifts. Common tasks include cleaning, cooking, and looking after children."
Someone who turns a shelter into a place of refuge, someone who turns food into love.. she gives up all of herself for her family. I know that most women have a hard time being a stay at home mom.. because they feel like they have no identity BUT if they only knew the secret of their job and how they are the ones who holds the world in their hands.. I don't think women realize the power they hold when they choose to be a homemaker.. For they are giving themselves and raising the future.. teaching the children about character, right and wrong.. the importance of honesty and how to work with people.. a Mom teaches her child how to interact with others and most importantly die to self to serve others..!
So a homemaker to me is the best job and yet the hardest!.. for you have to die to self to see future results!.. Selflessness is the key to being a successful homemaker!..

HOW food is the glue to family and friends

Not that long ago a friend asked me for a recipe that I made so she can make this pie... Well I sadly informed her that I have no idea I just made it up as I went along.. She informed me that I have too many recipes that I made up and how I need to be writing this stuff down and I jokingly told her I know I have so many I should write a cookbook!..
Well here it is folks..
Tracy Friedlob and I are on a journey to make a cookbook!..
But this won't be just any cookbook the things we have in my mind will capture you.. We want this book not only to be just a cookbook that you use to try to help you come up with something for dinner but something you use to make you smile and give you feelings of 'remember whens'.. We want this book to take you to a world where you can smell the food cooking and feel the warm of the fire and you go into a world of how food can bring happiest and joy to your family..!
For Food is not only for nutrition but has been used as a social activity for a long time.. what a wonderful way to bring family and friends together.. Picnics and cookouts.. Birthday parties..
Thanksgiving and Easter.. People normally think of certain foods around events that tie families and friends together..
Food is the glue to relationships.. ( in some way.. )
So the journey begins.. the journey of turning food into something that brings people together..
