I’m doing the “Friday File” a day early because I have something else planned for tomorrow. I don’t think anyone will mind.
This first article says so well the way I feel. I don’t want my husband to always get what’s left of me. Often my sole reason for taking a nap is so I will be fresh for my husband when he gets home. Our children are only in our lives for a few years. Our husband is with us for the rest of our life; we must so carefully nourish our relationship with him.
Why I Don’t Want to Serve My Husband Leftovers
This is so well said. There is no higher job than being a homemaker. First of all, it requires skill and discipline to make sure everything runs smoothly in the home. More importantly, we are blessing and influencing our husband and children with eternity’s values in view.
7 Myths of a Full Time Homemaker
The older I get, the more loved ones I have in Heaven. The longer I live as a Christian, the more I love the Lord and look forward to meeting him.
I’ve been enjoying watching “My Cupcake Addiction” videos on YouTube. She makes everything look so simple. Here’s a really cute idea for some garden cupcakes.
Sadly true.

Intentional Simplicity 
I can so understand this article about giving the husband the leftovers. So hard when they are babies and young and you have to be on duty almost full-time. I always made it a priority to put the kiddos in bed by 7:30 and then close our door and have our time together. Of course, there are/were always knocks on the door and babies needing to be fed again, and then again and of course again but we always made early bed for kids a priority. This still serves us well today as we STILL go into our room around 7:30 and although the 9 and 7 year old can stay up ’til 8 they know to come for a quick good night and go to bed on their own. We see them throughout the whole day and so they know it is mommy/daddy time at night š It works š
I agree homemaking is VERY fulfilling – I also believe that no college degree is needed to raise your children OR teach them. If your heart is with the Lord you can do all of it. I do not regret not finishing college and in fact we are training our girls to be keepers at home thereby saving thousands of dollars on college tuition. They will thank us, I’m sure :). I am STILL learning on a daily basis how much learning I’m doing while teaching :).
Good articles – thanks for sharing!
