Remedial Home Economics for Busy Homeschool Moms

Home economics is not a subject on which I am well-versed.

Sure, I took the obligatory home economics classes when I was in school. I sewed a dashiki. I needle pointed a small picture. I made a sugar egg with a scene inside. You know, really practical stuff.

At home I picked up a little, but really was not expected to do much. You see, I was raised by perfectionistic grandparents. The fact they were my grandparents meant I was spoiled well-taken care of. The fact they were perfectionists meant I heard, “Just let me do it!” a lot. After all, why should they have me do it when they would just have to do it over again correctly?

So now, I am in a position to teach my daughter home economics. As a homeschooler, I know that this can count not only as a needed life skill but also for homeschool credit. Either way, I want her to have better skills than I do.

Proverbs 31 starting now

Some may have heard the role Proverbs 31 had in my start in couponing.  If you haven't, you can read it here.

One of the things that I noticed during my study of Proverbs 31 was “…She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life” (Proverbs 31:12).  I noticed the word ALL.  Not just her married life, but ALL her life.

Doorposts had a great post recently about that very passage.
