American Housekeepers Farmhouse Book Print - Our Handcrafted Life

I absolutely love today’s free printable, although I know not everyone will share my feelings. The illustration came from a vintage book and I love that it portrays the homemaker as a strong, confident woman. 

Lots of people view housewives as bratty, gossiping, bon-bon eating sloths because of a certain line of TV shows. But our husbands and families know that the majority of us work hard and play hard.

I do get to spend a lot of time at the park and the library. Most of my days are filled with feeding ducks and watching bunnies, running outside and reading picture books.

But I also get my fair share of work – laundry and dishes, scrubbing and weeding. I get to make sure that my husband never has to worry about taking time off work to take a sick kiddo to a doctor’s appointment or finding a sitter for the meeting that runs late.

I work hard so that our evenings and weekends can be spent relaxing instead of racing to finish errands and chores. I work to make sure that our family regularly reconnects and recharge in the middle of hectic schedules.

On top of that (purely out of my own choosing), I get to run a business and help other people learn new skills from the little desk set up in our dining room.
