I Stand Accused…

I’m SO domestic!

Over the years I’ve heard from friends or acquaintances the words, “You are so domestic” or “What a Becky Homecky!”

Most often I take this as a compliment, but there has been a time or two when I had to squint one eye and scratch my head to try and figure out where they were going with that statement.

In my book being domestic is GOOD!  I feel feminine and strong, accomplished and helpful, capable and blessed to be domesticated! ;)

What, you ask, makes people proclaim such things about me?

I’m a cook and a baker.

I’m a crocheter and novice sewer.

I’m a laundress.

But, most importantly…

I’m a Momma!

If all of these things make me domestic, I guess I’ll take the nomination!

    Girl, you are so right to take it as the biggest compliment ever. You are woman....

    ....a woman with a most beautiful family. There is just nothin' better than that!

    God bless and have a fantastic day sweetie!!! :o)

    I would NEVER make fun of someone who is domestic but only wish to be more like her! I bake, but I don't cook. I clean, but only because I have to. If you want to kill a plant, give it to me. I can cross stitch, but it takes me 10 years to finish a project. BUT I am a fulltime mama, so I guess that counts for something?? :)
