What I Love About Being a Homemaker . . .
. . . on a random day in December:Scented candles
An extra trip to town for dinner ingredients, because I just felt like having shrimp and lemon and garlic pasta tonight
Lowering the kitchen lights, lighting the Advent candle, and soaking in thoughts of the Light of the world
Getting to have a half-hour telephone conversation with my son who's two states away
Enjoying homemaking pictures from inspiring magazines, even if they are of iced tea in pretty crystal glasses while I'm two feet from the fireplace and wearing layers
Being home to get fires going, giving physicality to the statement, "Keeping the home fires burning"
Homemaking books from my shelves that inspire me to love my family even more
Food, glorious foodThese are simple SMOKED SALMON APPETIZERS. Spread smoked salmon strips with softened cream cheese. Put sliver of dill pickle in center and roll up. Voila.
What do you love about being a homemaker on a random day in December?

I like the ability to personalize our space and make it welcoming to others through good food and fellowship.
great post!
Me too. I love being a housewife. Its so much better than real work LOL. Have a wonderful weekend. *kisses* HH
I like not having to dress up (professionally that is- I do get dressed!)
I like having the time to make bread (should I have the notion)
I like being able to run errands during the day to help hubby and home!
I like being able to make a dinner that requires a little extra time and effort b/c I'm home to do that,rather than a rushed dinner every night.
Beautiful post, Lynn! I really love being able to make my house a home!
This month I am loving organizing the house for the holidays. Everyone is coming home for the first time in several years.
Today I did the tree- not quite done- but I loved having the time to do it slowly and with love.
Thanks for visiting my blog; I am pleased to see your blog and I'll check in regularly.
The scent of bread baking in the oven (gluten free for me).:-)
I'm going to be a baking fiend for the next few days. Sausage balls, turtles, cookies, cinnamon rolls....I feel the pounds a-comin'.
I love being able to decorate my tree for the family in the middle of the day. My kids are grown up, but they still want a tree... love it!
Your appetizers look fabulous! I'm thinking about doing roasted garlic heads, a mix of olives and a hot crab dip for Christmas. Planning special menus is also a wonderful aspect of being a full-time homemaker. :~D
Okay, I'm jealous! I work! :)

But Ingrid, even if you work, you are still a homemaker; you still make a home for your family. You just have to squeeze it in to your day, making it a little more challenging. (But I'm sure I don't have to tell YOU that!)

Those appetizers look yummy! I enjoy my home so much, too, and am thankful for it. Have a good weekend.
Nice easy appetizer - full o flavor. I like it!
I love spending my days the warm, cozy atmosphere of a home rather than a florescent-lighted cold environment. I am surrounded by my family and the comforts of home.

I love my kitchen and I love cooking and I love your blog; very nice!
Just wanting to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2010.
Blessings,

I like "taking care"; I like having the time to dream, to visualize, to actualize. I like planning for our future, even if it's only just to the next meal. To sit cuddled in a blanket on this winter day and look at spring flower catalogues.
Belated Merry Christmas, Lynn!
I hope your Christmas was wonderful!
Just doing a flutter by to wish you the best in 2010. Thank you for sharing your recipes and your insights with us. You've made me smile!
LOL I loved the fireplace comment ;)
