Are our homes ever cleaner than that minute when company walks in the door? This shows us that putting up a good front is nothing new, but sadly, everyone else gets more special attention than our own families. “Mr. Smythe will be here tonight, Kiddies, and we want to look real nice.

I recently watched a YouTube video on frugal living. In the video, someone asked if gardening and canning was a good money-saving option. The woman recommended that people have a garden only if they enjoyed maintaining one as a hobby, because it wouldn’t necessarily save any money. I was surprised. Isn’t having a garden classic …

  • It's July, but Juneberry season just started for me. It's perfect timing, since we finished our last jar of juneberry jam last week. I use a jam recipe from 1924, which you can find on my blog.

  • Happiness is in the middle of making breakfast you realized you just created a still life with the most perfectly ripe avocado. It should be painted but I'll settle for a photo... . . . . #ahousewifewrites #tradwife #tradwifelife #aproncladarmy #traditionalkitchen #simplelifepleasures #realfoodie #avocadolife #breakfastlover #oldfashionedlife
  • A few flea market finds...a beautiful vintage enamelware pan set (for $5!?!), Mrs. Appleyard's Year, a 1941 book that caught my eye. It turned out to be an entertaining story about a homemaker and her family. I'd never heard of this author before but she's a great writer. I need to find the rest of her books now! And finally, a book of homemaking advice, a la 1973. . . . . #enamelware #vintageenamelware #myvintagelife #homemaking #fleamarketbargains #aproncladarmy #housewifelife #oldfashionedlife #vintage #vintagekitchen #oldbooks #1941 #1973 #ahousewifewrites #laurieaaronhird
  • I wanted a collection of souvenirs of my travels, but didn't want to accumulate more stuff. So I made this quilt out of scrap denim and 16 years later, I'm still adding patches from my most recent adventure. It's one of my favorite things, and so practical. . . . . . #homemadequilt #scrapquilt #denimquilt #ahousewifelife #homemadelife #ahousewifewrites #laurieaaronhird #aproncladarmy #traditionalwife #wastenotwantnot #slowdown #memoryquilt #homemadeisbest #nationalparks #nationalparkquilt #ilovenationalparks
