Home Management

"What a traditional woman did that made her home warm and alive was not dusting and laundry.  Her real secret was that she identified herself with her home.  Her affection was in the soft sofa cushions, clean linens, and good meals; her memory in well-stocked storeroom cabinets and the pantry; her intelligence in the order and healthfulness of her home; her good humor in its light and air.  She lived her life not only through her own body but trough the house as an extension of her body; part of her relation to those she loved was embodied in the physical medium of the home she made....No one is too superior or intelligent to care for hearth and home."  ~Home Comforts, Cheryl Mendleson
