I've felt inspired by some of her original thoughts on womanhood and housekeeping, and chagrined at some of the things other ideas set in motion. But you said it so much better than I was formulating. :)<BR/><BR/>Also had a conversation not too long ago with my MIL in which she expressed the disappointment that the decision to stay at home was so ridiculed and thought to be less, when there really are so many capable, educated, talented women who have not decided to stay home by default, or because they couldn't do something in "the real world", but by conscious and careful choice, because there was a whole world that they feel needs their personal expertise. And wasn't that what women were fighting for: the right to do what they choose?<BR/><BR/>Beautifully written, especially for a cookie-maker;). I think I will have to come back and reread several more times, to catch it all.Code Yellow Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283426654179102400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21512526.post-21220824462148909052009-03-19T20:46:00.000-05:002009-03-19T20:46:00.000-05:00Well hey, since my name IS Donna, maybe all I need...Well hey, since my name IS Donna, maybe all I need is an apron ;-) <BR/><BR/>Good thoughts.
