I recently cracked open The Art of Homemaking<\/em> by Daryl V. Hoole, and while I don\u2019t long for a total time-travel back to the 1950s, I do try to adapt wisdom and advice from the past to my life. The book describes that an ideal homemaker should be \u201clovely to look at and lovely to be around; she has a wholesome attitude and a pleasing appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, pause \u2014 I rolled my eyes too at first. But here\u2019s the thing: you don\u2019t have to adopt vintage rules at face value. You adjust them to work for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I don\u2019t vibe with vintage homemaking advice coming from a place of pushing a message of \u201cyou have to be ____.\u201d I still try to take vintage advice and adjust it to my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u203c\ufe0fMy rule of thumb is: I should never do anything in my homemaking to try to \u201cearn\u201d love or approval from my family or society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead I\u2019m trying to use my homemaking to nurture and heal myself, and find joy in the day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019d like to do that too, here\u2019s my hacks for this “rule”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
