*whining warning!*
:[ I suck! I DO! I really really do!
I dream of being this domestic goddess, doing homely things with no effort. Or at least to be some sort of an apprentice to The Domestic Goddess...! I love decorating and good food and freshly baked bread... I'd love to be able to do beautiful things with our garden and having a beautiful home would
(I imagine) give me great pleasure and a sense of pride.
BUT...!
I suck at any of these homely things I try and do! I can't bake, I can cook just enough to get us by. My attempts at sewing ends up being rubbish! (cause of this rant!) My gardening skills are enough to mow the lawn about half of the time it's "required" to be done...! :(
In my head I've got these great ideas and if my purse would allow me to sit and order people about we'd live in this gorgeous "country cottage"-style house with a lovely, purposely wild grown, garden.
But...! Since we don't have money growing of our badly managed trees in the garden I instead have bland, boring home and a sad looking garden which I'd rather not have to deal with, which shows since most of the time it's a right mess too!!

You and me both, hon!
Let me share what I've learned about being a Domestic Goddess: all of those glossy magazine images of the "perfect" home complete with gourmet meals, meticulous homes, etc is just that: an image.
And your kids wouldn't be any better for them. They don't care if your garden has more weeds than veggies, they don't care if you cannot sew a straight line, heck, they don't care if your baked bread turns out lopsided.
All they care about is YOU, all they will remember is how much you love them.
So don't beat yourself up for being "perfect", fully embrace and love Perfect You!
Aww...Thanks luv! *teary eyed*
