(Yup, that's what I think! ;D<br /><br />This book didn't make me feel guilty at all. Rather, it caused me to think of the "daily grind" in a different way - so that I didn't loathe it, but instead find beauty in it.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-30897636725285278512012-02-05T11:31:48.961-08:002012-02-05T11:31:48.961-08:00Stephanie,

I e-mailed with her and she's from near where I'm from in Iowa. She was widowed in her first marriage (book is Sing Me to Heaven) so I don't think housekeeping reaches the level of "guilt-inducing"- she has bigger fish to fry.Taianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-90326734347903832182012-02-04T11:16:08.122-08:002012-02-04T11:16:08.122-08:00I don't know, Carrie.

One that would tell me not only should I feel guilty for not keeping an immaculate house but now I should feel guilty for not finding pleasure in the housework that I do complete. :)Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-25806898693381883632012-02-04T07:38:34.825-08:002012-02-04T07:38:34.825-08:00Hmmm, this sounds intriguing (certainly more so th...Hmmm, this sounds intriguing (certainly more so than the Hunt book!).

I know it takes longer with little hands, but it really can be a bonding experience. For me, the bonus that my daughters are FAR better about remembering what gets washed on the cold cycle has been great. As we work together on the "fabric of daily life", we find ourselves talking about things from the mundane to the profound. Perhaps this is what "quality time" really means.Diary of an Autodidacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849157548643091986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-15857529705932913322012-01-31T19:01:13.041-08:002012-01-31T19:01:13.041-08:00Thanks for the review, Carrie.
