Weeks ago I was asked to be a "guest speaker" or guest lesson giver- today in Young Women's.
Young Women's is where young women (12-18) meet on Sunday, after Sunday school to learn about the gospel.
My subject was one of my favorite things:
Homemaking.
Some of the topics we covered were:
- HOmemaking & housekeeping are different, HOw?
- Every person is a HOmemaker, whether they know it or not!
- Our attitude is key to how we do in this position.
- Why is it a good feeling to be in a clean home?
- How does Homemaking add to the spiritual atmosphere of a home?
Quote: "When mothers know who they are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have great power and influence for good on their children"
( Julie B. Beck October General Conference Saturday afternoon session talk- Mother's Who Know.)
The main idea today was:
Young Women who "know" want to be Homemakers!
YW who know realize that being an excellent homemaker is a choice & something to be proud of. We can be & do anything we want-HOORAY- but no success is more important than success in the home.
Imagine my delight when I woke up from my Sunday nap to these!!Chloe had made strawberry cupcakes with lemonade icing-
OH MY GOODNESS-
delightful. yummy. surprise
-Today I feel like I am doing something right-
although it is a great feeling (I've had it before) it's usually fleeting and
typically is followed by intense moments of humiliation.
(I'm joking here people)
For now-
I'M LOVIN' IT
*how was your Sunday?

Wow love the cupcakes! I'm glad your lesson went well...but I don't like the word Homemaker...I prefer...Domestic Godess
Whitney told me all about the lesson today. She sat on my bedroom floor until 12am talking about things. She told me how one thing from your lesson totally changed how she felt about herself. It was an amazing breakthrough for her. Thank you for teaching my daughter this beautiful lesson. I will share with you in privet the details someday, but just know you have touched someone and from one mother to another thank you!
I'm so glad your lesson went well. You're a great homemaker. Do you want to fly Chloe to come see me? I wouldn't mind having someone making me gorgeous cupcakes!
I am sure this lesson was amazing... I Wish I could of snuck into the back of the room and heard it...I should of;)
