Throughout the ages (especially
during the Victorian era) homemaking journals were commonly passed down through
the generations from daughter-to-daughter and often given to daughter-in-laws as
well.
To create a legacy of your home life, buy
a journal designed for the purpose or alternatively use a spiral bound book,
pages inserted into a ring binder or get creative and try your hand at
scrap-booking to create some stunning pages that will allow your unique
personality and creativity to shine through.
What do you put into your homemaking
journal?
Many journals often include:
- Favorite family
recipes.
- Pressed flowers from
the garden.
- Homemaking hints and
tips.
- Family Holiday
Traditions
- Home remedies and first
aid tips in case of emergency.
- Drawings and sketches.
- Daily routines
- A photo of a special
family gathering along with hand written notes.
- Quotes, poems, a verse
from the bible, special words or phrases that inspire love of home and
family.
- Love letters or special
cards.
- Birthdays and
anniversary memories
- Pets and helpful hints
and tips
- Children's party games,
activities, projects and recipes e.g. play dough and other fun stuff
- Gardening tips and
tricks, planting favourites, when to prune and more
. - Seasonal - what to do
before and after each season e.g. storing winter clothes and more,
Or anything that has special meaning and
reflects your love of home and family and what it means to your life.
