The DOMESTIC GODDESS rules again!

OK I used to refer to myself as a DOMESTIC GODDESS! and even put that on applications and forms, DR.s really got a kick out of it, and it is way better than saying "homemaker" or "stay at home mom". Anyway, I have been essentially lying about it for years, because I do virtually nothing domestic, avoiding all things that I consider domestic, cooking, baking, chores, laundry, sewing. but this week, I have made big strides, I have mopped multiple times, vacuumed, done the dishes( which i normally leave for Lance to do), cooked dinner more than once, cleaned the upstairs and down stairs bathrooms thoroughly, dusted, cleaned Liberty's room, cleaned the basement (including mopping). AND the reason for this post, I BAKED! homemade chocolate chip cookies! It was just the recipe from the back of the toll house package, but still, they were heavenly day fantastic! It was 11pm when I started. and i did have some dough, pre chips, Peyton was still up gaming, so he had a large blob of dough himself. and HE was very impressed with my skills! Before I got married, I honed my skills at all things domestic, baking bread, and cookies and layered cakes, I sewed, and crafted. I was really out to prove I could be a great wife. Then, I stopped baking pretty quickly after I got married, Lance wasn't a "cookie person" and wasn't all that thrilled with my efforts so i quit doing that. and then when we had all these kids, they all want to help , and I'm not into them helping me bake, I'm just not nice like that. But they all love to bake, cook, clean, etc. Anyway so that's where my domestic skills were lost. but i have been inspired and decided to bring them back, and to let the kids help, or bake when they are already in bed, like tonight. and I also got stuff to make some homemade jam! Jenny inspired me, and I got all the stuff, I'd do it now, but it's late, so tomorrow. I hope I have the gumption to get on that . So I am feeling quite domestic, we'll see how long it lasts! FYI Cara , I used my Kitchen aid! aren't you proud!?!
and Lance enjoyed the cookies! he has become really domestic over the years and likes to get out his Betty Crocker cook book and make stuff from scratch! so i think now he appreciates the effort. good thing! or no delicious cookies for him!
