Where new homemakers come to grow
Homemaking is like a revolving door. Once you've completed a series of chores, you turn around and even more need doing. It's exhausting. And it can be so discouraging. I currently live alone and just by myself, I can easily find the chores to be overwhelming. I don't make much of a mess and yet there's always something to clean.
