When doing so, it is unto God and not man.... Also, to be fair, I know many men who don't help with the cleaning or taking down of curtains and so forth -- just as I know many women who wouldn't change the oil in their cars or replace the filters. Please don't lose heart... He may appreciate your efforts more than you or even he even realize. Perhaps this is his way of getting some attention from his lovely wife. I know that sometimes we can run around all in a huff to get "things" done and meanwhile our hubby's may feel that the house is more important than spending time with them... If you keep a balance of your work and time with your husband, you will be fulfilling your God-given role as the helpmeet just beautifully. I hope this helps a bit!

Growing up His Mother did not keep a tidy Home....I remember the first time I went to Her House, dirty laundry was piled up in the bathroom floor so bad, I could barely use her facility.....I was not raised this way at all.....I Love to Cook, Clean & Keep the inside & outside neat & clean.......It does not have to be immaculate, but clean....He does not seem to care & does not help at all, not even in taking the curtains down in the Spring for cleaning......Do I just give up? I can hardly stand the thought of it......Is it allright to keep cleaning , even if I have to clean around Him? I need Help & Motivation to be the Woman called me to be........Please Help!!<br />Deborah Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305359919222408515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-87013866476955202362017-04-07T13:35:16.483-05:002017-04-07T13:35:16.483-05:00Yes, those sinks are amazing, aren't they??

Everyone commenting on the stools brought that back but I am not sure what she did with it! I am going to have to consult my mother on that one... I would assume they kept it under the sink area when not in use... How interesting that 100 years later and we can't imagine needing one in our kitchens! :)JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-76217605054734125382017-03-30T13:11:10.112-05:002017-03-30T13:11:10.112-05:00They are all lovely, but I really like the nineth ...They are all lovely, but I really like the nineth one. With its green and cream colors. And that stove...love it! <br /><br />This weekend, hubby and I will be putting tongue and groove boards half way up my walls. It will protect my walls from little boys and it will give my red kitchen a country feel. I deep cleaned my kitchen last week and moved some things around that were more functional for me. It looks way better.<br />I think its time to hang my spring curtains up and spruce up my fake flowers on top of my cabinets. I just love a clean and tidy kitchen.<br />Loved your post!
