housekeeping

that very title of a text my lit kids are doing for their exam next week. interesting definition of what she is. not that she's a housewife no, but she certainly bears all the traits of a perfect wife/mom

exhibit A:

pupcakes for our youngest 'child's' 6th bd

exhibit B:
she rearranged their closets to free up space and dust haha

let's just say they were in states of disarray which we all could easily live with but not my clean-freak wifey. i watched her with a feeling of fascination and shame.

exhibit C:
homemade raisin loaves

and these moments of domesticity warms as much as it fills me with the kind of assurance that i'm in such a good place these days. it's all i need to center myself.

so love
