Needed to read this. Struggling in this new season of motherhood and prepping for wife hood. It’s easy to get discouraged, and I’m seeking mentorship from a godly woman to progress in this
This touched me to my core. What a privilege it was to be able to stay home and raise my children. To be able to focus on making meals, keeping an organized household and to create an environment of rest and safety for my family. What a wonderful reminder for us all of what is important yet sometimes looked down upon ❤️
I only wish Laura had a Substack so I could more easily see her writing because reading this brought me so much joy. What's the point of More of anything, when the laughter of little souls can be so easy to attain with a presence and poise that many nowadays decry as privilege, but I will attribute to an understated, saintly effort and frame of mind. No baby is born into this world alone, and while the tilling of the soil to build a real Home is laborious, the harvest of warmth, love, belonging... when is it not worth it? When is a little hug and 'i love you' not worth it?
It doesn't have to be either/or. It can be both/and. My mentors and teachers are doing just that. And there are income earning endeavors "outside the home" that women are better suited to than men.
Carly Rae (carlyrae.ca) teaches me about my female anatomy, how to listen to my womb and how to physically massage my fascial tissue to release tension so my uterus can realign. A man could not.
Adelaide Biggs (faithinthebody.com) teaches me how to work out and move my body in a way designed for my female physiology, using cues that involve which way my clitoris and nipple line are pointing, to strengthen my body for actions of daily living, like holding children on my body all day. She also helps women heal prolapse, pubic symphysis pain, and incontinence among other women specific issues. A man could not.
Dana Dozzyy (danadozzyy.com) teaches me how to understand, work with and support my female nervous system throughout my cycle, and heal in a way that therapy never touched. A man could not.
Nicole Parker (@theseedofjoy_ on IG) is a homeschooling single mother of 4 boys who runs her own business mentoring other mother and is raising the most emotionally intelligent children I have ever seen. Boys who say things like, "When my wife has a baby, I'm going to make her bone broth for her postpartum time and keep the house quiet so she can rest." A man could not.
Have you read The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer? It is a wonderful book about seeing beauty in what is considered the mundane. I loved it so much! And like some of the other commenters, I also consider myself fortunate to have stayed home to raise (and homeschool) my kids until they left for college/workforce. It was truly a privilege and blessing, even if it meant living below our means and driving ugly cars, lol! I would do it all again!
