Amateur Homemaker's Mission

Purpose:

My purpose in writing this blog is not to convince others (or myself) that I am indeed a homemaker, but rather, my purpose is to use the blog as a tool to improve my homemaking skills. Sure, I can soldier through life simply meeting my family's daily needs and see what happens. But I've never really been a "see-what-happens" type of gal, and I don't intend to be that type of homemaker. I thrive when I set goals and have accountability. I have no false notions of rising to the elite level of professional homemaker, but that does not mean that I cannot strive to become a better homemaker.

Problem:

So, how can this blog be used as a tool to become a better homemaker? Well, I could merely diary my daily tasks as I try to be quicker and more efficient at them. Perhaps, my daily struggles or successes could provide some amusement to me or to my one follower. (thanks, mom) But I have a bigger vision.

Vision:

We (my one "follower" and I) will choose topics related to homemaking and set a time frame in which I will address the topic. Then, the fun begins. Within that time frame, it will be my goal to research, study, implement, and report strategies related to the topic. At the end of the time frame, I will give an honest evaluation of my improvement.

Conclusion:

My ultimate goal is simply to improve. However, I'm hoping by focusing my effort on one topic at a time that I will be able to compile useful and truly helpful information to any other amateur homemakers that happen to stumble across this blog. (Mom, you don't count. You have always been a professional)
