When I was a newlywed, my expectations for myself and my home were very high. See if you identify with any of these expectations I placed on myself:
- I was certain that in order to maintain a good home, I must have matching hand towels, bath towels, and wash clothes
- These all had to be lined neatly in my linen closet and most certainly out for guests.
- If laundry was visible anywhere when people were coming over, or dishes were piled in the sink, then those were signs I was utterly falling behind.
Do I sound like a frustrated perfectionist or a typical Type A personality? Undoubtedly, the answer is yes.
Thirteen years later, I have micro-evolved into a different, subtly less unrealistic and more attainable homemaking mantra.
Why the change?
Life happened.
