I, too, have struggled with 'status/occupation' for the longest time. Between 'housewife' and 'homemaker' though, I'd choose the latter. But I still wish there were other more suitable, all-encompassing label...Oh well. <br /><br />And those items you got! How beautiful!!<br /><br />Amazing post Marie!

Your family trips seem very, let's say, unusual.

In hindsight I shoulda done it, makes for a much better story than saying "no way." Can't believe you got rid of dirty stuff to lug back in the process.Sinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971554811306102478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364449760429050103.post-28301922891214067532012-01-18T03:38:10.074-07:002012-01-18T03:38:10.074-07:00Oh!
