Keeping a Homemaking Journal
by Jill Black
Description: Ideas for creating a homemaking journal to pass down to your daughter or daughter-in-law.
Throughout the ages (especially during the Victorian era)
homemaking journals were commonly passed down through the
generations from daughter-to-daughter and often given to
daughter-in-laws as well.
To create a legacy of your home life, buy a journal designed
for the purpose or alternatively use a spiral bound book,
pages inserted into a ring binder or get creative and try
your hand at scrap-booking to create some stunning pages that
will allow your unique personality and creativity to shine
through.
What do you put into your homemaking journal?
Many journals often include:
- Favorite family recipes
- Pressed flowers from the garden
- Homemaking hints and tips
- Family holiday traditions
- Home remedies and first aid tips in case of emergency
- Drawings and sketches
- Daily routines
- A photo of a special family gathering along with hand
written notes
- Quotes, poems, a verse from the bible, special words or
phrases that inspire love of home and family
- Love letters or special cards
- Birthdays and anniversary memories
- Pets and helpful hints and tips
- Children's party games, activities, projects and recipes
e.g. play dough and other fun stuff
- Gardening tips and tricks, planting favourites, when to
prune and more

storing winter clothes and more,
Or anything that has special meaning and reflects your love
