Keeping a Homemaking Journal


By Jill Black

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:

- Favourite 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
