My parents passed through Utah on their way home from my sister Jessalyn's this last weekend, and as is tradition me and Mom shopped the local Deseret Industries. It is a habit of mine to always, always, always check the book section for yet another copy of Fascinating Womanhood. I will find a copy every few months and on rare occasion, as was this, I find a hardback version. As I was standing in front of the books showing my mother, she picked up a book that she recognized from years earlier named The Art of Homemaking. I recognized the title and thought it would be a fun read.
After my parents left I picked the book up and poured over the pages. I was hooked. I just love the old fashioned and CORRECT way of thinking. I love the way they just state the simple truth with no concern over "political correctness" and NO apologies. I feel a little silly that it has taken printed pages to teach me things that I should already know, and in a way I do know. However, this book has changed my attitude towards house work and given me a new motivation for my job as wife and homemaker.
I am indebted to my grandmother for introducing me to Fascinating Womanhood, a book that changed my world forever. Now I have found a new "printed treasure" that is changing my world all over again. I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father that knows what the next step is for me and gives me such beautiful and simple maps to follow. I will now have another book to look for at Deseret Industries, so if you want one let me know!
