Golly gee whiz!  — 1 year ago

I think I can call this goal (mostly) complete! Although I’m nowhere near as attentive with the cooking or the cleaning as a true ‘50s domestic goddess, I’m a lot closer than I was before. I’ve been baking a lot more—even made two dozen cupcakes this morning for a Halloween party I was attending. Yeah, the mix was from a box, but I think any domestic goddess would agree that it’s perfectly acceptable to make shortcuts where necessary. It allows more time to attend to other household chores!

Attached is a photo of me dressed up for Halloween, as-you guessed it-a domestic goddess.

P.S. Thanks, paperfaerie, for coming up with this goal! It’s been so much fun!

I'm so proud  — 1 year ago

Today I made meatloaf, with a side of mashed potatoes, sweet corn, and sliced French bread. It doesn’t get much more ‘50s domestic goddess than meatloaf… except maybe tuna casserole (which I also make from time to time).

Fellow domestic goddesses in training: I found these handy dandy instructions for making your very own retro apron.

Fabulous!  — 2 years ago

Spent (almost) the whole day doing spring-cleaning! I managed to fill an entire garbage bag with stuff to donate to Goodwill, and also managed to break down and recycle about a dozen boxes that were just taking up space. I’ve been doing much better on the cooking front as well. I made fried rice for dinner the other night (not a typical ‘50s domestic goddess meal, but whatever!) and for breakfast I made French toast.

While on a google quest for aprons, I stumbled upon this article with handy-dandy domestic goddess tips.

Domestic goddess in training  — 2 years ago

I’m on my way to becoming a domestic goddess. I baked unbelievably tasty muffins (from scratch!) today. The smoke alarm only went off twice in the process, but it’s certainly not the fault of this domestic goddess that her apartment’s smoke detector is placed so damn close to the oven. (Do domestic goddesses say damn? Well, this one does.) Oh, and I even wore a skirt while I was baking. Yup, this girl is well on her way to becoming a true domestic goddess.
