Vacuuming in Pearls: Happy Easter!

What to Expect:

The Meaning Behind "Vacuuming in Pearls"

I'm too young to have watched the old family sitcoms like "Leave it to Beaver," yet still, I have this vivid image of June Cleaver dressed to impress, right down to the high heels and pearls, doing housework. Somewhere between then and now, the image of the housewife has become somewhat tarnished.

Many women (and I'm sure a handful of men as well!) continue to hold to the "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" image of a homemaker: an oppressed woman, forced to tend the demands of her husband and family. A woman without a choice or a true identity of her own.

Times have changed!

The greatest gift the feminist movement has given women in this age, is equality and the right to choose their own path. I, like many modern homemakers, have chosen this life because I find a fulfillment in caring for my home and family that I was unable to obtain out in the business world. I am not "unemployed" or "careerless" this is my career and I am proud to be a wife, a mother, and a homemaker!

And so I have adopted this image of vacuuming in pearls: a symbol of a proud woman who has found her bliss in domestic endeavors and isn't afraid to keep it classy in pearls!
