this piece reminds me of an italian text by clara sereni called “casalinghitudine,” which is a word she coined that roughly translates to the act of being a housewife/the state of housewife-ness. the book is a collection of recipes and her journey towards self-discovery in the kitchen. there’s an english translated version called “keeping house” if you’re interested <3

That is such a refreshing take. I was struggling with the opposite, being a homemaker for a while, not knowing how to deal with the desire to have a career outside this role. You made me realize I can be both things. (Also, why is there so much resentment and anger towards domesticity? I feel almost like I need to justify myself to people when they find out).

I love this. I love how you make baking and any other activity that we do for fun just as important as any professional endeavor. I would love to live in that world, too.
