The Pampered Homemaker October 2017 Issue 1 | Page 2

To My Readers: Thank you so much for taking interest in The Pampered Homemaker magazine! Homemakers these days are not your typical housewives that primarily stay home to tend to the family. No, homemakers according to us, can work outside the home or stay home with the children. We think of homemakers as the primary decision maker for the family. Our homemakers are not limited to a certain family dynamic anymore. We recognize there are more than nuclear families these days. Also it is very typical to have a large age gap between siblings for various reasons. Our magazine is doing our very best to ensure every family has resources that are available to them. This magazine accompanies my blog, www.thepamperedhomemaker.com and has just as many helpful and useful articles to assist you in improving the quality of your family’s life. The blog is designed to help with staying on track for weekly goals that you have set in addition to ways to manage a busy schedule with work, kid’s activities, doctor appointments and so on. One does not need to earn a high salary nor necessary own an expensive home to give their family the very best. Simple things such as creating a home environment to where your children feel safe and loved, down to preparing healthy meals that do not take too much preparation. We speak a lot on being prepared for just about any situation, especially with having children. Life seems to go so much better when we prepare for most scenarios that come. Aside from preparing for the daily needs of children, homemakers must know how to keep themselves at 100% so they may be emotionally and physically available for their families. I personally do not believe in neglecting one self for the sake of the family. How can one take care of their family if they are barely hanging on? Life happens and homemakers should have strategies set in place to assist in the struggles that come along with taking care of the home. You have just purchased our very first issue and hope that the articles that have been written will help you in various areas of your lives.
