I’d say that you are “on hiatus from Marketing” because you are a mother, wife, homemaker, housekeeper, etc. whether you are ALSO working outside the home or not.

I leave the “homemaking” for carpenters and plumbers and electricians and such. I appreciate the confidence, but seriously, make a home? No way could I do that! (hehe)

And Stay at home mom? Please! How many moms really STAY home? More like work in, out and around the home mom.

We need to make up some awesome word that stops people in their tracks – and shuts them up so they don’t go “Oh, a homemaker”. Hmmm…..

When do you make Ebelskivers? I want some! Also, I am proud of everything you do! Especially when it involves decorating your house for Christmas.

So true - I hate it when people say homemaker. I try to not define who I am but describe some of the things that I do - I stay home, I write, I exercise, I run, I go to a book club and so on. Not an easy transition - thank goodness for blogs! Anita Dobermans last blog post..It’s official: my daughter Livia is obese

I hate that label too. I always tell people I'm a retired lawyer, which is true, but of course my tax return says homemaker. I'm more like a mama/referee/lunchmaker/boobookisser/awesome person. Apparently that doesn't fit the box on my tax return. Hugs. Kristins last blog post..Christmas Music and Holiday Hearts

I wrote a post a lot like this after I lost my job. Like you, I'm also still not sure what my definition is. It's funny how much your job adds to who you are though. It's just what you do so you'd think it shouldn't matter that much, but it does. Good luck with your definition. Joannas last blog post..Gratitude, Day 30

The journey is so much more fun than the destination. If you already "knew" you, what fun would the next 50 years be? Homemaker? WTH - was the survey about whether you would rather be a) barefoot and pregnant? or b) chained to the stove?

Homemaker? Is it 1962 in that lady's head? You don't have to be one thing. You are many things! Kristabellas last blog post..Happy Baconsgiving!

Ditto to Dana’s comment (except that I had to google what an Ebelskiver maker was – now that I know, I’m excited about this)…and, we could keep adding adjectives if you’d like. But, regardless of your definition, you’re one of the most amazing people I know. Love you forever.
