I originally was looking at 'mothering with intention', but I felt that it left out one very important person- my husband ! My primary, day in day out 'job' is a mom, but I am so much more then that. I am a wife to my husband and I run our home. So, hence 'Homemaking with intention!' When I think about the word 'homemaker' it seems so old fashioned. But, lets look at the definition.
