What activities do you lose yourself in?

Hello everyone 👋🏾

I was told idle hands create mischief. I was always one who liked to make things that I could use or give as gifts as a child.

So when my mother, aunt, and grandmother would make anything, I wanted to learn from them too. This is why I do different things. Each one did different things that they favored. Each one had to learn to make what they could, for it was cheaper to do so.

The reason why one would go to the store to buy anything was from convenience. One didn’t have time to make it if you were a working mother. Or even single when I was growing up

The food from the grocery was bought and reheated up for the family, and the mom and dad shared responsibilities.

The knowledge of making clothes and repairs to the home and vehicles are lost in the generation “Z” for the most part. Let’s not forget cooking, growing food, and preserving food. All I have had to learn, too.

The vehicle repair I know a bit. But my husband does it all for the most part.😄

Canning food I had to learn from watching YouTube channels like “Homestead heart.” She was raised up learning to can her food.

When you learn something new that you can help yourself and your family that can save money  or make money, it feels good. 🙂.

Peace and blessings ❤️
