Retro Homemaking

Last week, I was in charge of our Relief Society Activity.  The theme was Retro Homemaking.  We asked the sisters to don their aprons and their pearls and to come for an evening celebrating homemaking.  There was so much that went into the activity.  There were team challenges (folding a bed sheet, setting a table), discussion questions and presentations (how to make freezer jam, laundry tips and home schedules). 

I did the presentation on freezer jam and was shocked at how many people didn't know how easy it was.  Freezer jam is pretty much the easiest and best thing in the world.  I can't ever go back to store bought jam.   

I was happy that it all came together.  It was a group effort to make it all happen.  I've stolen a few pictures from Amber Meadows to show you what it was like because the one thing I forgot was my camera. 

 Best part of the evening was the homemade ice cream with the fresh strawberry jam.  So good!

It was a fun activity and there were positive responses from the sisters.  I must say though, I think I need a break now.
