I entered marriage with limited housekeeping skills. I could make macaroni and cheese from scratch, chocolate chip cookies, and hard boiled eggs. I had not been taught anything about the finances except “make lots of money.” I was 21 and had been taught how to be “smart” academically, but I felt stupid in my own home…(read the rest at Far Above Rubies).
The Defining Question (my guest post at Far Above Rubies)

Great post, Jill! NO ONE, knowing you today, would ever know that you were a home- making illiterate when you were first married. As Doug now calls you, “Suzie Substitution”….you can make anything out of almost nothing! ha ha!! You’ve come a looooonnng way, baby!!! Glory to God! I love you, my friend
Oh, have no fear, I definitely have my areas of total incompetency! And Doug is still a far better cook than I am.
You, however, as a single woman, ran circles around me. Remember when you came over to help me clean my house and stunned me by doing it so quickly? Connie-the-white-tornado taught me a thing or two!
Be blessed today, my friend!
Jill
