Homemaking
is More Than Housekeeping
“Homemaking, as I view it, falls into two major divisions:
homemaking and housekeeping. Homemaking takes into account the
spiritual values:
love, peace, tranquility, harmony among family

orderly, and well managed.”
(Belle S. Spafford, A Woman’s Reach [Salt Lake City:
Deseret Book Co., 1974], pp. 24–25).
