What garden plants can be used as poison

This is a completely valid point! Aprons are far more utilitarian than they are given credit for, and too many people see the apron as some frilly little accessory because homemakers happened to appreciate their usefulness and worth.  I wish you all the best in your apron-using endeavors!!

can we eliminate the association of aprons with housewives? i own an apron and i live in it. i'm not the stay-at-home-mom type. i'm not the one who'd look after the kids and cook and clean all day. but i made this apron myself, and whenever i'm doing anything remotely messy, i wear it. doing dishes? apron. making banana bread? apron. painting, whether watercolor or acrylic? apron. using glue for anything? apron. repotting my succulents? apron. they're so useful. it's ridiculous. my dad called me 'little suzy homemaker' yesterday. i literally do not give a shit. this is a nice shirt and i will not ruin it with cake batter, karen

my dad’s grandparents used to make all their grandkids turn off all the lights and he completely silent during thunderstorms and dad thought it was because they had some strange superstition around thunderstorms but it was actually because my great grandparents liked to watch/listen to them in peace.

Wanting a man to provide for you doesn’t mean you’re incapable. Of course you’re capable. But it’s nice to have someone help you and take of you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do those things yourself. That just means someone loves you enough to make your life that bit easier <3

FUCK OFF IF YOUR BLOG IS 18+ I’M SICK OF IT

If my femininity within the context of my own life threatens you to the point that you feel the need to attack my life choices, maybe you need to reevaluate why you feel so threatened by traditional feminity. Because it’s not like I’m asking you to live the same way I do.

I’m just asking for the same freedom you want, to live in a way that makes me happy.
