Housekeeping or Homemaking?

April 3, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

Housekeeping or Homemaking

Is there a difference between homemaking and housekeeping? Do you differentiate between the two? Ever since I wrote this blog post about homemaking, I’ve been pondering the question. I also asked this question on the Life With Dee Facebook page and received some interesting comments. The general consensus was that there is a difference. We all basically agreed…

Dee, the Domestic Diva

January 16, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

One of my New Orleans friends is fascinated and impressed by the fact that I iron my pillowcases when I wash my sheets each Monday. So much so that she sent me a link for a job: “Domestic Diva Needed for Advice Blog” It also included doing video blogs. She said I’d be perfect for…
