Householders with Dirty Faces

I've been starting up this householding gig because I thought I was pretty good at what I do. I enjoy sharing and teaching and talking householding. So I said to my husband, "I'm going to start a blog, and I'd like to teach classes." He agreed that was a good idea, and said, "where are you going to teach them?" "Why, here, at the house," I replied. Then he said, "well, don't you think you ought to do them in a classroom or something? I mean, the yard looks a bit unkempt. . ." and he went off to work.
Later in the day it hit me. HE THINKS THE HOUSE IS A MESS! So I texted him on the phone: "What you said this morning just sunk in". He called me back and said, no, he didn't mean it that way, he thinks I'm doing a great job, but really if someone is going to take a class, what would they think of a householder with grotty floors or who has a box of frosted shredded wheat on the shelf. I'm paraphrasing here--he's a PR specialist, so it sounded a lot more soothing. But that made me think about what constitutes real-life householding. This is a full-steam ahead working household. It isn't perfect, it's evolving. It isn't static, it's ever changing. I don't know-it-all, I'm learning, too. I thought it would be best to have a class in a house that says, "hey, this is the real world! That stuff on the TV? Those glossy photos? That's the product of a staff of stylists." Life changes so fast, how can we best utilize what we have for the best life experience possible? And, more importantly, how will our children learn and benefit? What can we do to make it better for ourselves, our families, our communities, our world?
