Some of you many not know that this blog is actually an experiment in preparation for a blog I plan to launch later this year. I’m using it to try out things like WordPress plugins, Google analytics, and various methods of formatting posts, etc. before I launch my “for profit” blog later this year.

I’ve registered the domain demetershearth.com and plan to offer my own brand of information and advice on homekeeping, cooking, shopping, and general life management. It will focus on doing these tasks with joy and intention, and viewing them as life-enriching rather than burdensome.

I will not be posting a lot of “you should feel guilty if you’re not doing this” or “be warned about the dangers of that.” My blog will be all about embracing the things that make sense in one’s life and not worrying about the rest. In my opinion, our society deals out way too much guilt and fear as it is. I’m thinking about subtitling it “the anti-Good Housekeeping.” (If you’ve read a women’s magazine lately, you know what I’m talking about!)

I’d love to hear comments in this space about what you all think about this idea.
