Homemaking Skills

Dinners Ready - Have a dinner swap ... where you make and freeze a meal (4 of them) and switch with 4 other sisters you have 4 new recipes and meals ready to serve your family..also can bake some that night to taste test for a fun get together or a whole dinner.

UFO Day - We held a "UFO Day"... Un-finished Object Day, where the sisters brought their unfinished projects to finish. We had a table set up for each project such as, woodcraft/painting, scrapingbooking, sewing etc. Everyone brought a sack lunch and we provided a nursery. It was great fun and good company, beside getting those unfinished projects done! - Brenda

ABC Homemaking Skills (a version of the 5 minute lesson) - Have each sister sign up to teach a homemaking skill starting with a letter of the alphabet, each lesson should only take 2-3 minutes. This is also a fun way to get more sisters out to enrichment, if they have signed up to do something they are more likely to be there. - Christine Jensen

Back to Basics Night - Teach classes on canning, sewing, crochet, knitting, baking bread without a bread maker, etc.

Get Organized! - Have a class on getting organized. There are lots of ideas on line for getting your house and time organized.

First Aid - Have a doctor, nurse or scout person come teach a basic first aid class. They can show what is necessary in a first aid kit, and some basic survival skills in case of emergency. Be sure to have numbers and addresses where they can go to get certified.

What Works for You - We had a panel of guests who taught "what works for you" topics included FHE etc.. - Naomi

Getting Rid of Clutter in our Lives - We video taped different sisters homes and organizational ideas and used Julie Morgenstern's book.
