Domesticality

My parents have never been the parents to put on the pressure about marriage. Always just stating that when it's right it will happen. Maybe that's been the problem: not enough pressure. However, I think my mom is starting to want grand kids, as this year's Christmas felt like a gentle push towards becoming more domestic. Waiting under the tree for me was: a sewing machine, a rolling pin, a kitchen strainer, dish towels, and some pans for making bread. Subtle mom. Very subtle.

Although, it must have worked because this year I finally decided to carry on the holiday tradition of making scones (with the help of the new non-stick rolling pin and lots of calls to my mother) and cook a roast for the first time for New Year's Day.
