A HOUSEWIFE RESTORES ORDER:

A home functions at its best when there is order, and it is up to a housewife to create order every day and also restore order when life goes out of whack. 

Housework, and keeping a home clean and orderly, is always important, but it becomes vital after an unexpected event shakes up a household. 

When a housewife brings order to a home day in and day out, it becomes second nature for her; and when it comes to restoring order, she doesn’t shy away from tackling housework tasks with gusto, because she knows the joy of living in an orderly home, and she wants to give that gift to the people she loves.
