Eat it up, wear it out,
make it do, or do without.

Marmee From "Little Woman":

"Don't you feel that it is pleasanter to help one another, to have daily duties which make leisure sweet when it comes, and to bear and forbear, that home may be comfortable and lovely to us all?"

Wash Day by Michael Bingham (I love this painting)

from Little House in the Big Woods:

"Each day had its own proper work. Ma used to say:

"Wash on Monday,

Iron on Tuesday,

Mend on Wednesday,

Churn on Thursday,

Clean on Friday,

Bake on Saturday,

Rest on Sunday."

Laura liked the churning and the baking days best of all"
