CALL THE MIDWIFE WHO? That's right, in this video I dive into the history of motherhood and experience what it was like to follow a first-time mother's daily routine from the 1930s! From early mornings to feeding schedules to chores, I recreate the steps, practices, and lifestyle that women during the Great Depression relied on to manage their homes and care for their families. Join me, in the spirit of Mother's Day approaching, as I discover how much has changed (or stayed the same!) over the years and reflect on the challenges and joys of motherhood during this unique time in history.
