3 Ashleys - that was interesting!

The brunch/meeting started promptly at 11am with Breakfast Pizza, Lemon Berry Trifle, Friendship Bread, Chips and Salsa and Tea & Coffee.

Kerri and Brooke explained their ideas behind Domestic Goddess, and the vision for what it could be, discussing membership rewards, dues, activities and when meetings would be – twice a month, theme lasting 2 months.

The first theme is Cooking and Entertaining.

Everyone took a quiz called "What kind of Entertainer are you?" which answered whether you are "Fancy Nancy" "Casual Caroline" or "Potluck Penny."

Homework before the next meeting: Go to your local Farmer's Market.

At the beginning of the meeting we asked everyone to write the answer to this question of the day:
In your opinion: What is the best and worst part of being a woman?

Best: when youre upset and your best friend knows just what to say to make you feel better and not suicidal

Worst: I hate how women can be so mean with each other

Best : Some times there are things "we" can get away with, simply because we’re women.

Worst: Some people think there are things “we” can’t do

Best: Motherhood, having the gift to bring a child into the world

Worst: hormones raging, up and down emotions

Best: My favorite thing about being a woman is fashion. Clothes, purses, shoes, I love it all!

Worst: Least favorite thing about about being woman: over-emotional, and over-analyzing everything

Best: Being able to experience motherhood, pregnancy and being a mother

Worst: Period! One day a month I can deal with.

Introducing The Domestic Goddess

Introducing Lakeland's newest social organization leading the "Womanist Movement."


We have become a generation of lost and unhappy women, having forgotten what our basic nature is - to create, to nurture, and to rule our kingdom, the home.

The Domestic Goddess is Reinventing
the Lost Arts of Womanhood


The Domestic Goddess is taking a modern and innovative slant on women’s daily tasks and making them a breeze for even the busiest women.

  • Cooking/Baking
  • Entertaining
  • Sewing
  • Repairing
  • Organizing
  • Jewelry
  • Gardening
  • Interior Design
  • Crafting/Creating
  • Recycling
  • Relationships
  • Motherhood
  • Faith
  • Business
  • Photography
  • Finances
  • Volunteering
  • Style
  • Manners
  • Family Traditions


The "Womanist Movement" refuses to buy the lie that it's not ok to be a WOMAN, The lie that a generation of women have perpetuated. We REFUSE to accept that we are defined by our physical beauty rather than our character and abilities. We believe in getting back to the basics of what made womankind great.

We stand against the pettiness and insecurity by fostering a safe environment for women to feel free to be themselves. Married, Engaged, or Single; Career, Homemaker or Retired; We can all find our place as women of substance and good nature.

With a strong sense of community and integrity, we speak out on behalf of those who are proud to be women and enjoy life!

In today's society many have given up trying to be feminine and all that being a woman entails. It's a man's world, right? Why not act like a man.... We say No WAY! 

The Domestic Goddess strives to help women discover their own unique roles as a sister, a mother, a daughter, a wife, and a friend.

If you feel the same way we do, please join us! 18+ please
