Comments on: The Promised Letter to Your Husbands about Why They Should Buy You a Grain Mill

It worked, it really worked!

I’ve been making all our bread products for a few months, and I constantly underestimate how much flour we go through. I was saving my gift money for a grain mill. I had my husband read this letter to try to communicate to him why I wanted one.

Well, we were saving our Christmas money for our own gift exchange for a new desk, but low and behold I opened up a NutriMill this morning!

There are 2 really great things about this: I am planning on a trip to the Amish bulk foods store in a week! And, my husband told me that even though he doesn’t understand or totally agree with how I’m changing our food to all real foods, he really appreciates what I’m doing for the family. Isn’t that sweet? (Especially alongside a new grain mill???)

Just another Thank You from me! My hubby called this morning from work and gave me the ok, so my Nutrimill is on it’s way to me from paulasbread! Hooray!

Hi, Laura. I think this worked. My husband got a big kick out of your letter and he wanted to know how much this “love” appliance cost. He is very open to us purchasing one, not sure yet when, but I did find the Nutrimill on sale at several places for $239 – free shipping and depending on the state you live in, you will most likely not have to pay taxes. That sounds like a very good deal if you ask me. I can’t wait to get this. I love feeling “domesticated” and this is over the top. I love it. Thanks for sharing!

So funny Laura! Now you MUST share if your husband actually gets any questions in his email inbox. :)

You’re Genious. I loved the post. Thankfully, my dh understood my desire for a grain mill. My dad even did. He agreed to split the cost with me if i would just make him bread occasionally. And i even got my mom to understand the need. My parents have blessed us with an early christmas present. and i must say i love my grain mill :-)

You are a RIOT!!! Someday maybe I’ll get a grain mill, but probably not until I have more space. But, I will definitely remember this letter for when I need reinforcements!!

Dear Laura,

I adore your blog on a daily basis, but today it is just perfect, and so funny. My husband will definitely get a kick out of this. Whenever I tell him some factoid from your blog, I always have to refer to you as, “You know, the lady with the four boys, who always has those good recipes?” You’re practically on a first name basis. :) Thank you for the letter!
