We were playing at the park and just got back and turned it on. Who spoke on this subject? Was it the main message of the talk?

Interesting that she would use the word "homemaking" at a time when the church appears to be moving away from that term.
So ... is Sister Beck part of the old guard that refuses to die, or is she part of a new effort to revitalize the concept of women doing great work in the home?

A new effort would acknowledge itself as such.

It was the new Relief Society general president, Julie Beck. This was the first time I have heard her speak as Pres, and it wasn't very encouraging. Sure, women do great work in the home, mothers are important, etc... but it's very old and tired, and a step backwards in my opinion.
