November 2008 was not the best month for me. As the days grew shorter, I grew increasingly dejected. Toward the end of the month, I was diagnosed with a condition that would make conceiving a child incredibly difficult. I faced the prospect of at least two major surgeries to fix what was wrong. In spite [...]

I used to have nightmares about mannequins when I was a little girl. Seriously. They creeped me out. No matter where the dream started, I always ended up running from an army of mannequins, gasping for air as I finally made it to Daddy’s office, tentatively calling out his name, my eyes pinned to the [...]

What is home culture, you ask? Home culture is the atmosphere that is purposefully and intentionally cultivated within the four walls of your home. It is the music when you walk in the door, it is the conversation at the dinner table, it is games played by the fireside, it is the singing when your [...]

“The torment that so many young women know, bound hand and foot by love and motherhood, without having forgotten their former dreams.” ~Simone de Beauvoir Someday, I would like to get married to a man who I can follow to the ends of the earth as he follows full-heartedly after Christ. Someday, I would like [...]

She was busy running the women’s ministry at church. She would rush home and get ready for her MOPS meeting and then later in the day she knew she would somehow try to fit in the desperately needed shopping trip to host the monthly bible study in her home. She also had to run Johnny [...]

Photo of a flower from the beautiful bouquet that my sweet friend (thank you Susan!) brought last week. Now the bouquet is hanging on my living room wall to dry. I will think of her friendship each time I see it. Flowers are a great way to bless someone. Simple, frugal ideas to make your [...]

There is a homeless man who lives in our town… well, at least I think he’s homeless. Most people say that he is. Although someone told me he has an attic room somewhere on the east side of town, and that may be true. Someone else who knows someone who works in the bank says [...]

“I want you to share your food with the hungry and bring right into your own homes those who are helpless, poor and destitute. Clothe those who are cold and don’t hide from relatives who need your help.

Here are some things that a wife and mother can do to add much beauty to her home without spending money. While many things listed may seem small or quite trivial, the beauty they can add turns out to be quite much.

Sometimes life gives you lemons, and, being a homemaker, you make lemonade. Sometimes life gives you pink flowers, and you arrange them in a vase… and sometimes life gives you cookie crumbs and peanut butter smears, and the only thing you can do is wipe them up and love the ones who have left them [...]

Perhaps the greatest peace, the most overwhelming joy came to me shortly after I came home from my job as a school teacher to be with my children. I remember inhaling the sheer span of time in my morning, giddy over the fact that I didn’t have to snap, “Hurry up” or some other time-induced [...]

I think we all come to that point at one time or another in our “stay-at-home” journey. When we first decided to shift our focus, to turn our hearts towards home, we were enthusiastic and vibrant, purposeful and driven, meticulous and focused, bright eyed and bushy tailed. We had a grasp of the bigger picture: [...]

There will be times that you cannot show hospitality in your own home. If you are recovering from illness, for example, it would not be wise to invite people to dinner. If you do not have adequate living facilities or have temporary upheavals in your house or your life, you will not be able to [...]
