Humbly I bow before You Father On my bended knees I pray. Matters of my heart are many, I have so much to say. Encouragement my sister she needs, Keeping her home with a family she feeds. Embracing the changes occurring in her life, Everyday she’s serving as a mother and trying to be a [...]

‘They couldn’t believe it when I told them I have chosen to be a full-time mother,’ says the 27-year-old, who lives in South-West London with her husband Richard, 30, a teacher, and her children George, four, and Verity, two. ‘I could tell from their reaction that they couldn’t help assuming I must be bored stiff [...]

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 [...]

I had an interesting conversation with someone. During this conversation, I was told that it seems like I had it all together. My life seems like it’s perfect. This person wasn’t being mean, but I had to chuckle a bit. I don’t have it all together. The perfect life happens sometimes when I’m asleep at [...]

After reading and discussion in real life as well as online, I was inspired to write some more on the subject of working from home and developing our talents from home. As someone who has worked from home in the past, for periods of more or less intensity, I have learned that, while working from [...]

It’s been that kind of day, the type that used to drive me crazy and wear me out from nothing but the stress. By God’s grace, I have come a long way in the past ten years.

It’s here! The Raising Homemakers website launched today! It is so exciting to have a place for all of us mothers, daughters, grandmothers and women from all types of backgrounds– to be able to gather and be encouraged on this blessed journey of raising godly daughters and preparing them in the arts of homemaking to [...]

I sometimes hear stay-at-home mothers proudly saying that they “work just as hard as women who also have a job outside the home” or that “their days are as packed as anyone’s” and they have no time or space to breathe. I believe, however, that the point of our staying home isn’t to measure up [...]

On Saturday afternoon I was alone in the car with my honey for the first time in a week. We had just left the church, where our oldest daughter had just married, and we were on our way to the reception. (I will post about the ceremony later.) We were stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I [...]

Like most of my generation, I came to marriage knowing nothing of how to keep a home and a husband. I could hang laundry and dust a coffee table. Beyond that, I was worthless as a homemaker and mother. My heart longed to be more and do better, but everywhere I looked was a sea [...]

My beloved husband and I were, when I wrote this article, fast approaching our three-year anniversary. In a few more months we will have been married four years. And every day I fall more in love with him. People kept telling me when I married him, stars in my eyes and all, that this”first phase” would [...]

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 [...]

I’m not a superwoman. Perhaps there are women out there who work full-time outside the home, whose homes are still clean and immaculate, and who put three good homemade meals on the table every day. I know in many cases it’s a facade of having it all, which is hiding severe burn-out and incapability to [...]

I like food. Where I grew up, food was and is an enormous part of the culture. We go to restaurants much less but take our time for meals. My mother is a great cook, and, while I was rather reluctant to learn at a young age, once I became a student, I made up for that [...]

Recently a mother wrote me and inquired: “What do I do if I have waited too long to teach my older daughter homemaking skills and now she is not interested. Is it too late? What do I do now?”
