Unearthly Beauty
O, Mother, whether you live in a palace or a hovel, if your chief care be to have God ever live in your heart, His light within you will shed such unearthly beauty on all things that you will make your little ones see a lovely palace in this world, in spite of a meager income and you life of hard labor. So keep that light ever full in your child’s soul. -True Womanhood

What Do Your Eyes Say?
My Occupation? Glad you asked!
What name do you give to your extraordinary role when asked your occupation? I do not use the word ‘housewife’ as it has negative connotations. I prefer to use titles as:
Home Manager! Nation Builder! Nation Changer! Director if Home Affairs!

Arise in your God-given gifts
For this is your finest hour

Ignited and empowered

The Highest, Holiest Service
“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind.”

Folding Clothes with a Twist
5 super simple ways to get more out of your laundry folding time:
– If you fold infrequently or fold a lot of laundry at one time, folding is a great time to listen to a sermon or audio book.
– I like to think that time spent singing (good songs) is never wasted.
– Just think. Everyone can use a little time to slow down and think.
– Teach a little child to fold simple laundry like dish towels and..
Only a Housewife?
“I’m only a housewife, I’m afraid.” How often do we hear this shocking admission. I’m afraid when I hear it I feel very angry indeed. Only a housewife: only a practitioner of one of the two most noble professions (the other one is that of a farmer); only the mistress of a huge battery of high and varied skills and custodian of civilization itself. Only a typist, perhaps! Only a company..
