We have a deep longing for home, comfort, and belonging. We long to build such a place and dwell in such a place. So join us, sisters, in this ultimate career! Let's pour a cup of coffee and discuss all the wonderful and amazing elements of HearthKeeping, homemaking, and the domestic arts. Let's encourage one another in a culture that belittles the homemaker. Let's share projects, pictures, goals, struggles, and more.
Please keep in mind, this isn't a place designed to discuss homeschooling, childrearing, or marriage, though those things might come up in broader conversations. Not all the women gathered here have children, homeschool, or have husbands. Maids, matrons, and crones should all feel like they have something to bring to the table, even if it is just questions. Also, this isn't a place to complain about husbands or homemaking, though if you need help, or are struggling, please ask.
So come in close to the fire and join the sisterhood of HearthKeeping. Join a place for women who love and adore being homemakers.
Abby D. Jones
Abby D. Jones is a HearthKeeper, wife, church member, and published author who studies boots-on-the-ground military history and JRR Tolkien. She likes her homemaking mixed with a fair amount of grit. Though she lives in the suburbs, she has deep, familial roots in homesteading and farming. Her favorite things are to be home with her chickens—Astrid, Sif, Sigyn, Freya, Frigg, and Skaði—or spending time with her numerous nieces and nephews. You can find her book, Stoneheart, here.
Sarah Gabriel
Sarah Gabriel is a HearthKeeper, wife, and mother. She is self-employed as a freelance copyeditor, and in her spare time, she reads a little of everything. She also tries to spend as much time outside as possible, even while living in a small apartment in the middle of a bustling city. She lives for days spent at home with her husband, filled with cheering music and good food.
Rachel Atterholt
Rachel Atterholt is an author, actor, and HearthKeeper. She loves the art of storytelling, of telling tales in homemaking as she cooks and cleans, and writes articles and books. She also loves nurturing community bonds through my church and church family.
Beyond her literary pursuits, she finds joy in making bread, an art that symbolizes nurture and community—principles that echo throughout her narratives. Her involvement in her church fosters a spirit of HearthKeeping, providing a backdrop for the relationships and connections that define her stories.
