Homemaker Chic: A Podcast Review
This podcast has blessed my work, sharpened my focus, and added beauty to my home. If you have a place in your life for a podcast, I highly recommend this one.
Book Review: Love the Home You have
As she writes about contentment, she makes it clear that it is not a passive, purely ideological thing. It is active and practical, and it takes action based on that heart-attitude of contentment.
Book Reviews: Summa Domestic and The Stocked Kitchen
This book is practical, philosophical (delving into the whats and the whys), realistic, and encouraging. Lawler even had a chapter that encourages those of us who regret not getting on the ball earlier in life with the whole homemaker thing.
Book Review: Susie and Divine Contentment
I read this book and was so convicted, but I was also greatly encouraged. I was encouraged as a wife, as a pastor’s wife, and as someone who struggles with the limitations set by her health. This book is a perfect illustration of “well-behaved women seldom make history.”
Book Review: Songs of a Housewife by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Theology of Home II: The Spiritual Art of Homemaking by Carrie Gress, Noelle Mering
The general tone of the book, like the first book, was peaceful, beautiful, quiet, gentle and mothering (in a good way). It was a calm oasis in my day to stop and read a chapter at lunch.
Book Review: Theology of Home by Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering, Photography by Kim Baile
Reading this book was a never-ending theological battle in the warmest, most beautiful, literally-brought-tears-to-my-eyes setting. It was like fighting an intellectual battle in Mom’s kitchen while she’s baking scones and the coffee is brewing. The coziness made it irksome to keep my theological shield up.
