10 Homemaking Posts for a more Peaceful Keeping Heart
Don’t you find that the actual doing of homemaking can get overwhelming? Homemaking, we all know it’s part of our role as women, wives and mothers. We understand that God has designed us to be helpers (Genesis 2:18) and desires for us to be keepers at home, (Titus 2:4). This post contains affiliate advertisement links to 3rd party sites. In fact, if we don’t guard our hearts it can become a burden. A burden that can lead to discontent if we aren’t careful about our attitude. I recently was re-reading an article written by my friend Stacy, over on R16:16, listed below, and I was reminded that when I grumble and complain…

Anatomy of an Organized Closet
Organized Closet How To I’ll be the first to admit that closets in my home get cluttered pretty quickly. It’s so easy to put stuff inside closets, close the door and forget about it. In time, the more I add the more cluttered it becomes, and in a short time, I’d rather just keep the door closed. Recently I have been determined to clean the closets in our home and try to get organized in a way which will be easy to maintain. In our bedroom we have one of those standard closets with a double sliding door. We have no walk-ins here. Let me show you how I organized it for…

This Week…Spring Cleaning Begins During Break
Spring Cleaning During Unexpected Spring Break This week we took a break from school. I don’t typically schedule spring break, however I had the opportunity to babysit for a brother in the church who happens to live 3 doors down. So we had visitors 3 days this week, Ben age 4 and his brother Nathaniel age 6. I was really surprised at how well the boys got along. I had imagined that Little Man would lose patience by the 3rd day. He can be quite possessive with his things. However, on Sunday evening he set aside things that he would prefer they not play with and we explained that everything else was…

If You Give a Girl a Vacuum: Being a Keeper
Purposing for Being a Better Keeper About 6 months ago I listened to a podcast over at Come Fill Your Cup with Erynn Sprouse featuring Erin Wells. Erin is the wife of a preacher and a home-school mom of 4 great kids. The topic for that day was… “Being a Keeper of the Home.” In this podcast they discussed the topic of the role of a wife and how God instructs us to be keepers of the home. I must say that after listening and then later taking a personal study of the passage in Titus 2, I was quite convicted to do a better job within this area of my own…
