Wise Words as Children Return to Their Studies

We school year round, taking breaks when it suits our family.  Our family enjoys the sense of order and direction this gives us, as well as keeping the children from forgetting too much while taking a long summer break.  We also can take vacations or time off whenever we feel like it--one of the beauties of homeschooling!

As some children are about to start back up into a new school year, we have some very wise words to glean from.  Please join me at Raising Homemakers for the rest of today's post.

One Day Your Daughters will Grow Up

In day-to-day life, in the busyness of the home, we may have a tendency to lose track of what is most important. There is laundry to wash, fold, and put away. There is mending to be done, academics to teach to our children, three meals to provide for hungry bellies every day. There is shopping to attend to, meals to be planned, husbands to support and encourage, and of course spend time with. Not to mention all the unexpected things that pop up in our every day lives. These things are a part of our homemaking duties and are good, worthwhile things. We should be happy to do all of these things and more at home, even if we do not find each one of them pleasant.

But in all of our toiling and sacrificing for our families, we must keep the future in mind.  You can read the rest of today's post at Raising Homemakers.

How to be Motivated for Day to Day Homemaking

How can we be motivated every day for taking care of our husbands, children, and homes?  I'm sure you, as I do, wake up some days and find it hard to want to get going, and maybe find it hard to get started.  Maybe we feel like we'd just like to sit around and waste time.  Maybe we are pulled away by social media or other distractions on the internet.  How do we get motivated?  Please join me on Raising Homemakers today where I answer this question.

What We Eat is Important

 

Does it really matter what we eat? What do you think? We might want to hide our heads in the sand and pretend we can put any old thing labeled as "food" into our mouths and think it will nourish and sustain us. But the truth is that we are living in a world tainted by sin, and what we put in our bodies affects our bodies, either for good or bad.  Join me today at Raising Homemakers where I teach you a bit about eating for health.
