|
| Read More >> |
Math is integrated in all areas of life. Mothers are experts at doing mental math everyday without even thinking about it. In fact, we are quite good at math, but then….I’d wager cleaning your bathroom sinks that you already knew that!
Welcome!
How are you feeling about your home, self, and family? In your eyes can it use improvement? For years, I struggled to be sure everything was in place, and to be sure I appeared to have it all together, and to truly appear happy even though deep down my life was a mess. I desperately wanted a change but had no idea how to go about making one. There was no value in the most important things in my life, but too much value was placed up what others thought of me and how I appeared to “others”. Inadvertently, but by my reactions, I even showed my children that their worth was infinitely less than the furnishings or belongings every time they accidently messed something up or damaged objects or clothes. The value I placed on the need to be perfect or to live a life that I thought others would approve of had a cost- my happiness and the happiness of those closest to me.
But, what is the cost of not having your life, home, family, and emotionally balanced self in the way that you desire it to look and feel like? What do we pay to the imaginary perfect home and family piper? Or, what is it we sacrifice? Time, energy, health, happiness, date nights, mental happiness or health, sleep, etc.? Is it worth it? No. Staying where you are will keep you stuck. The “theys”, the “should do” lists, are relentless and will never end.
It’s time to break free.
There is a fulfilling life and home waiting for you. But, it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. You are unique: your style, your goals, your tastes, your personality, those in your life, and what makes you happy. When we quit trying to live someone else’s dream life and discover the beauty in our own then true happiness comes. Because, let’s face it, is living someone eles’s dream life what you really want? Every piece? “If all of our problems were hung on a line, you’d take yours and I’d take mine.”
That was what the Homemaking Cottage is all about, sharing our journey and helping you get rid of the stuckness of the past and how to begin creating the home, life, and family that creates true happiness for you and best serves your life and your mission.
With the Deluxe Edition we walk you through these steps and coach you to become the woman you want to be~ the woman you are deep down ready to emerge. You deserve it. You are wonderful and important. It’s time to find fulfillment in all areas of your life and we can help you! Begin today!

If you’ve been reading my money-saving articles, you should be seeing some positive changes in your bank account. Maybe you’ve even saved quite a bit by now and are asking yourself “Now what?” There is actually a big difference between saving money and investing it. One means you’re just putting it away somewhere, whereas the other is about getting your money to work for you.
We can justify to ourselves that our worrying is a sign that was care about the world around us, but in reality this inner conflict resolves nothing. If you can make it through life with a peaceful life you will not only be able to enjoy your days more, but you will actually become a better problem solver.
A Comparative Look at Roman Life to ours. I have always been fascinated with history. Perhaps it’s due to a curious thought that I should have been born in another timeframe. Not that 60 BC would have been my timeframe of choice, but I do love to read about it. I’d much rather learn through other people’s mistakes than completely mess up my own life and end up giving up like Cleopatra and letting a poisonous asp...
Outdoor swim parties, barbecues and trips to the park are all good ways to spend a family Saturday, but what about after everyone comes home tired and sunburned, ready to cool off and chill out? Rather than just have everyone veg out in front of the tv or computer, why not order...| Sneak Peeks... |

As a young girl, I didn't have a hope chest; neither did any of my five sisters. We remedied that situation by keeping our collections of dishes, towels and other items we collected in boxes tucked away in our closets. After I was married, I finally bought myself a small, inexpensive toy chest which I painted and used as a hope chest. I continued to store unused household items along with baby items in this chest and it lasted for three of our moves until it finall
As a young girl growing up in rural Utah, I still remember the 4-H club meetings my sisters and I attended weekly during the long, hot months of summer. Our clubs happened to focus on homemaking skills; I learned to bake chocolate chip cookies and sew a simple dress, while others of my friends went to clubs which helped them learn to garden, raise champion calves and can fruit.

Once an historical figure becomes a Disney character, it’s fair to say that our perspective gets a bit skewed. And so is the case with Pocahontas. Credited with saving the life of English colonist John Smith, she became a legend for uniting two races. However, given the vast amount of conflicting information regarding the life of the girl called Pocahontas, it’s difficult to know what to believe. One thing for certain is that what you think you know about her is likely incorrect.
