Today was a puttering kind of day. No big, exciting projects were undertaken. No earth-shaking cooking going on. Today was a day to just tend to the everyday things that not only make a house a home, but help keep it that way. The daily chores and all of the weekly chores for [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 22nd, 2012 | Tags: homemaking, looking well, scheduled homemaking | Category: Uncategorized | 2 comments February is a peculiar month. The thrill of the holiday season is long forgotten. The anticipation that comes with the start of a new year is now fading. Spring is several weeks away. For all of that, February is a lovely month for staying put and enjoying our homes.

February 1st, 2012 | Tags: homemaking, recipe | Category: Uncategorized | 10 comments I’ve had a broken window in my schoolroom for several months. Oh, don’t worry. There was no broken glass involved. I’ve talked about the broken window concept before in this post. In brief, one broken window in a neighborhood, if left unrepaired, might lead to other windows being broken by vandals, leading to a slow, steady decline [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

It’s been quite a long while since he’s been home with us on a Monday. All of the overtime he’s been working has been directed toward some needful things in and around our home.
Our big couch was in fairly good shape, the love seat only [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
January 16th, 2012 | Tags: Copper's Day Off, homemaking, the good life | Category: Uncategorized | 11 comments Today was the day that I planned to sign William up for baseball. He’s never played baseball, nor have any of my kids participated in any sort of team sports. We’ve all been excited, but nervous, about the whole thing. The early registration discount expires in the next couple of days, though, so I knew [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
January 4th, 2012 | Tags: homemaking, looking well | Category: Uncategorized | 6 comments Our fall weather arrived in fine style – cloudy skies, cooler days, chilly nights and, yesterday, some rain. I know some would prefer that summer last all year, but I enjoy the seasonal changes. It is, after all, God’s design.
I’m enjoying evening fires in the wood stove and having scented candles [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
October 6th, 2011 | Tags: homemaking, the good life | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment I love days like today! We’re all home, we’re all working, but not necessarily together; and at the end of the day, I can look back and see that a great deal was accomplished. Copper will return to work tomorrow, after a week long vacation, and it will seem kind of strange without him here [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

Once you get the hang of it, it really is easy and you’ll be able to write up your plans in short order. For those just starting out, though, I want to be thorough. There are a lot of different ways to menu plan, but you need [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

These little grace notes of sight and scent do more to make a home [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
June 2nd, 2011 | Tags: commonplace book, homemaking, looking well | Category: Uncategorized | 5 comments An oft repeated phrase in my home is a variation on the theme of, “Put it on the list.” “Last powdered sugar, Mom.”, followed by my saying, “Put it on the list.” Or, not quite as pleasantly, “We’re out of…..” insert any number of things that we might be out of, followed by my [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
