    How to Make Your Home Look Elegant but Feel Cozy

    June 6, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, A home can look regal and feel cozy but styling these two qualities together takes careful consideration. Here are some solid guidelines for the homemaker decorator to achieve a home that looks elegant but feels cozy. Afterall, we want things to look nice but feel just as good. Long Billowing Curtains The more you use long, beautiful curtains around your windows, the more the look harkens back to the days of ballrooms, sitting rooms, and a certain elegance that can be as understated or overstated as you want. By using lighter colors or lighter weight fabric you can get an ethereal feel from your curtains, ones that can even…

Let’s revisit some essential groundwork for working in our homes today in the topic of what to keep in stock that is absolutely essential for health.

    Elegant, Graceful & Dignified: The Blessing of Inward Makeover

    May 20, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, “Elegance” is not exclusive to an income bracket. In fact, elegance is a thing of rarity in all social circles now days. “Graceful” is a concept we quickly apply to a ballerina but is lesser seen as a concept to apply to women in everyday life. “Dignified” is a nearly forgotten idea in a culture that praises brash personalities, diminishes the importance of manners, grooming, dress, etc. But the Christian woman has the unique blessing of becoming elegant, graceful, and dignified from the inside out. “The woman Folly is loud” Proverbs 9:13 Elegance Recently, upon re-reading The Little House on The Prairie book series, I was enraptured in how Ma…

    Ladies, When building a classy wardrobe, it is vital to identify specific elements of clothing that set it apart as being classy. One of those elements for me in a classy summer wardrobe is having sleeveless dresses that cover more of my shoulder and around my arm than the spaghetti straps that abound. I have noticed that this style element is common among women in the limelight who dress classy. Without naming names, I have studied these dresses of women whose bra straps are securely covered by this wider sleeveless style and whose necklines are decidedly higher than most. The fabric of these dresses is also of vital interest as…

    How to Be Lovely & Beautiful in Dress & Deed

    April 30, 2025 / 0 Comments

    Ladies, The topic of dressing can seem surface, but I like to point out how what we wear reflects our deeper held values. Our style, like our manners, are only employed when we feel it is necessary from a deeper belief that it matters. Many women believe that their appearance does not matter It does not matter in the sense that God looks at the heart. He is concerned with our inward character and motivations. But what woman attracts a husband by rejecting her looks? Men look at the outward appearance before they get to know our heart. So, our appearance does matter. Once you are married, your appearance matters.…

    How to Love Homemaking by Delegating & Hiring Help

    Ladies, “A woman’s work is never done.” as the old saying goes. Many days we can fall into bed with things still in the sink, people needing to be fed the minute we wake up and never-ending laundry and crumbs on the floor. We find as homemaking wives and mothers that it is not a badge of honor to wear yourself down until your disposition is anything but pleasant. But so often the workload does wear us down. No caretaker can go on endlessly at the same pace without serious burnout. There are countless paid jobs that do the work of the homemaking wife such as a maid, a nanny,…

    Ladies, The spring sunshine brings flowers out and how much more beautiful colors in our wardrobe. Wearing happy colors can not only enhance your complexion, but it also brings cheerfulness to your family. This yellow color was one of those rare perfect yellows for my preference, vibrant but soft, not dull, not neon, not green, not mustard, not too pastel. Finding the right colors for you in quality fabrics for your project is half the battle of sewing, but these elements are what make a pattern shine. Fabric found on fabricmartfabrics.com While I prefer sleeves, I ended up making this dress sleeveless lending it to not just springtime but to…

Battle of the Bra Straps Thin straps on tops and dresses can be pretty but have plagued us with the consequence of displayed bra straps. The classiest women photographed never show bra straps.

Never before in history was there such abundance of wealth and material goods as this nation has held for even low-income people. It was as a new wife on a low income with little to spend on groceries let alone decor, that I learned how to be a homemaker. In this day of visual abundance featuring images of pretty things that we infer are taken by wealthy people, the truth is, what we see is often times produced by the development of good taste and resourcefulness more than…
