Stop Kicking Yourself for “Wasting food” Instead Praise God for His Abundance!
We are pretty good at beating ourselves up as women. I once heard a pastor joke that his wife’s spiritual gift was guilt. Haha! Well that is certainly true for me every time I scrape food into the trash. That is the worst feeling. But thanks to God I had a change of perspective on this. Romans 12:2 says “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” I pray this verse continually for myself. There is nothing like being transformed…

Homemaking English Country Inspired Outfit Fall Fashion 2022
Fall is here and the same old styles are still thrilling me. Oversized sweaters, leggings and riding style boots! Welcome to my little stylish corner of the countryside. I love walking this road because it is lined with oak trees and this lovely fence. It is such beautiful countryside for a walk. The first thing I do when I wake up is throw on my clothes and go outside to walk. One of my favorite things to wear for my outdoor excursions as well as for house work, is perhaps the most poorly understood fashion item of the decade: leggings. Leggings are classic pants when made with the right fabric…

Traditional Feminine Fashion : Homemaking Outfit in the Countryside
Hi ladies, I am writing to you from my wistful Autumnal mood. For clothing, I have been loving a specific color of red. A deep wine red. If I had a cardigan in the same color as this dress it would look beautiful for winter time.

My boots are nearly worn through but I am still blessed to have them work. I love the height and shape and color of this pair. When I can afford a new pair this is my template for…

Countryside Style : Fashion for Home & Outdoors
Many people think that dressing nice for daily living is not realistic. But nice clothing has fortitude if you pick the right pieces. Like my beautiful caramel colored leather boots here that I have been wearing for 5 years. Here is what’s realistic: they are scuffed and worn from walking on rock pathways and dirt nearly every day for the last 5 autumns and winters. Being in the countryside means significant wear on items which requires them to be made out of better materials with superior construction. I can not skimp on quality for boots but I found these in a thrift shop nearly brand new all those years ago…

Housewives are Working Women
This article is written from a Biblical Christian perspective to encourage other Christian wives. Did you know that you are a “working woman” when you become a wife? Were you ever told about the job of running a home? Do you know it’s ok to earn money but that is not what qualifies you as a “working woman”? All I ever wanted was to be a wife running my own home, but I knew to never admit this was my primary ambition. No one was ever presenting this to me as an option. I was prodded toward the workforce with great intensity and never a word mentioned about being a…
