Heads up: The next few weeks

Will be busy for me at home!

The School for Housewives brings you short, practical, and thoughtful messages to inspire you to make your home. If you’re new here, go to the homepage for the previous Lessons; the categories are arranged in the menu bar at the top.

Note: In the coming few weeks, I will be posting a bit less and probably without the voiceover. My family is all getting together for a seaside vacation at the beginning of July, and the faraway ones are bopping in here starting now, on their way through and back!

With the visiting and grandkids running around, I just won’t have the quiet to get things done at the regular pace. I will try not to abandon you!

But do rummage around in the different “classrooms” of The School! If you’re a new subscriber, you may not realize how much material we’ve built up in less than a year. You can use that little search icon to look up particular subjects you are interested in (e.g. child development). And of course, up at the top there are the main categories.

Don’t miss the “popular posts” on the sidebar, either!

The mission of The School for Housewives is to help you find competence, and thus, contentment, in the vocation of making a home.

The world wants everyone in a state of anxiety and tense pursuit. But what it really needs is a still center, a place where there can be rest, enjoyment, learning, and peaceful, humble beauty. The woman — even, perhaps especially, the spirited woman — is the maker of that place.

She is the place.

As with everything here at the SFH, the best thing is for you to take my ideas, which come from my experience of escaping feminism to enjoy the gift of 45 years of marriage, seven children, and more than a score of grandchildren, and apply them to your situation with discernment, prudence, and confidence — and a sense of humor!

Be happy at home! Could you become a free or paid subscriber? That way you won’t miss anything! As a paid subscriber, you can comment and join the chat!

If you don’t wish to subscribe just now, I understand! How about…
