In our recent deep dive episode on the informed homemaker, Isa Ryan and I discussed the value of exposing ourselves to great literature because it helps train our minds in the art of story-telling. If you are intimidated by tackling the classics or fear you'll never finish without encouragement, might I suggest a book club?
I'm on year 4 of a virtual book club with friends and this December we will have conquered over 50 classics together!
In this episode I'm sharing 5 ways great literature will help you be an informed homemaker and 5 steps to start and maintain a virtual book club.

Today's episode is a companion to our recent deep dive on the informed homemaker which is all about making sense of what is happening in the world and our culture with eyes of faith through a Biblical worldview lens. Of course going right to the source and studying scripture itself is the best policy, but what about companion resources such as devotionals, Bible focused podcasts, Bible study books, online sermons, other Christian publications, YouTube channels, etc? How to we know who to trust? Is there a way to tell whether or not a preacher or publication is biblically sound? That is what we are discussing today as we look at the example of a group of believers from the New Testament called the Bereans.

Has the news got you angry, worried, or ready to opt out of society? As part of our season-long exploration of courageous homemaking we are going to tackle the topic of world news, events and culture. How do we navigate all of that responsibly without fear, fighting or checking out completely and what does all of this have to do with courageous homemaking?
My discussion partner today is Isa Ryan, a homemaker and writer who grew up with a very progressive paradigm and no concept of biblical femininity. As a follower of Christ, she now champions God's design for men, women and the family in her writing and her interactions on social media.
Join us as we look at what it means to be an informed homemaker and why it matters.

One of the ways we can express love in our homemaking is to prioritize the family table. Slowing down long enough to gather and break bread together provides the family an opportunity to connect every day. In this episode we will look at things to consider regarding expectations and purpose as well as tips and ideas for setting the table and the mood and what to talk about once you are there.

Welcome to Season 21!! Today, I am chatting with seasoned homemaker and mother of 10, Elizabeth Ours, who had the most clever blog name ever back the day, Yes, They are All Ours. Get it? 😁
Married right out of college, Elizabeth has been homemaking for four decades and homeschooled all 10 of her children. She has so much wisdom to share and her joyful attitude is contagious.
I'm also sharing what I'm loving lately on Allison's Update and what to expect this season on The Art of Home.

In today's Monday Motivation I'm riffing on the popular Charlotte Mason idea of Mother Culture™ and applying it to the homemaker. Mother Culture™ stresses the importance of cultivating your own soul and mind with the express purpose of having something good, true and beautiful to offer those in your care.
Homemaker Culture, as I have experienced it over the past 30+ years, involves claiming small windows of time amidst our busy days to cultivate a rich reading life, religious life, artful life and creative life. This episode will focus on the creative life, with some practical suggestions to help you begin to pursue Homemaker Culture.

We all desire a peaceful, fruitful home where everyone feels loved, valued and welcome. We can all think of things that hinder or even hijack that goal, but the most sneaky enemy of home may be lurking in the dark corners of our own hearts.
In today's Monday Motivation I share a story about this enemy of home involving a close encounter of the natural kind. In keeping with the discovery and nature theme, I'm sharing my favorite apps for identifying the animals, plants and bugs around your home and neighborhood.
I also share a couple of listener comments and a tip from the AoH Mail Bag.

Join me for this experimental, first ever, Homemaker Portrait Double Episode!
First, I’m chatting with Brittany Duncan, homemaker and fellow podcaster. Brittany has been keeping a home with her husband, Johnson, for 7 years. Even though she works outside the home, Brittany loves embracing the old ways of homemaking so much that she started a podcast to help other women her age do the same.
My second guest today is Jenna Punke-Bendt, homemaker and another fellow homemaking content creator. Jenna has been keeping a home with her husband, Doug, for 17 years. Jenna has embraced full time homemaking for most of those years as she has raised 4 boys who were all born within a span of only 5 years!
With both of these guests I will discuss their typical homemaking day, their homemaking strengths, weaknesses and influences. We discuss homemaking expectations and gratitude as well as classic Q&A with all the usual questions plus a new one about hospitality. Finally, we talk to the younger and the older women with some Titus 2 advice.
