Send me a text about this episode!

Today's installment of this Summer Reading Re-Run:
Ch. 8 "Religion in the Home" and Ch. 9 "Home Memories"

The Art of Home is taking a break for the beginning of summer 2023. That gives you an opportunity to catch up on old episodes or join in for another round of reading and studying JR Miller's classic, Homemaking, published in 1882. For the next five weeks your host, Allison, will read two chapters from this short book.

To help you retain and apply the timeless lessons of Rev. Miller, The Art of Home has created a free study guide for each chapter. Use the link below to receive your downloadable, printable copy. All resources created by The Art of Home for this summer reading series are provided free of charge.

Since we are presenting the book in audio form via the podcast you do not need a hard copy. However, it might be helpful for working through the reflection questions. This book is in the public domain, therefore you can access the text for free in various places online. We will link some below. If you desire, you can purchase a paperback copy for less than $10 on Amazon. 

NEW FOR 2023: FACEBOOK DISCUSSION GROUP! A private  forum for all of us to share questions, insights and ideas that come up while listening to the book each week and working through the study guide. Click the link below to join.

Today's installment of this Summer Reading Re-Run:
Ch. 4 "The Parent's Part" and Ch. 5 "The Children's Part"
In chapter 4, Miller explores the parent's role in creating both physical and emotional home environments in which children will thrive. In chapter 5, he gives wisdom concerning how children can learn to honor their parents by learning to confide in them, to live for others rather than self, to practice thoughtfulness and to share in the housekeeping.

On today’s episode I am talking with in-the-trenches homemaker, Alexis Molnar. She is wife to Eric and homeschooling mama to their two children. Alexis shares her journey from working girl to stay-at-home mom, to eventually letting go of her part-time gig and focusing all her efforts on homemaking and homeschooling.

Eric lost his job late last year and that was the catalyst for starting his own business. Alexis openly shares how God is teach her to trust Him despite the fears that can come with a single-income, entrepreneurial family life. As usual we talk about priorities, expectations, fails, wins and we geek out together over our love of air fryers.

I am diving into the first pillar of homemaking, Identity, with my good friend, author, speaker and podcaster, Susan Macias. This deep dive is the first in a series on Four Pillars of Homemaking: Identity, Values & Priorities, Rhythms & Routines, and Community. We are going to contrast what God has to say about identity with what the world has to say about where to find your identity. Then we will look at some common identity thieves—things homemakers may be tempted to look to for identity and how to avoid falling into those traps.
