Welcome

When I was a little girl my dream was to grow up, live on a farm and be the best mother and wife I could be. I also wanted to be a professional figure skater or a gymnast but neither of those worked out so here I am living on our small farm, married to my wonderful husband of 25 years. We have three beautiful daughters,  one granddaughter and another one on the way in just a few days. The Lord has truly blessed me.

I wanted to start this blog to encourage women to have a heart for their homes.  A homemaker is someone who creates a safe and loving environment for her family to dwell.  Being a homemaker doesn't just mean you are someone who stays at home instead of going to work outside the home. There are many women who work outside the home these days that can still be homemakers and there are many women who stay home that are not really homemakers. It's not where you are, it's what you are doing. There was a time that I had to work outside my home when it was called for, but I was still a homemaker. I woke up extra early and made beds, tidied up the house, put on a load of laundry and made decisions about dinner before I headed to work.  It was a much heavier load then than it is now but even though I worked, my heart was to create a loving and welcoming environment in my home. I haven't worked outside the home in many years now and I feel truly blessed that I can be a stay at home homemaker. I hope this blog will encourage you to have a heart for your home no matter what season of life you're in. I will be sharing stories, recipes, organizational tips and hints, sewing projects, gardening ideas and much more. I am looking forward to our journey together as homemakers.
