In this episode, I am chatting with in the trenches homemaker, Amber Reesor, who has been keeping a home with her husband, Curtis, for 10 years. They have 2 little girls who as Amber says, completely changed her heart for homemaking.
We talk about the amazing legacy of contentment and hospitable generosity her parents created, the impact it has had on her own homemaking and how she is working to pass on the same legacy to her girls.
Amber shares how taking up a simple gratitude journal practice gave her the skills to identify and overcome a grumbling spirit in her homemaking and what the Lord is teaching her through the challenge of homemaking in someone else’s house.

Last week, I gave you some ideas for celebrating Valentine’s day and expressing your love through simple acts of homemaking like cooking your family’s favorite food, leaving loving notes around the house, playing music tied to special memories and even some ways to ignite the flame of marriage. Today, I’d like to explore how we can express our love for those in our home through a homemaking task we all love to hate; laundry.

We'll talk about transforming laundry from drudgery into delightful opportunity of love by checking your expectations, taking the time to teach, and letting go of some control through delegation. I also have some helpful laundry resources for you.

I am chatting with Laura Ruoff about her 18 years of keeping a home with husband, Chris, and their 11 year old son.
We chat about all the things; challenges, expectations, fails and wins—how Laura is coming to terms with the illusion of perfectionism and balance, especially in her current season of being an entrepreneur.
Laura owns a women’s self-defense school called Hips-n-Clips. Laura is a certified pistol instructor and range safety officer and she is passionate about teaching women all things self-defense. Laura is first and foremost a homemaker and as a fan of the Art of Home, she applied mainly to share her story of home.
But I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk with her specifically about women’s safety and self defense. So we spend some time in the middle of this interview talking about some of the basics. Laura is great resource and she gracious shares some really great information here that will benefit all of you.

Today is February 3rd. Have you made any plans for Valentine’s Day? I realize that some people dismiss this as a greeting card holiday or despise it as a day fraught traumatic memories of not getting a valentine from the boy you had a crush on in 3rd grade. Today, I’m inviting you to lay your prejudices and past disappointments aside and embrace the unique opportunities to celebrate and express God’s love through your everyday homemaking.
We will look at ways to celebrate with food, words, music, experiences and some "couples only" suggestions for igniting the spark in your marriage.

Today, we are going to hear from Charity Gibson, who not only works outside the home but has written a book called The Working Homemaker: Employed Christian Moms Desiring a Thriving Home Life.
Charity is at peace with her decision to be a working homemaker, yet is just as passionate about cultivating a place of belonging in her home as a full time homemaker would be. She’s come to realize that her choice, just like another woman’s choice to be home full time, requires certain sacrifices and adjusted expectations. But she does have a choice, and so do you.
We talk about the role of boundaries for keeping work in its proper place, the difference between obligation and options and the fundamental truth that society should exist for the good of the family, not the other way around, because that is how both institutions truly thrive. We also cover all the usual ground of homemaking highs and lows, favorites, tips and more.EPISODE NOTES & LINKS

We are continuing today to revisit the 1st Pillar of Homemaking, Identity. Last week we looked at looking with, looking without, and looking up for identity, as well as some common identity thieves. Be sure to go back and give that a listen if you haven’t. Today we are going to talk about rehab for an identity-confused heart.

We will look at how to replace false identities with Truth, focusing on what the Bible has to say about who God is and who you are in Christ.

If you’re new to the art of home, you may not be familiar with the 4 pillars of homemaking we’ve been exploring over the past couple of years—Identity, Values & Priorities, Rhythms & Routines, and Community.
Identity with Susan MaciasValues & Priorities with Karen Sheppard and Joi WelchRhythms & Routines with Leslie Lucadou
We have done Deep Dives into the first three and this year we will dive into the final pillar, Community. In preparation for that journey, I wanted to revisit the first three pillars in several series of Monday Motivation episodes.
Today, I will be talking about Pillar #1, Identity, specifically where to look and not to look for your identity, as well as how to recognize some common thieves we may be tempted to attach our identity to and why.
EPISODE NOTES & LINKS
Pillars of Homemaking Deep Dive EpisodesScripture:
How would you react if these were threatened? I've given you some possible scenarios.Note what emotions come up as you consider these hypothetical threats and losses.Then ask yourself, "Why? Why do I feel _______ facing this particular threat?"Once you have your answer, ask again, "But Why?" Keep asking "why" until you get to the heart of the matter. I guarantee you it will always come down to an identity issue. Do you believe God is who He says He is and that you are who He says you are?
Job 1:21
James 1:7
Think About It Questions:
Consider losses or hardships you do or might face in your marriage, parenting, role as a homemaker, your physical home, health/wellness, ministry/volunteer work and ask yourself the following questions:Support the show

It’s January 13, how are your new year’s homemaking resolutions going?

Many of you are considering, perhaps even have begun a read through the Bible challenge for the year and that is awesome. But maybe you are feeling a little hesitant, dare I say resistant to the idea of committing to regular Bible reading and study. Whether it’s because you’re feeling overwhelmed, under equipped or because Bible study seems unrealistic or irrelevant to your current season, this episode is for you.
I hope that through this conversation you will see the unending riches that are waiting for you in the Word of God and that it is accessible and applicable to your experience as a woman, a wife, a mom, and a homemaker.

This first installment of Holiday Homemaking 2024 is a little different than past episodes. The first half of the episode is a mini deep dive on Advent with wife, mom, homemaker and author, Donna Amidon. She shares how her family practice of decorating a Jesse Tree throughout Advent transformed their celebration of Christmas and led to her new book, Tracing His Promise.
Then we jump into familiar Holiday Homemaking territory with Amanda Faucett's and Holly Tompkins' holiday stories of home, some holiday poetry and some tips from me on coordinating family or group gift giving.

First, I am chatting with ANOTHER Scottish homemaker, Jillian Johnson. Technically, she was raised in Canada by Scottish parents, she moved to Belfast, Ireland for midwifery school where she met a dashing Scottish medical student who was raised in England. They got married, had a baby, and now make their home in Scotland. We have the most delightful conversation about Jillian’s experience as a newbie homemaker, wife and mom. I adore her sense of humor and found myself smiling and laughing all over again as I did the editing of her segment.

Then I chat with Anna Murphy who stayed home for about 5 years with her daughter then taught school for 12 years before returning home full time in 2020. The Lord really changed Anna’s perspective about the importance of homemaking to draw her back home just in time for those crucial years of helping her teen daughter see the value in homemaking. With both of these ladies, we cover all the usual territory of strengths, weaknesses, expectations, fails, wins, resources and more.
In Allison's Update, I'm sharing my favorite Fall music and news about Holiday Homemaking 2024!

I realize for some believers this holiday is off limits due to their past and or their conscience before the Lord. I respect that because, while we all have freedom in Christ, each one of us should do as the Holy Spirit directs us. If that's you, feel free to skip this episode.
For those of you who are on the fence or haven’t really considered how Christians should think about Halloween, I'd like to present one perspective in today's episode. Is this really "the devil's day" and are we violating scripture by handing out candy?
It is my prayer that this episode will encourage you to fear not, but rather seek the Lord's will for your family's participation (or not) in Halloween.I am also giving some practical suggestions for fun couples and family costumes as well as my (new) favorite fall candies.
