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.

I've got TWO great stories of home for you today! First I am chatting with Maryela Soto-Portillo who has been keeping a home for 15 years. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey, she now makes a home in Florida with her husband, 2 children, and her mother. Maryela works part time, homeschools her children and has dreams of opening a homeschool co-op to help other busy moms make homeschooling work for their families.
Then, I visit with Amanda Faucett who has been keeping a home with husband, James, for 23 years. She just launched her son from the nest and will be launching her daughter in less than 2 years. Amanda and I have a great conversation about living in a somewhat politically divided home. It’s not a topic that comes up often, but it is her experience and she has some great insights to share.
The Mitford Books by Jan KaronTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeBecause of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamilloThe Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis
I will also be sharing a couple answers from last Monday's question of the week about favorite fiction books and giving you my answer to that question. Enjoy and don't forget to use the chapter markers to hop around and find you place later if you need to listen in more than one go. :)

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?

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.

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.
Original article by "A" from The Parents' Review courtesy of Ambleside Online "How do I 'mother culture'?" by Autumn Kern, The Commonplace YouTube"Learning to Create a Mother Culture," by Amy Roberts, Raising Arrows Podcast Karen Andreola Mother CulturePhilippians 4:8
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.

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!
Podcast, Untraditionally Traditional:A Millennial Homemaker PodcastIG @untraditionallytraditionalpodwebsite untraditionallytraditional.com

"There are homes in which there is nothing remarkable in the way of grandeur or elegance, yet the very atmosphere as you enter it is filled with sweetness like, 'the smell of a field that the Lord hath blessed'. It is the aroma of love, the love of Christ shed abroad in human hearts." ~JR Miller
The Southern Living Cookbook, 1987The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook, 1999, 2006
We have an opportunity, homemakers, to cultivate a particular spiritual and relational fragrance in our homes. Will it be a sweet aroma or an offensive stench? Today I am sharing a little story about the aroma of home, some of my favorite spice mixes and I'm pulling a classic cookbook From My Bookshelf that I think will help you in your homemaking journey.

We want to be faithful, wise managers of the resources that have been entrusted to us. There are many benefits to good stewardship, but like all things in homemaking, economy in the kitchen doesn’t just come naturally to most of us and there are many things that can trip us up and hinder our progress.
Psalm 24:1, Psalm 50, 2 Corinthians 9Proverbs 3:9-10, Matthew 25:21, James 1:5Proverbs 31:11-12, 23, 28Luke 6:38
In this episode we will first look at the why of kitchen economy; how it honors God, our husbands and helps our homemaking. Then we will discuss how our grocery bills are impacted by our skills and expectations. Finally we will look at how to use money and time management for practicing good kitchen economy with 15 money and time saving tips.

In today's Monday Motivation, I'm sharing my summer memories of creating from my grandmother's scrap box and how I carried that practice into my own home when my children were growing up. Whether to fill time on a rainy afternoon, keep little hands busy during travel or in waiting rooms, a Busy Box for your kids or grandkids will certainly spark creativity. Just remember, it's not really about the end result, it's the process and the memory you are making of being creative together.
I'm also answering a listener question from The AoH Mail Bag about creating family and personal mission plans.

I am chatting with Darah Rogers who has been keeping a home for several years…including a time of single homemaking in a youth camp cabin during covid and most recently for 2 years with her husband and baby girl. Darah shares how she struggled to reconcile her long standing desire to be at home full time with the cultural pressure she felt to pursue a career and how she is still resolving that struggle. We cover all the usual ground of fails, wins, tips and Titus 2 advice. Darah has that youthful zeal for all the homemaking things and I picked up several new ideas from her!
