Ladies, the kitchen is MY DOMAIN! And I take it seriously! Last year I invested in what has turned out to be one of the most beloved and useful kitchen tools in my “toolbox”: the Vitamix. I wrote up a post at the time in which I raved about how much I loved my Vitamix […]

By Contributing Writer, Kim Doebler Hospitality is a command. Being Martha Stewart or Betty Crocker is not. Romans 12:13 states it plain and simple: “Practice hospitality.” In I Timothy, hospitality is listed as a “must” for an overseer and the “good deed” of a woman. I Timothy 3: 2 “Now the overseer must be above […]
By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore As an RN and former breadwinner of our family, my heart goes out to moms who would love to be at home, but are financially burdened. Our economy, cost of living and expected standard of living puts many families over a barrel, and robs mothers of their choice to be a […]
By Contributing Writer, Chelsey Hall “Hospitality is becoming an almost forgotten Christian virtue in our style of life today… In the New Testament, however, hospitality was a distinctive mark of Christians and Christian communities.” ~Alexander Strauch For most folks, life is busy.

By Contributing Writer, Jennifer Ross The “vision” most of us were given as young ladies about to blossom into womanhood was that of distinct feminism. Few of our own parents sought to purposely ingrain into our hearts and minds such confusion. No, it was by default that we unknowingly adopted this anti-God ideology that […]
Written by Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.

By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Home educating mothers tend to be overwhelmed by two subjects in particular. Science and writing. OK. Upper level math too. Since I’m not much of a left-brained gal, I won’t be writing any posts about dead animal dissections or the wonders of […]
