“…train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands*, so that no one will malign the word of God.” (Titus 2:4-5)

“Busy At Home” is what I will focus on here – that is where my interest lies, and when I focus on this part of my life I certainly feel the most fulfilled and happy. I hope to share some of the things I am learning about being a happy SAHM with you. Some will be personal reflections, and much will be very practical.

I am passionate about a few things:

  1. Cooking delicious healthy food for my family and friends
  2. Saving money – I am a penny-pincher in every way I can think of
  3. Keeping house - cleaning, organizing and the like
  4. Godly Character – faithfully living out the Word of God as best as I can
  5. Loving People – loving my family, friends, church, and strangers

This is what I write about. If it’s not your cup of tea – that’s fine with me! If it is take a look around – I hope you find some helpful tidbit to make your life easier, or just make you smile.

 

*It took me a long time to accept the “subject to my husband” part – but I have learned that our family is the happiest when I choose to let my man lead. One day perhaps I will expand on what I believe that phrase means in reality. If you are interested in the biblical point of view on being a wife I highly suggest the book “The Excellent Wife” by Martha Peace
