Join me over at Keeper of the Home today where I review two marvelous little cookbooks that will not only give you loads of amazing soup and salad recipes, but will teach you all kinds of important tips and tricks to making them. Head on over and learn more!
By Contributing Writer, Kim Doebler While thinking back over the many lessons I’ve learned to create a smoother running home, I realized three of my top tips have come from the mouth of my husband. Perhaps I remember them so well because I balked at the idea of each of them. Although I balked at […]
By Contributing Writer, Marci Ferrell Several years ago when my daughter was married and we only had my son living at home with us, a Christian friend of mine asked me what I was going to do now that my kids were grown. I didn’t hesitate but answered that I was going to continue to […]
By Contributing Writer Marcia Wildwerding If you know me at all, you know I have an aversion to housework. It’s not that I’m lazy; I’d just rather be doing other things. I do not hold to the noble view of cleaning house as a mission endeavor. I am no more righteous when my tub is […]
By Contributing Writer, Tyanne Let me start by confessing I have not been looking forward to writing this post. When I received the schedule of topics for this year at Visionary Womanhood, the thought of writing about spring cleaning and home organization was one more reminder among dozens that I do not have it all […]
By Contributing Writer, Terry Covey Do you have the right personality for home management? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Have you ever felt like you just weren’t cut out for all this cleaning, organizing, maintenance, and more? I can relate! It took me ten years of home management to realize that I just […]
By Contributing Writer, Kelly Crawford “Remember the principle of gardening: a lot of sweat and tears are required before the reward of harvest. It’s the same with mothering.” A reader sent me an email that is not unlike many that I receive, so I decided to include an excerpt and answer it here in a […]
This month on Visionary Womanhood we will be focusing on spring cleaning and home organization. Some Wemmicks really love this stuff. Others, not so much. Some readers will be cheering and taking copious notes; totally energized and ready to tackle their homes. Others will groan and press the delete key in hopes of also miraculously […]
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood How often do you read a book and find yourself highlighting things on almost every page? I try to read while I’m walking on my elliptical machine, but I couldn’t multi-task in that way with the book I’m reviewing for you today. Why? I had to keep stopping to […]
“Discontentment is basically saying, “I don’t like what You’ve provided, God. I deserve better.” Discontentment is rooted in ungratefulness. Think of how you feel when you provide good things for your children, and all they do is complain. It’s ugly, right? It’s a victim mentality. I believe God wants us to come at this from […]

Potty Training: Mom of Nine Tells All
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Potty Training: A Necessary Evil I’ve been potty training for 16 years now (well, not me—but, you know—my kids) and have succeeded, during that time, in potty training four girls and three boys so far. I won’t tell you how much poop and pee I’ve cleaned up from walls, […]
Help! Pregnancy is Making My Body Fall Apart!
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I received the following e-mail recently: My husband and I are in the long slow process of changing our thinking about family size. We are currently expecting our fifth little treasure, and we are so grateful, and excited. And a little scared sometimes, too, haha. :) Our oldest is […]
Ten Criteria for Choosing Homeschool Curriculum
By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore This is the time of year that I’m cleaning out closets, donating or swapping books with other homeschool moms, and also making purchases. As homeschoolers we are blessed to have so many options out there, but what works for one family may not work for another. Also, there are so […]
Demystifying the Institute for Excellence in Writing
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 […]
By Contributing Writer, Carmon Friedrich 25 years. We are coming up on that many years of homeschooling our children. Almost a quarter century! That’s not long enough to consider ourselves pioneers in this endeavor, but it does mean we have “seen it all” minus the persecution of the brave folks who forged a path that […]
By Contributing Writer, Kimberly@Raising Olives Four small children romp around me as I will my pregnant self to do the next thing. Two diaper changes. Four little ones dressed for the day. Breakfast for six. Wipe four small faces and eight small hands. Wash dishes. Stop to nurse the baby and change two more diapers. […]
Medical vs. Natural Childbirth: A Personal Story
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Twenty years ago I was pregnant with our first baby and determined to have a mid-wife and experience pregnancy and birth in the most “natural” way possible. Nineteen weeks into the pregnancy I began to spot a little. Since I could feel the baby moving and had no […]
Eating the Placenta: A Christian Worldview Perspective
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Placentophagy, the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth, is a subject of some interest among Wemmicks these days. After googling it, I only found one other “voice” out there raising the question of whether or not it is a morally viable option for those who claim […]
