After 15 years of being in the work force, I am beyond grateful to be able to be a homemaker.

Being a homemaker and mother is more challenging and rewarding than any of the jobs that I held in that time.

Some jobs I excelled at and loved, but none of them were as meaningful.

[Lexy Sauvé @Lexy_Sauve]

A family and home is a woman’s greatest work of art.

Any other venture, skill set, or vocation she has can never rival her work there. They should all serve and submit to that one great work.

If she succeeds at secondary things at the cost of first things, she is a failure.

@smashbaals LOL

@lurkerwaves To clarify they were aggressive with other roosters, I don’t remember them being aggressive towards people.

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@lurkerwaves We got some a few years ago excited about the size but they turned out to just be normal sized chickens lol we were disappointed. They were average at laying but we got rid of them because we wanted bigger body birds. Also the roosters were very aggressive and fought a lot.

@VeiledGlory Rule by women. Matriarchal. The school Marms rule. lol

Genius!

If MREs are good enough for our troops, why not for welfare?

What if EBT was replaced with monthly MRE deliveries,

8 cases per person. No misuse. No luxury. Just food.

Needs met. Problem solved!

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@Brian_Sauve @PerfInjust @New_Christendom Yes, for those of us that couldn’t make it, when can we listen? Can’t wait!

[The Last Homely House @AHomelyHouse]

According to Saxo Grammaticus, in medieval Danish law when a foreigner slew a Dane, two foreigners must be put to death.

Disproportionate penalty was seen as justice because foreigners lacked the same kinship and legal protections (weregild) that Danes enjoyed, so the society mandated a harsher, collective penalty for them. They believed rulers owed their people an uncompromising deterrent to prevent outsiders from disturbing the peace or assaulting native Danes.

Something to think about.

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@mrsmeganeverly Yes. Public shaming is the proper response by our society, but not near strong enough.

The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@KeDIX1414 Dang. Yeah it’s a big mental hurdle to get over to think you can be active and trusting God at the same time. Yes online dating can be scary and dangerous but I did it with my dad’s involvement and much caution. Met the most amazing man! Married 3 years and expecting our 2nd!

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

I remember being in the circle of single Christian ladies and all of us feeling like dating online would be making an idol of marriage. Thank God for hearing Doug or Nancy Wilson say that singleness is an affliction and breaking through this mindset.

[bendell werry 🌲 @bendellwerry]

As soon as you hear “making marriage an idol” being used unironically you can feel comfortable disregarding the rest.

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@bebookled Yes! So affirming! Like obviously you need to steward any season of life but it’s so dismissive to the singles when they’re just told it’s a blessing. Singleness is not the default setting.

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@mrsmeganeverly I’ll be there in two shakes of a lambs tail!

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

Dresses.
I go thrifting every few weeks and only look for stretchy breastfeeding friendly dresses. Cold outside? Add leggings and cardigans. Hot outside? Dresses are way cooler.

[lia @tallsnail]

wardrobe management as a mother cycling through pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, random hormonal size changes, FOOT SIZE CHANGES, AND summer/winter seasonal changes is extremely discouraging

my husband teases me for my cluttered closet but i absolutely have not been able to figure this out. putting together functional and visually appealing outfits is very high-effort and it feels like i'm constantly reinventing - an outfit i love one month will be totally unwearable the next month

i.e. need a decade-long moratorium on jeans, need to just stop trying to buy them

@bendellwerry But Sasquatch Chronicles

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

Just had a talk with a friend today and we were saying how it’s no favor to women to burden us with leadership.

It would be much more loving for our Christian men to step up and tell us no. Women would be so much happier if they just focused on their homes and communities.

[Dale Partridge @dalepartridge]

We must save women from themselves.

Outlaw women leaders and voters.

They will call it misogyny, but it’s actually love.

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

Our church is so full of babies right now it’s amazing. 😍😍😍

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

I so wish I had been encouraged in domesticity. Even though my parents were traditional, I ended up being scared of motherhood, encouraged to go to college, and had to teach myself to cook. Learning domesticity in my 30s is a pleasure, but hard not to feel behind.

[mrs. bendell werry @bebookled]

There was a post going around about a mother losing her identity after having kids, but the secret shield for this being true of your daughters is to direct their interests towards domesticity from a young age (and this encompasses A LOT of talents, not just baking and sewing)

[Prairie Gem ✝️🎻 @PrairieMuffin]

@SpecterAndBride Good job
