Jan. 24, 2008 - Homemaker-In-Training Thursday #2
Today I want to tell you about a really neat book that I had to read for school a while back. It is called The Hidden Art of Homemaking, by Edith Schaeffer.
Although I wasn't quite sure about some of the authors theories, I really enjoyed the diverse subjects the book talked about. It covers many topics that are more considered hobbies, than a part of homemaking, to most people today, but really can be useful in their proper places, and proper ways, in the home. Topics include, writing, interior decorating, drama, drawing, gardening, clothing, and music.
For instance, in the drawing chapter, Edith Schaeffer tells how she has used her drawing, to illustrate Bible stories to young children. She also asserts the importance of practice, just like many others. "Start somewhere."
I really recommend this book for those of you who would like to start a something, but either aren't sure if you would be good at it, or aren't sure if you have time, space, or money.
You can find this book at many of the booksellers online, such as Amazon, ChristianBooks, and Barnes & Noble.

Hmm.... I've never heard about that book, but as I was opening your page mom saw it and she's heard of it.

We have that book, and Breezy has read it, and said it was really good. I am planning to read it in the near future, or at least before I have my own home. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it sounds like quite an inspirational book.
I signed Mr. Linky and posted about keeping a homemaking notebook. :)
May God Bless,
