Sometimes in the day-to-day busyness of life, it is easy to lose the vision that we began our married life with. Mountains of laundry, morning sickness, noise, disappointments, financial setbacks, and messes can obscure the dream that we carried with us during newlywed days.

Keeping an eternal perspective in the midst of difficulties large and small can make all the difference in how we view our calling as mothers and homemakers.  Be encouraged that your labor is not in vain if you are making a home and raising children (eternal souls) for Christ!

Hi, I'm Joy!

I'm a homemaker and homeschooling mom of 5. For over 25 years I've been cooking from scratch and making homemade bread for my family of 7. I love sharing sourdough recipes, easy dinner ideas, and simple DIY projects for your home.

    I am very, véry encouraged by the book: 'Een vrouw naar God's hart' (a woman after God's own heart) by Elizabeth George. Maybe a book for you or your readers?Thanks for the encouragement!

    Those are very very true words!
    If we labor in vain it will all be for nothing and crumble down!
    If we do it all unto the Glory of our Lord Jesus it will be amazing and Blessed!

    In Him
