The Christian Home Magazine Issue #129

Hello Readers!

I'm so excited to announce The Christian Home Magazine is back in print! Several years ago, The Christian Home Magazine was hosted by Mrs. White from The Legacy of Home. It featured encouraging articles by homemakers, for homemakers. With Mrs. White's blessing, we've revived it here at Classical Homemaking and I think you're really going to be blessed!

Each Friday, you'll be treated to several encouraging articles from Christian homemakers and young women at home. As you visit the blog of each contributor, please be sure to comment as well as pin and save articles from their sites, rather than this main magazine page. That way, you'll have easier access to the articles you want to reference in the future and those writers will have the blessing of repeat traffic from your pins.

Let us know how you like the new magazine!

Blessings,
The Christian Home Magazine Team

Hospitality

Do you have a desire to be more hospitable but insecurities are holding you back? Hospitality writer, Sarah Coller, has felt that way too. Read Some Thoughts on Hospitality for a little encouragement.


Stewardship and Finances

Stewardship and Finances writer, Laura Lane, shares her ideas for reusing jars. I'm super inspired to save my own jars now! Check out, Saving Money with Jars... Reduce... Reuse... Recycle... at Harvest Lane Cottage.


Young Ladies at Home

Young Ladies at Home Columnist, Lynzie Coller, shares her thoughts on a favorite Bible verse. Visit Thoughts From a Young Writer to read some encouraging notes on Joshua 1:9.

Entertainment

I'm always looking for a great historical fiction and it looks like Entertainment contributor, Laura from Harvest Lane Cottage, has found one! Be sure to read her review of Jocelyn Green's The Mark of the King.

Homekeeping blogger, Sarah Coller of Classical Homemaking, shares how she gave a special family heirloom a much needed update in DIY Vintage Heirloom Stool Makeover.

The Homemaking Party

Welcome to The Homemaking Party! Have you been having a nice week? I've been relaxing as much as I can but we've been struggling with sickness all week and would have much rather been doing something fun! We did go to the park for a little while on Tuesday---but I think it back-fired as I spent yesterday in bed! Now I'm well and my poor husband is the one in the sick bed today. At least we know it's a fast-moving bug! Ha!

Here's a letter I prepared for a pen pal last week. It's been so nice to just be in my home and do homey-ish things! I love writing letters by hand and sealed up with love. Anyone need a new pen pal? Message me---I'd love to correspond with you!

Want to read my new book? Here's your chance! My friend Laura from Harvest Lane Cottage is giving away a free copy of my study devotional, Now: Purposeful Steps Toward a More Abundant Life. Be sure to check out her blog and enter to win!

I'm also requesting prayers from my praying friends. I'm preparing to jump in to writing up my next study devotional and I'd really like some direction. I have so much information I'd like to share on the subject---but I want to keep it short and sweet like the first one is. Please pray that God would lead me to speak his words and share the messages that are important to him. I can get awfully long-winded. Ha!

Hope you're having a beautiful week!

Celebrating a Special Birthday with Friends -- Lynzie is 17!

Welcome to the Homemaking Party! It's been a happy week with one big event---Lynzie turned 17! We had a couple fun celebrations for her---kicking it off with this sweet party, hosted by one of her dearest friends. Lynzie (in blue) and Lucia (in purple) were the guests of honor, turning 20 and 17 in 2017!

Our friends really made the party special with lots of sweet tea treats...

...and napkins in these gorgeous flower and peacock designs. Lynzie loves peacocks!

More sweet treats for the girls to enjoy....

...and tea and petit fours to top it off!

The girls gave one another gifts and then did makeovers and photos. It was a fabulous day Lynzie won't soon forget!

Thanks for stopping by The Homemaking Party! Hope you're having a beautiful week!
