Life in An Old Farmhouse

Have you ever lived in a old farmhouse?  Have you ever wanted too?  Or maybe you still do.

A farmhouse must have a cast iron bed.

Farmhouse morning...can't you smell the coffee perking.

I hope you have enjoyed life in the old farmhouse.

It brings back many memories for me.

Farmhouse dishes are always mismatched.

Farmers wife...notice the sweet note in her pocket.

The old black phone on the wall with the finger dial.

We had one like this when I was a child. Does 

anyone remember the party lines?

August Happenings

Hello everyone!

Our summer was short lived, but we've enjoyed each day. I am not ready to let summer go but I see the signs of fall creeping in.

 How did your hydrangeas do? Mine started out beautiful until we received weeks and weeks of rain. The blooms started to turn brown on the ends and before long the flower would die.

I was able to put out a little raised bed garden, I have been missing the canning part of the gardening.
I think I will have enough to put up some salsa this week!

When we used to live in this 1817 farmhouse, I used to can all sorts of different things from the garden and from the fruit trees. (under the siding is a log cabin)  If you are interested, I could make a post on the life at this farmhouse.

Real life ...puppy paw prints all over the porch. 

 

Do you remember I was working on changing my bedroom?  Well, here it is!  

I love the simplicity of it all!

Until next time!  To God be all the Glory!

Wash Day!

Always Homemade

Walking down a gravel road to get your mail.

When life was simple and we kept in touch through letters.

Gentle breeze, warm sun, and fresh linens.

When he is home.....

Fresh lemonade always....

Dine in the field with him....dine the day away.

Intentionally Homemaking

Lately, I have been giving some deep prayer and thoughts towards my life, home and family.  In the past few months during a very busy time of our lives, I have found myself just getting things done and rushing to the next item on the list.  Accomplishment was the only focus I had by hurrying here and there.

After much thoughtfulness on home-making, I realized that home-making has to be lived intentionally each day.  Intentionally creating a lovely, joyful home atmosphere, simple living, and intentionally cherishing every detail.

  Even during my busiest moments, I must intentionally apply these things that I desire for our home and into our lives.  Intentionally getting back to simple basics of home and homemaking. 
Guarding my time wisely, because just like life once its gone there is no getting it back.

This life of homemaking, of a stay at home mom, of a wife, of a keeper of the home...Do it with passion intentionally.

Managing The Home

Here are some quotes from a 1907 book by Mrs Beeton Household Management. 

*One cannot have his money and spend it too. Money has a limited purchasing power.

* A penny saved is a penny earned: The wife/husband who will not count every penny, will never have her/his longing satisfied until she/he makes every penny count. 

*When a wife is an early riser it will contribute largely to good house management she who practices this virtue reaps an ample of reward both health and prosperity.

*When a wife rises early it is almost certain that her house will be orderly and well managed.

*Frugality and Economy are virtues without which no household can prosper.

We must always remember to manage well on a small income for it is highly creditable.

*Always managing little and turn it into more. When we manage small things well, we will be fitted for the management of greater things.

 * Do you arise early? Do you plan and schedule out your daily task? Do you make wise decision to spend the money wisely and frugality?  Is your home clean in order and well managed?  Our your meals planned and served on time? Is your children loved and well taught about God and manners?
