The Art of Home-Making Mondays ~ Please Join Us ~ Link Up #35

"The house was clean and there was a smell of cooking in the air... A cake-- the spices filling the kitchen with richness-- sat on the table. Beans bubbled in a pan, a roast was cooking in the oven. It felt like home; like a place some woman loved..."

~ Loula Grace Erdman, Excerpt from The Wide Horizon

There are so many wonderful features in the making of a home. This is a place where I would love for you to share your love for anything home-related. Homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading are all a part of the lovely art of home-making!

~~Please link up posts in the spirit of Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 (such as recipes, godly encouragement, DIY's, frugal living, child-raising, medicine making, preparedness, gardening, home decoration, school lessons, crafts, etc).~~ You are welcome to share as many posts as you like!

Save Money by Buying Whats on Sale and When this Year by Faith Filled Food for Moms ~ Shari Lynne shares some excellent information on when is the best time to purchase and stock up on products during the year for the best deals (such as pantry items, school supplies, dairy products, etc.).
