The Art of Home-Making Mondays ~ Please Join Us ~ Link Up #46

"Scorn not the homely virtues. We are prone
To search through all the world for something new;

And yet sometimes old-fashioned things are best—

Old-fashioned work, old-fashioned rectitude,

Old-fashioned honor and old-fashioned prayer,

Old-fashioned patience that can bide its time,

Old-fashioned firesides sacred from the world,

Old-fashioned satisfaction, with enough

Old-fashioned candour and simplicity,

Old-fashioned folks that practice what they preach."

~ Author Unkown

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, sewing, crafts, etc).~~ You are welcome to share as many posts as you like!

* Today we are featuring our sweet six posts from Last Week *

{I would love for you to choose at least one of these hand-picked posts and leave some comment love!}

1. Easiest Tortilla Chicken Soup Ever by Reviews, Chews & How To's ~ Crock pot recipes are always appreciated and this one looks very easy to make, shares normal ingredients and sounds tasty! 

2. Pantry Challenge by A Working Pantry ~ I am always inspired by the goings-on of Patsi's pantry. If you are a pantry-aholic like myself, then you will appreciate her practical projects and weekly goals.

3. Eight Things to Do When Sickness Strikes ~ This is a great post that shares ideas of how to treat illnesses safely at home. Especially good reading for new mothers!

5. Sacred Sabbath: Service in Marriage by Heaven Smiling ~ This author shares an absolutely heartbreaking video clip that will inspire you to love your spouse unconditionally. I couldn't stop crying as I watched it (to be honest, I was bawling).
