Recent Deluxe Edition Updates!
The Price of ThingsBy Raejean Roberts
I love getting new stuff; new clothes, new scrapbook supplies, new things for the house, even groceries. There is a certain thrill of bringing home a bag of new treasures! Once I’m home, I take the treasures out of the bag, admire them again and
put them away.

"The Homemaking Cottage has been one of my favorite "simple pleasures" in my very busy life with my five children, a place to renew my mind and spirit for the rewarding but tough job of motherhood and homemaking. The wealth of information found in the Deluxe Edition is astounding. No matter what I am needing or in the mood for, I find. The articles are well-written with valuable, quality information.
Whether I need help organizing, meal planning, celebrating, or finding inspiration and advice when motherhood pushes you to the limits, I have found a trusted resource in the Homemaking Cottage."

"I was quite excited as this sounded like just my cup of tea! I'm an avid magazine reader and this site
was like have all the back issues of a great homemaking magazine at my fingertips. More than a magazine subscription, it was a subscription to not only what is written this year, but to all that has ever been written! It was a pleasurable week pouring through the many articles, but there were so many more I never even got to read.
There is a lot to this website and a subscription is quite a bargain at $36, about what you would pay for a premium magazine. But remember...you get to read ALL the information written for the site. User receive 24 hour a day access to the over 891 original articles/recipes/crafts and 20% off anything in the website store.
I spent most of my time in the Self Reliance section. This is a current interest of mine as my husband has asked me to help him get our family more prepared for emergency situations. The articles I read were not only informative, but practical. Plenty of wisdom to help me get started."

"The Homemaking Cottage bills itself as "a gathering place where homemakers share ideas for keeping home and family", and you will find more ideas here than you may be able to use in a lifetime, and a lot of support and encouragement as well from fellow homemakers! There are articles from women just like you and me, who come from all kinds of backgrounds, from stay at home moms to working moms and moms who work from home, homeschooling moms too! That makes it really easy to connect with women who are dealing with some of the same struggles you may be facing, and finding practical and easy suggestions and solutions for making your home a haven for your family.
In addition to being resourceful, the layout of the website is lovely and easy to navigate. All of the articles are divided into eleven subject headings, the links to which you can easily find in the right side bar. A few of my favorites, and the ones I frequented were, Family, Fair Lady and Holidays. I think overall, Family was probably my favorite, I got a lot of wonderful ideas for planning some fun evenings together with my family!
You can access many of the articles and resources I've referred to just by visiting, but to access all that this wonderful website has to offer, you'll need to register for access to the deluxe addition! The cost for a one year subscription is just $36.00, that's just ten cents a day to have all of these wonderful resources right at your fingertips! You might think that you could find similar articles and inspiration on your own, and perhaps you could, but just think of the time you'll save by having all of this information already categorized, organized and just a click away! You might be able to save a little money by doing it yourself, but what you won't save is time. However, if money is tight, as I know it is for so many families right now, they offer other subscription packages as well, which will provide you will a wealth of resources and ideas for living well on a limited budget."

In North Carolina the weather has cooled off and I naturally tend to gravitate towards reading and indoor homemaking skills like baking. It is cool enough outdoors here to open the windows and enjoy a gently cool breeze throughout the house.

It's that time of year when the leisurely pace of summer transitions into a more structured time filled with learning and extra curricular activities. Don't panic, new schedules can be made to help your family ease into the new routine. I used to be an "anti-scheduler" until I realized that I really did have a scheduled life, it was a loose schedule or routine, but it was structured nonetheless.
Devoting time to establish consistency and structure is often one of the biggest challenges that parents face when trying to teach responsibility to their children. Life skills are best learned by example and repetition, meaning that consistency is of utmost importance in building the skills that your children will need in the future in order to survive successfully in today's society.
Breakfast is the biggest and most important meal of the day. You need to make sure that your kids take in a proper breakfast to be able to give them the right amount of energy that they need for the entire day. When your kids sleep during the night, the body uses up the energy that is stored in the cells and a correct breakfast will allow the body to recharge and get a jump start for the rest of the day. Aside from this, studies prove that children who eat a good breakfast perform better in school and grow faster as well. Don't think that giving your kids just anything will do, there are certain things that are needed to ensure that your child's body is fueled properly.
Oatmeal an old favorite. Oatmeal is a healthy and delicious way to start the day and these quick breakfast ideas are simple and easy to prepare.
