The Fruit of Industrial Capitalism Perhaps industrial capitalism is more easily seen in the fruit of it’s labor. One could quickly point to the recent Walmart debacle and a dozen others like it. But if we look back to the beginning we see from the inception the same patterns. Think quickly of three of the…

Culinary Arts: Daughters in Training Share How To’s of Sourdough
We started by reading all about sourdough. Ever wonder what homemakers did before baking powder and commercial yeast? Sourdough would be the answer! By mixing flour and water and letting it ferment in at least 70 to 80 degree temps, you will be able to grow your own wild yeast. You may use potato water…
Training Future Homemakers: Transferring the Culinary Art Skills to the Next Generation
Meal planning and preparation is certainly an art as well as a science. I have been reading about sourdough bread and the science of the process was quite interesting. I have trying to make my own breads and with that in mind, I started with making homemade tortillas, now I am ready to move on…
Is Walmart Evil? – Part III Capitalism verse Industrial Capitalism
The Difference Between Capitalism and Industrial Capitalism After my long “discussion” on the lack of a Biblical foundation for the notion of federally authorized and created entity or “persons” commonly called corporations, I want to be clear that I am not against people making money. I’m not against capitalism as a political / economic system, I…
Requisites for Managerial Homemaking: Meals
No intelligent person would say that the care and feeding of a family is a small, insignificant job. It not only takes time and work, but careful thought out planning and preparation. It is to be expected that the homemaker is a meal maker extraordinaire. Be it a humble supper or gourmet meal, it need…
Homemaking Rethought
The feminist movement would have us believe that the life of homemaking is only for uneducated, low achieving, lazy women who do not have any ambition to do anything profound with their lives. In reality, the mother and homemaker, who do in fact throw themselves into the high calling of home, are far from uneducated,…

Doomed to a Life of Chicken Obesity
We received an early morning phone call that the package we ordered had arrived and was ready for pickup. Yes, there are some things the postman will not deliver and live baby chicks happens to be one of them. My husband had ordered a special breed of meat chicken to raise. It is a mixed…
Cheap Toddler Entertainment – Make your own spider web…..
I can’t complain. Since moving out to the country, the children have been in heaven with endless things to do and see. Not only have they discovered mysterious bugs, crystals and fossils in rocks, multiflorous plants but at the same time, pestilential vines and bugs, the joys of working the land and caring for animals,…
Baby Diaper Low Down….
Moms know that baby diapers are more valuable than most think. Just ask any mom who has run out of diapers when it is desperately needed! I don’t know any mom with diapered babies who doesn’t get excited about finding diapers for a really good deal. While I love cloth diapers, there is nothing that…

Real Homegrown Pumpkins and Barn Cats
There are still things in life that are real. I laugh when I read something on a food label that says something like “made with real cheese” or “contains real blueberries” — as opposed to made with “fake cheese” and “fake blueberries” — ohh wait, that is possible right! Well, these are our real pumpkin…
Think you had a bad day? Homeschooling mom of 12 in Germany Imprisoned
Germany Imprisons Mum. Dad and Kids Flee to Austria. Since Hitler banned home schooling in Germany back in 1938, many Christian families have been persecuted on their Biblical stand of home education. I have a great amount of admiration to these German families who have stood for what it right and still will not bow…
Is Walmart Evil? – Part II Corporations Continued
A few more lingering thoughts on corporations before we get to Capitalism. A corporation is a creature of the state in every sense of the word. It must have the blessing of the state to exist. It must play by the rules of the state according to the industry it competes in. Depending on the…
Fall Gardening with Garbage Plants
This year we decided to try year-round-gardening. This past spring/summer, the only things we managed to grow were tomatoes and marigolds and pumpkin plants. Today, I pulled the pumpkin plants we started a month or so ago being that the season has turned and is not providing them with the heat they need to grow.…
