I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: homemaking is an art!

Whether you’re a mom with a full-time job, a side hustle, or a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM), there is happiness, purpose, and peace to be found in the special art of homemaking.

Here are just a few of the quotes that really explain how powerful it can be when a woman makes the home a welcoming space for growth, comfort, and love for the whole family:

“Everyone carries an atmosphere about him. It may be healthful and invigorating, or it may be unwholesome and depressing. It may make a little spot of the world a sweeter, better, and safer place to live in; or it may make it harder for those to live worthily and beautifully who dwell within its circle.” – J.R. Miller
“It was so wonderful to be there, safe at home, sheltered from the winds and the cold. Laura thought that this must be a little like Heaven, where the weary are at rest.” -Laura Ingalls Wilder
“That house… was a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or storytelling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear, and sadness.” – Source Unknown
“Blessed is the home of a woman who joyfully serves, offering gifts by the work of her hands.” -Time-Warp Wife
“She must look upon her home as the one spot on Earth for which she alone is responsible, and which she must cultivate well for God.” – J.R. Miller

For a little soul food each day, I spend about a half-hour or so perusing Pinterest for quotes like these. There’s something so peaceful and purposeful about getting back to the simple things in life and finding the written word that validates these topics.
