Well known for nurturing homeschool families, Charlotte Mason also encouraged mothers to "do for themselves, what they do for their children, and who better to guide us into the skillful art of motherhood than Karen Andreola. Weaving together the philosophical writings of Ms. Mason, Biblical wisdom, and personal experiences, she gently and lovingly encourages women to embrace the call of motherhood and home making, while nourishing their own souls. Personal self-care habits, valuing your role as a stay-at-home mama, improving family relationships, marital harmony, and more are covered with gentleness through guiding principles, reflective questions and extensive notes and quotes. Whether a new mom or one farther along the journey, you will be encouraged and strengthened in your journey at home. Beautifully illustrated with vintage black and white drawings. ~ Deanne
Publisher's Description of Mother Culture
Mother Culture® is the skillful art of how a mother looks after the ways of her household. With a "thinking love" she creates a culture in the home all her own.
A mother does a lot of taking care, so she needs to take care of herself, too. As a mother is feeding and cultivating the souls of her children, she is nourishing her own soul with ideas, while taking a little time for her own play and creativity. Nourished and refreshed, she keeps growing closer to God and into the Christian woman God is designing her to be.
May you find the principles on these pages to be invigorating - especially if you have a low battery. May they strengthen you in your on-going efforts to create the happy home your heart desires.
