| New LOV Home-Maker's Tips for 2010! As I was planning and pondering for the upcoming year I had the idea of passing on a weekly tip you may find encouraging and helpful in living as Ladies of Virtue. March we will be continuing our focus on ORGANIZING our home and home spaces. Read below for this week's tip. Remember to visit here each week for a new tip! Click on the "Joyful Homemaker" link at the left to read the past tips. If you have not so already I encourage you to download the study featured on the right side bar- "Managing Your Home- Part One". The study is a great way to begin the year. Happy home-making, your hostess, Mrs. Epple |
Ladies Of
Virtue is a
ministry to
encourage and
equip women in
their godly
vocation of
womanhood. We
gladly revel in our
distinct femininity
as defined in
scripture, a calling
that is often
contrary to our
current culture.
Our desire is to
promote the truth
that we each are
designed for
God's glory
having influence
on those around
us and for all
eternity. With
thankful hearts,
this calling is met
with an attitude
of living Life with
purpose and
passion.

| Home Management Tips "Organizing" "Order is the beauty of the home." Our God is the God of order. So, we in creating our homes should employ order in all we do. That may seem like a monumental task. Perhaps one that you may have given up on! Well, let us break it down in small steps... Spring is right around the corner so let us finish up one more large organizing project before we begin to "Spring Clean"! This week's tip is to sort through your recipes. There are many ways recipe cards can be creatively stored. Some day (not this week!) I would like to create a recipe journal or recipe scrapbook of family recipes. I would like to give one to each of my daughters (and daughters-in-law). But until I have time to undertake that project I would just like to organize my cards so that they are not overflowing in the boxes. I love to receive recipe cards in the giver's handwriting. When I pull the cards from their recipe box and begin to cook I immediately feel close and connected with the person that graciously shared their cooking secrets. I have had my recipes organized in two boxes: one for deserts and the other for entres. However, I have so many now that when I open the door of my Hoosier cabinet the cards start to tumble out! So my plan is to get several photo albums, the kind that you could slip a photo (or recipe) in its own individual sleeve and then journal or write a note beside each one. I will categorize the recipes such as Breakfast, Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Entres: Beef, Poultry, Seafood, Deserts, Cookies, Drinks, and Holiday Specials. In all honesty this may take me longer than a week but my goal and plan are in place- a good start! Enjoy these last Winter days with baking and let me know how your organizing is going.

Home Educators!!! Make this the Best Easter Ever!
Amy Puetz has written Countdown to Easter just for you.
Do you feel that the spiritual significance of Easter has
been overshadowed by commercialism? Do you see that
Easter candy and the Easter Bunny have become the focus
of this holiday? Are you ready to get back to the true
meaning of Easter?
Get ready to experience a new side of Easter—the one celebrated by people
for hundreds of years. Countdown to Easter has family friendly stories and
activities for every day from the Monday before Palm Sunday to Easter.
Imagine your family gathering each day, reading an Easter story, and then
participating in a fun activity. This can become a reality with Countdown to
Easter. The book is broken up into daily sections. Each day has a story and an
activity that should take about 30 to 45 minutes to go through.
Some of the stories included are:
•"Easter Eggs" by Christoph Von Schmid
•"An Easter Snow Storm" by P. Kitty Koudacheff
•"Finding Easter" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey
•"The General's Easter Box" by Temple Bailey
•"Harold's Happy Easter" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey
•"A Lesson of Faith" by Mrs. Julia Cowles
•"The Loveliest Rose in the World" by Hans Christian Andersen
•"Love Triumphant" by Florence Morse Kingsley
•"Miss Rebecca's Easter Blossoms" by Harriet A. Nash
•"The Nazarene" by Lew Wallace
•"Playmates in Egypt" by Elma Ehrlich Levinger
The delightful stories in this book were written in the 1800s and early 1900s.
Many of these stories have not been reprinted for many years and are just
waiting to be rediscovered by a whole new generation. Countdown to Easter
will appeal to a large age group, but children from 6-14 will probably enjoy it
the most. The activities include: crafts, cooking, riddles, quizzes, singing hymns,
games, and more. This book will help families grow closer together.
