Hearts at Home

Mother: it's the hardest job you will ever do. It comes with no salary, no training, and no time off. That is why Hearts at Home is so important. Founded in 1994, Hearts at Home exists to encourage women in the profession of motherhood. We do this in several ways including conference events, a bi-monthly magazine, an interactive website, a line of books, and other mothering resources designed just for you!

We know that being a mom is a wonderfully rewarding job. But we also know it is often a thankless job.  Hearts at Home desires to change that. We want moms to understand their God-given value and the important role they play in society. We also want to give them a much-deserved pat on the back. More than anything else, we want women to think of motherhood as the profession that it is.

We hope you enjoy our Web site. Sit back, grab a cup of tea, and find out about an organization that can encourage, educate, and equip you to be the best mom you can be!

What do you get when you combine higher gas and grocery prices with the cost of school supplies, activity fees, new school clothes or uniforms, and book rental fees?

Right-an almost empty wallet. And even if you have savings to help cover extra expenses, you probably want to build up that savings account again as soon as you can.

There are ways to lower household expenses so you can live within a budget, and even save money. Our grandparents called it thriftiness, and considered it a virtue.

We just call it resourceful management.

I have been trying to accomplish things today. So, I let my kids play somewhat unsupervised. They in turn make messes, and I get upset. During their quiet time today, I read the following excerpt from Rattled, Surviving your Baby's First Year Without Losing Your Cool by Trish Berg. It struck a chord and was a reminder I needed. Hopefully it will encourage you as well!
