Feature Article:

Homemade Sanitary Pads

A new look at an “old” solution. Men may fear this important subject, but ladies will be interested – and maybe a little surprised – at the history, “how-to’s”, and current experiences of tackling an age old problem with a common-sense approach from yesteryear. In today’s disposable society, it turns out not everything needs to be thrown away. Whether you embrace the idea or reject it, at the very least you’ll discover an option you may not have even known you had.

Columns:

Finding My Way – Dog Days of Winter

A little dog, a little girl, and the cold gray skies of January work together to bounce a middle-aged man back and forth between the extremes of laughter and tears as he learns some simple yet humbling lessons about how to love his fellow man, how to love his God, and the balance of power between the Creator and His creation. The lessons are easy; it’s the classroom that can be hard.

Penny Ann Poundwise – Making the Most of Your Food Budget

Terri Cheney maps out simple ways to keep the hungry masses fed without breaking the bank or taxing your mind with complicated schemes & strategies. From introducing new recipes, to managing snacks, to applying the “rubber chicken” theory to your cooking, find out ways to save money while making sure that the food you buy actually gets into the stomachs it was intended for!

Laine’s Letters – Working with What You’ve Got

Some folks today have new $30,000 kitchens even though they never cook. Some have beautiful homes that were decorated by someone else. Others have immaculate gardens that are tended by hired help and serve no function at all. What about your home? Are you embarrassed by it because it doesn’t “measure up”, or can you see past the “warts” and recognize it for the beautiful sanctuary that it really is?

Consider This – In Dependence

A disturbing look at how Americans of today are carelessly throwing away the hard-fought freedoms granted by the sacrifice of others in the name of convenience, entertainment, and fear. If we give our liberties away, who do we give them to? What will “they” do with them? And where does that leave us? Facts, speculation, and yes, even a little bit of paranoia all mix together in an exploration which ultimately leads to a conclusion that has nothing to do with any of the possible outcomes.

He Said / She Said – What’s for Dinner?

The man of the house graciously goes out of his way to give his dear wife some much needed advice on how to cook. Uh-oh . . .

Lose yourself in over 2 dozen articles written by men & women from around the country and even “across the pond”. Stories, recipes, inspiration, advice, poetry, self-discovery; even a little humor. Make some homemade laundry soap, play a game of softball, taste some bitter herbs, share some wise old sayings, check up on the homeschool movement, and downsize your kitchen. You’ll find all of it and much more in the March / April issue of Making It Home.

What is the magazine like?

Making It Home was conceived as a throwback to simpler times. We’ve tried to give it the look & feel of an early 1900’s periodical, with thicker paper than in most magazines you’ll find today. In an effort to give it a more graceful & elegant “Victorian” appearance, we use a high quality, off-white, non-glossy paper, an entirely black & white color scheme, and pictures & images that are intended to inspire. The magazine is approximately 60 pages in length, with no advertisements or classifieds.

Our writers are not professionals; they are real women who have not only “done that”, but are still doing it. They write from the heart, and their contributions to the magazine are entirely voluntary, with the intent of helping others by sharing their own experiences and perspectives gained through years of both success and failure.

Making It Home is a Christian publication, and the majority of articles are tied to scripture and the importance & rewards of following God’s guidance in our lives. Please read our Vision, Mission, and Priority statements on the “About” page; if you like the concept of the magazine and find that you also agree with our goals, you will probably enjoy Making It Home (our cancellation rate is less than 1%).
