For several generations, feminists have actively subverted godly womanhood and redefined the priorities of daughters, pushing girls toward independence and indifference for the role that God has designed for them. Thankfully, many Christians are beginning to see the futility of the feminist ideal, yet this question must be clearly answered: Just what is “biblical femininity”?

Winter's Idyll

The poem takes place in what is today known as the John Greenleaf Whittier Homestead, which still stands in Haverhill, Massachusetts The poem chronicles a rural New England family as a snowstorm rages outside for three days. Stuck in their home, the family members exchange stories by their roaring fire.
What would you do to pass the time, if you were stuck inside for three days? And what do you do, to make this time of year a more memorable, pleasant time?
Sarah Ban Breathnach's book, Simple Abundance gives us some ideas on how to do this.... And in her own words, "We hope that you will be able to wrap yourself in the quiet spell of a winter’s idyll and find a cozy place by our hearth for your armchair dreams and adventures." Please visit her website and have a look around. She is truly, a fascinating woman... full of scrumptious ideas, and comforting notions, for every season of the year.
And here is my list of favorite things to do in the wintertime.

"There is one very excellent, necessary, and womanly accomplishment that no girl should be without." "Oh, what is it?" cried Rose eagerly. "Housekeeping!" answered Dr. Alec. From the book, Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott.

A good housekeeper is an executive officer, an accountant. She knows sanitation and hygiene; is a household physician and a nurse, she should have a social sense so as to make her family and guests feel at ease and happy.
~Mabel Kittredge, 1918
