Book Review: Summa Domestica: Order and Wonder in the Family Life
Leila shares her story, her philosophy, and her theology of home. She has some of the most down-to-earth parenting and marriage advice I’ve ever read. She talks about nursing and teenagers. She’s snarky and sarcastic. Seriously ladies, some absolutely solid parenting advice can be found in this book. She also covers homeschooling a bit and how to build a community.
Book Review: Songs of a Housewife by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Theology of Home II: The Spiritual Art of Homemaking by Carrie Gress, Noelle Mering
The general tone of the book, like the first book, was peaceful, beautiful, quiet, gentle and mothering (in a good way). It was a calm oasis in my day to stop and read a chapter at lunch.

Reading this book was a never-ending theological battle in the warmest, most beautiful, literally-brought-tears-to-my-eyes setting. It was like fighting an intellectual battle in Mom’s kitchen while she’s baking scones and the coffee is brewing. The coziness made it irksome to keep my theological shield up.
