Book Reviews of The Hidden Art of Homemaking
Book Review: A Good Homeschool "Text" for Home Ec/Art/Discipleship
Summary: 5 Stars
As homeschoolers for over 25 years, we have a bazillion books, but this modest volume is a treasure for homemakers and homeschoolers alike. Homeschool reviewer Cathy Duffy used our suggestion in her book that homeschoolers take a chapter per week or so, read it (older students manage just fine on their own), and then do practical projects that come to mind based on the theme of that chapter. If the student is responsible, they may suggest their own projects under whatever level of supervision or approval is reasonable for them. Younger students might work with parents and siblings on family projects. It is most suitable for high schoolers or mature middle schoolers, but moms could read it themselves and use it as a guide to develop lessons for slightly younger children.
Feel free to take longer if an area really grabs your interest - that's the time to capitalize on the spark!
Add discussion, short written work, such as essays or answers to the author's questions, a report if a student's interest is piqued on a topic (e.g., Japanese flower arranging, a history of sourdoughs, etc.) as you wish. The work may be as formal or relaxed as suits your family's style.
Don't forget that there is art even in baking bread, shaping it beautifully, and presenting it at the table in a basket - perhaps with an embroidered cloth.
Remember the author's wonderful spiritual emphasis throughout and use all your daily experiences in making a Christian home and passing on those skills as a ministry to your children and to others the Lord may bring your way to disciple. The things in our homes are temporary - except the souls of the people! God bless your learning adventures!
