 Hello, Beautiful Homemakers!

 


Today I am reading chapter 3 of the book Beautiful Homemaking by Charlene Johnson, and the title of the chapter is also "Beautiful Homemaking."

I had linked this short story thinking it was by Grace Livingston Hill, but it was actually by her mother Marcia Livingston, and her aunt Isabella Alden, who were sisters, and Grace's writing mentors.

I also had mentioned Myka Meier's book Modern Etiquette Made Easy. (Amazon affiliate link)

I bought this book since it goes into depth on the four areas, with color pictures, and I wanted to know more.  I was skeptical of her test and felt that the questions weren’t clear enough, so I took the test several times on different days, and again after reading each of the four sections of her book.
