    22 - Cottagecore as a Framework for Life

    In this episode, we talk about how challenging it can be for modern homemakers to know how to build a healthy home and meaningful family culture. We share why we use the idea of a “storybook life” as our framework, and discuss the simple themes found in the cozy cottages we love in books and images. We explore how these ideas can shape daily rhythms, relationships, and homemaking — and why cottagecore is more than just an aesthetic. It can be a practical framework for everyday life. Here are the quotes from today's episode -  "The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only, and that is to support the ultimate career. We build factories in order to make boots. We make boots in order to keep people warm. We keep people warm in order that they may have health and leisure. And what do they do with their health and leisure? They are nourished and clothed and housed in order that they may have children. And they have children in order that the race may continue. The stages are plain enough: everything exists for the sake of the family. If we forget this, we shall do much mischief.” — C. S. Lewis, “Is Progress Possible? Willing Slaves of the Welfare State” (1958) ___________________  “Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.” -Margaret Nadauld  ___________________ “When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses?”⁠. -Neal A. Maxwell
