A letter from Shiloah's Dad:
I am very proud of my oldest daughter for her contribution of spiritual knowledge and homemaking ideas. She has been an inspiration to me and my other 3 daughters. I love her beyond measure and thank God everyday for the blessing of being her father.

I feel like God the Eternal Father has shined his most choice blessings on me in my life. I have dedicated my life to him and my family. I only pray the all fathers and mothers catch the vision of raising a noble posterity.

Love, Dad

I was just searching around online and I found your site. I really like it! I am LDS also. Your site first caught my attention because the name of my business team is called Stayin Home and Lovin it. So, I thought maybe it was for that. But to my delight and surprise I found your site. It is great, I have bookmarked it to come back often. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.

Your Site.....  Is WONDERFUL!

Shiloah,

I love your site! It is so cozy and has lots of wonderful information!!!  Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this great site,

-Darlene

Hi!  I found your site through a friend at work who asked me to make her a corn bag.  (I brought mine yesterday to help heal a back injury, and now I have orders for six!)  I'm a single girl, living with my mother, and I spend a great deal of time keeping our house comfortable and clean.  The information on your site is INVALUABLE for someone who wants to save time and money while creating a sanctuary at home.

And I salute you personally for being able to keep up with a home, a marriage, a website, a strong spirituality, AND five children. My mother, who didn't work full-time until I was ten (I'm the baby of the family), had a plaque in our old house that said "every mother is a working mother."  It certainly is true, and I applaud you for developing the skills to manage your time and maintain a positive outlook.
Bright blessings to you and your family!

-Ashleigh M. Etheridge

Just wanted to thank you for this website. I have found a wealth of information that has helped in more than one subject. I admire you for putting this together and keeping up with your family responsibilities. No need to respond. Just wanted to you to know you are appreciated.

-Allison Jones

I just wanted to say thanks for creating this website.  Although I'm not LDS, I am a stay at home mother and a homemaker, which I feel are my most important jobs.  I feel the information in your website widely pertains to all of us.

-Christi Leach

I'm not sharing any ideas as I am new to this calling but I just wanted to thank you so very much for this wonderful web site!  What a great resource for so many sisters.  You have earned blessings in heaven for sharing your talents with us!

-Deena B
 

I just happened upon your site.  I think it is great and wanted to say thanks for sharing.  I have just been called as a counselor in Relief Society, and have been searching the internet for ideas and accidentally happened upon this site. I loved it.  Thanks again.  No need to answer, just wanted to let you know you are doing a great service.

-Sharon Johnson

I love your website, it is by far my absolute favorite.

-Jaelle Kaylor

Thank you so much for your website.  I have enjoyed it so much.   Being a new Homemaking leader, I was scared to death, but your website has helped me so much with my calling.
Thanks again, and God Bless you

This is just a thank you to you ladies for creating such a wonderful web site! Everything is perfect! One night I was feeling really low and depressed and unsure about this housewife gig. :) Normally a girl would go to her mother over such a thing. But I can't, because she has past on. So, the other night when I was feeling down I went on line and typed in the word housewife and your site came up.  I read through it and felt much better about the important role I take part in everyday! So thank you once again for a pretty and inspiring site.

-Tiffany P

I am so excited I found this website!! I am doing a senior project on 72 hour kits and emergency preparedness and I found all the information I have been searching for on your website!! The funny thing is,  I was reading one of your pages and I grabbed my mom and I told her that you guys had to be LDS. But she didn't believe me. But then I read an article about what the first presidency said for us to do and I knew it! I'm so happy i found this website because I want to base almost all of my information off of what the church says and this is perfect! (By the way, I am LDS too if you didn't figure that out!) Once again thank you so much for the help!

Thank you, Megan Fisher

Thank you for your beautiful website. As a society, we have really given the power of Christmas over to Santa and forgotten God. It is really challenging to find any true Christmas cards this year. Even when we write Xmas, we leave out Christ.  Congratulations on caring to send your Christian message to the world!!! God bless you

This is a very nice website.   You have put lots of work into it and it shows. I love all the recipes.   Good job.

-Pearl Boggs

I have used many of the ideas on this site with my children and would love to have even more activities and ideas for them.  I enjoy the recipes, crafts, and gardening sections.  I also really enjoy the ideas about thriftiness.  Last year, I used the idea of making bean bags with old pinto beans as a Christmas gift for my boys.
 

-Karinda Wieland

This site is so important to me because it shows me that staying home and being my husbands helpmeet is a very important task.  I want to be the best helpmeet that I can. Since I had no training at all in any of the domestic areas, I really enjoy sites that can help me improve in this area of life.  My children need to learn how to live in a happy Christian home from my example, and this site teaches me how to provide that for them. Thank you for all your hard work!

-Nancy Bobbert

I just found your site. I have enjoyed reading all the homemaking pages so far and would desperately like to learn more. Thank you for offering just a great resource as a Christmas gift.

-Dawn Shumate

You have a wonderful setup here, I have used so much of the information that you have put up on your site. I always enjoy coming back to read some more and take notes. I am always looking for frugal recipes and different things that I can do for my children. Your site has so much to offer.

-Shelley Beth Stevenson

First of all, the web-site is beautiful.  I love the homey feel. It is a perfect blend of instruction and inspiration. I also think that being able to sit down with a cup of tea and read through everything is a balm for my soul.  It helps confirm that what I am doing has meaning.  Thanks for the wonderful site!

-Kiri Miller

 

I get so much inspiration and a feeling of fellowship from visiting this site.  I read and reread articles written by likeminded women.  It's unusual to find other wives and mothers devoted to making their homes "havens" like I am.

-Amy Ramos

I am always looking for new ideas and suggestions, that are clean and in good spirit.  I enjoy coming to this site and looking around.  I tried several of the recipes.  It has wholesome goodies/ You don't have to worry about the content that is being seen.  my son and I get on here sometimes and look at the Christmas ideas and recipes and crafts.

-Sandra Shumate
 

I like finding recipes and stories to use.  I use some of the ideas for some of my callings in church. I also like the decorating section.

-Jessica Glass

Hello, I am not LDS, nor am I a SAHM, anymore, but as a busy single mother, I was looking for website's to enrich my home life and bless my family. Homemaking cottage is beautiful to look at and full of fun information, and understanding. I was especially happy to read an article by another self-proclaimed creative who doesn't get a thrill from cleaning, but knows it has to be done.  Keep up the good work!

-Jill

Thank you for this wonderful site. I can not wait to join the deluxe site for even more wonderful, uplifting articles. Please keep up the fantastic work. My all of you be Blessed for enriching women's lives and being a positive influence for being stay at home mothers and wives. Thank you again,

-Marlene Milan

I just want to say while surfing net I came upon your lovely site and read some poems. Thank you for the few tears and the peace your site gave me. Hugs all rough from a Grandmother in Tassie.

Thank you Shiloah.  I enjoy the links.  Lots to see.  I love the Homemaking Cottage.  It was nice to see who you are who created so much.  It is good to see the face behind the name.

-Linda in Texas

I absolutely love your web site. I am a stay at home mom of 3 beautiful children, and I appreciate having a web site like yours to go to for tips, advice, and ideas for having some fun!!!!!

-Tammy Amaimo Port Lavaca, Texas


 

I love it to come for peace of mind sometime just for me time, to look through the ideas and enjoy the reading. I love the wealth of information and it inspires me to reach for more when I feel like I cant!

-Brenda Clark

So many good ideas!  And things that I can implement even on little income.  Plus, ideas that make me feel that sometimes I'm doing so much without things I would need or like. 

-Cheryl Hall

I love to new ideas to get the family involved in things and also to share them with other families in our Branch (and outside the church).  You have the best ideas here and are so, so talented.  I know I can always find something good here!  :)

-Lorelei Dean

The articles help me a lot. I have 5 boys and a baby girl and I've learned a lot about organization, family ideas etc.

-Jamie Arnett

I love reading your blog and learning some new skills to try to introduce to my home.  I love how crafty you are and wish I had the same skills.  I guess I come here to learn, but mostly just to ooh and aah over the things that this site offers.

-Linda Walsh

I love the wonderful ideas here!  It's down to earth and easy to understand.  I was amazed at the amount of information which is new to me as well.  Many times you find a website that has a different look but all the same things you've seen on other sites.  Your site is different.  Thank you for such a wonderful, information packed and useful site!

-Tammy Northrup

Many thanks for including the scripture readings for each day throughout Advent.  I plan to use these in this year's Advent Calendar I make for my grandchildren. It's a wonderful way to prepare for the birth of our Savior.

-Carolyn Hunt
 

It is like a touch stone.  A place you go to to uplift, get ideas, get the creative juices rolling and just connect the thoughts and feelings of women.

-Joi Allerton

 

I have found the information pertinent and enjoyable, and in-keeping with my LDS values. I love the organized flow of the website, and the graphics are truly beautiful.  I love helping contribute the occasional article when I've learned something useful to pass on to others. I feel uplifted just visiting the site!

-Valerie Steadman

I found you when I was doing some research on fugal living through the web.  I love the ideas, recipes & great information that I have gleaned and used.  Thank you & blessings this Christmas season.

-Kristine Farley

I enjoy the encouragement that there are other mothers like me out there.  We don't have many families in our area that we have anything in common with.  I also enjoy the homemaking idea, recipes and blog.

-Salena Morgan

I am new to your site... and I wanted to tell you that after about 10
minutes of looking around, I have fallen in love with your site. This sight
is full of wonderful ideas and words of wisdom and hope. I have had so many questions and concerns about every day life, and your site will help me with my household, family, and myself. Such an inspiration! Thank you very much for this site, it is a Godsend!

 -Rebecca Wendorf

I am wring this as a review of the homemaking cottage website.   I love
it!  It is amazing.   I am a S-A-H-M (Stay-at-home-mom) to three kids.  Everyday at least one or twice a day I have to go to it.  I like the set up of the pages and it has great recipes.  Keep going, Shiloah!
