A place of quiet & beauty for women.

Homemakers, mothers & homeschooling moms.

“When home feels heavy.”

“When you try to be thankful, but you’re also so tired.”

“When everyone seems to have it together…”

Here at The Haven of Rest, I hope to build a beautiful, quiet place for women to come to and find refreshing encouragement.

Here you will find real-life experiences, tips, ideas, and stories to glean from. With beautiful artwork, handmade by the most talented painters, to see and appreciate the beauty of all things real.

Hi there!

I love to encourage and inspire women.

As a wife and homeschooling mom of 5, I know how busy and overwhelming life can feel. Join me as I share bits of truth and encouragement to help you when you feel like it all gets too much

About the artwork

When I first started homeschooling our children, I discovered the beauty of picture study.

We would look at a picture and think about the painter, the people in the picture, how they might have felt, whether they were rich or poor, happy or sad.

I came to really appreciate beautiful, realistic artwork. The amount of effort that was put into it, the talent, the patience, the details. Especially with the rise of AI, I hope to encourage others to study “real” artwork. Fill your home with meaning and beauty.

NOTE: All artwork is in the public domain.

Why a Devotional Letter Subscription?

Today’s world is busy, loud, and demanding. I know many hardworking, homeschooling, homemaking women live in hidden isolation and feel unseen. People are there, but the pathway to friendship and encouragement seems far away. It’s hard to keep up, and there’s no human help in sight…

As a wife and homeschooling mother of five, I know how it feels when your world only seems to be shrinking. I want to come right alongside you and send you a real letter every month. So you receive monthly encouragement right to your door.
