I am in Jacksonville, Fla. I find your writings very uplifting and encouraging. I wish I had had access to them while I was raising my sons as I often felt that I was the only one who wasn't working outside the home. My youngest is leaving for college in two months so now I keep hearing, "What are you going to DO?" Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I'm glad I have blogs like yours to gain insight from.

Hello Lydia! I'm viewing from Germany where I live. *waves*
I live in Berkeley Springs, WV. I've been an avid reader since Spring, 2005, when my sister showed me LAF as a joke.
I had been convicted about women's roles for some time and I read the articles with interest. I found it fascinating that the site had articles that were quite serious and weren't just about children and housekeeping (no offense intended, but I was college-bound and had no interest in those things).
My theology was/is quite weak so I decided to give your ideas a trial run; I wore dresses for two weeks. After that I hated pants and haven't worn them since.
College was a huge adjustment. I'd been homeschooled since first grade and had the added burden of not knowing how to deal with the stereotyping and labeling that my skirts brought me. A good many of my teachers did not like it when I expressed my beliefs. One thing I'll always remember is the day in my ed class when we discussed sex ed, I demanded of my classmates, "Where is your sense of childhood innocence?" and all I got were blank stares.
I didn't become dresses-only until I was 19 and it has been on of the hardest transitions of my life. It was an easy decision for me to make but I didn't realize that such a simple change in wardrobe would bring out such adverse reactions in people.
I know this probably isn't the type of response you were expecting, but a thank you note has been long overdue. LAF and this blog have been lifesavers for me. It's been horribly lonely to be the only dresses-only person I know at my school, but your sound advice has helping me get through it and now I'm the happiest I've ever been.
Thank you for everything,
Charity

HI, I come by occasionally to browse. I'm in the western part of North Carolina.

Charity, I don't know why people act so snobbish about skirts and dresses. If we aren't supposed to buy them and wear them, why are they in the shop windows and in all the stores? Why don't the college profs and students go to those stores in the malls that have skirts and give them the same sarcastic treatment?
Welcome everyone! It is fascinating to see where you are all viewing from!!
I'm from Austin, TX. I often read, and though I don't comment, you always give me something hearty to think about.

Hello Mrs. Sherman,
I am from south Alabama!
We live near Mt. Shasta California. I found out about your site through "Ladies Against Feminism." I can't quite remember how long it's been since discovering LAF, at least 5 years, maybe more. I love your site!
HI, I also recently found your blog and enjoy reading it since. I live in Easten Europe, Estonia, in capital Tallinn. My views are changed a lot after been acquainted with biblical wiew of marriage and I must agree, some people may find it hard to agree. Especially in a place where homeschooling isn´t popular, these wiews doesn´t seem to be so widely known, even within christian circles. Although our country rather recently got the independence back and dived into the western world, our nation views, our society, as far as it seems to me, are very modernised, and feminized so quickly. I find it really sad, that people don´t appreciate old ways, that were the way the were for a reason, anymore.
Many blessing to blog writers and also readers!
Strength for the road!

I love your Ladies Against Feminism site, except for one thing. It isn't updated nearly often enough!
Hi,

I'm a reader who checks for new posts nearly everyday, here in Chandler, AZ. I just love your blog, all the pictures and the wonderful topics of discussion. I especially appreciate the validation and encouragement you ladies give to being a homemaker. I'm usually met with condescending attitudes or disdain when people find out that I "only" work part-time, or previously (before the blessing of my part-time job), that I "don't do anything". It's so good to hear other, wiser, women speaking of being a homemaker as the beautiful, joyful thing I know it to be.
I am from Jacksonville, Florida raising two beautiful daughters. After working full time since a teeneager, I am trying to become the best homemaker and Mom that I can be. Thanks to your website and others, I am gaining knowledge and inspiration in my journey... thank you!!!!

I am Mrs. Fathima, Indian Muslim, Living in UAE, I wanted to know about american culture so I browsed the net. LAF and then your Blog have been a refreshing contrast and bring out the pride, beauty and dignity of the US culture which we have read in our School Books. I am espescially fascinated by the Pioneers who came and created a new vibrant civilisation from the amalgamation of different cultures and Races. Of course the work culture and respect for all kinds of professions in America is what attracts the most talented and accomplshed people from all over the world including India to even leave their dear and near to come to America and settle here.
Thank you for giving a different perspective of American Civilization which is more attractive to us.
With Kind Regards and respects,
Mrs Fathima
I check your blog as often as I can. I am from the Portland, OR area. I had always felt that a woman's place was the home. I love reading your blog because now that I am facing a rather empty nest I know that I am still needed at home by my husband, and the kids know where to find me when needed. Thank You!
Dear Mrs. Fathima,
I am so glad you found us. I don't know what we did to deserve it but we were banned by the Indian government.

What a thrill to hear from you all. We are so isolated as homeamkers these days as so many women are in the workforce, away from home. It is like finally getting to talk over the fence about home life.
Will the ladies who are viewing from Malta, Greece, Turkey, Russia, and France, please post and say Hello? If you are hesitant, you can post anonymously. I see you on my stat counter which only reveals the countries.
Hello Lady Lydia and all the other ladies out there! I am amazed at the number of enthusiastic homemakers out there! My home is in the Low Country of South Carolina where I live on a farm with my husband, almost 2 year old daughter, and await the arrival of our son in just 6 more weeks!!
Thank you for your inspiring articles!

I'm in Breese, IL. (A little tiny town east of St. Louis.) I wish I'd found this blog when I was a SAHW! Now that I'm a SAHM of 2 (ages 2yrs and 10mos) I find that I owe a lot of housekeeping debt from those prior years. I had no mentor to train me in homekeeping. So now I'm learning on my own...that is to say, with MUCH help from blogs like this one! Thanks!
Martha,
I'm here in Wisconsin. I really enjoy your site and have often found inspiration in what you have written. Thanks!
Hi Lady Lydia
I really enjoy reading your blog. You have some really nice postings especially about the wife staying at home and female modesty. I myself am actually a convert to Islam from Christianity. But we share many similar beliefs such as that in Islam modesty is very important to us for both females and males (see Quran Chapter 24 verse 30-31) also we believe that the best place for a woman is in her home taking care of the house and her family. By the way I'm here in Chelmsford in the UK. Just thought I'd let you know :)
p.s I do not mean to cause any offence in this comment only to show how our religions are similar. God willing there will be a time where we can all live in peace
I am viewing from Florida. I am so glad you wrote "Just Breathing the Air", because I remember a post you made a while back about growing up in Alaska...I ordered a copy and can't wait to receive it!
Hi, I'm your long time reader from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Originally I'm from Russia.

I am writing from Quincy, IL, just eight blocks from the Mississipi River. Thank you so very much for taking the time to encourage myself and so many others. I check your blog everyday and it has given me so much inspiration and, yes, the courage to keep going on. I'm a better wife, mother, keeper at home, and homeschool teacher because of the things you have taught me.
Wow, it's amazing to me that there are 4 other Idaho readers: Boise, Kuna, Lewiston and Moscow. I am from the Coeur d'Alene area. To make the state readership complete you just need a reader from the Pocatello/Idaho Falls area!
Thanks for a wonderful blog and what a wonderful way to spread the gospel!
(I'm cyberisme from the Beautiful Womanhood forums).
Dear Lady Lydia,
Yes, I was also surprised to hear that your blog has been banned, maybe its a case of mistaken identity or red tape or something. It is a very strange thing to happen, because India as a whole is very tolerant towards all religions. Hopefully, this problem will resolve itself soon.
With Kind regards,
Mrs Fathima.
Greetings from Finland! I read your blog everyday. I consider myself a homemaker eventhough I do have a part-time job. I work about 10 hours outside of the home and 2-6 hours from home (in a week). One day I hope to be a full time housewife (and mother). This blog is a great source of encouragement and also practical tips! Thank you!
Hello, I think my comment didn't get posted but I will try again. I'm writing from Lisbon, Portugal and I'm a stay at home wife and mother. I know I'm doing the right thing but I do feel very lonely because I only know a few women in my country who stay at home but all of them say that they would prefer to work outside the home.
Thank you for your work. It is very important to me.

My Dear Lady Lydia,
How wonderful to read all of the glowing comments from so many diverse places.
What words of encouragement I have received over the years from your webiste and LAF.
Thank you for helping me to enjoy my calling as a SAHM through your postings. I often print the articles to read while I am waiting in a doctor's office to see something useful and uplifting.
The photos on your blog are always beautiful and your words are filled with love for a vocation you seem to enjoy as well.

Hello from Rhode Island, USA (interesting to read about traditional Portuguese, as my two grandmothers were, and were excellent examples of contented industrious homemakers).
Hello. My name is Machelle, and I just found this blog today but have been reading it and enjoying it. I've also read your articles on LAF and find them inspiring, especially the article about how teenage girls should dress properly. I'm 17 and it's hard to find clothing that I'm not ashamed to wear. the clothing you suggested was beautiful.

Hello Lady Lydia
I am a relatively new reader of your blog and love to regularly read your Ladies Against Feminism site...I am a homeschool Mama of four precious blessings and we are New Zealanders.THANK YOU for all that you do to encourage and inspire those of us who are trying to live a life of old fashioned ideals that are pleasing to God.Now a days society at large is very much opposed to our beliefs and you can feel isolated , so sites like yours are wonderful!....
Blessings to you from beautiful Sonora, CA!

You might consider putting a ClustrMap in your sidebar ( http://clustrmaps.com/index.htm ). It shows dots of all the places from which your readers come.
Sherry thanks so much for the hint. I'll see if I can figure out how to do that. God bless you all.
Hello Lady Lydia! I'm Sophia and I've already written to let you know how much I enjoy your writings, and what impact they have on myself, as well as the impact you may have on those who may come here to learn why women might want to stay home. I currently live in Baltimore Maryland. One thing that might be nicely served by the ClustrMap mentioned is that we might be able to see if we have a neighbor who is a kindred spirit. As mentioned, we can often feel alone, and it would be a wonderful thing to find someone close by to share our lives with.
All my best to you, wonderful lady!

I stumbled across the Ladies Against Feminism website a couple of years ago, and have been reading it ever since. Ditto for this blog once it went up, and I've greatly enjoyed them both.

Hi,
I'm a little late! Victoria here, wife, mother, grandmother from Central California. Love to read your blog. Thank you!
Waving from Portugal too: from Sintra, near Lisbon.
I began to read you at LAF some 2 years ago, maybe.
About woman at home: in Portugal nobody works at home anymore (almost nobody). I keep saying not working outside is so important and dignifying for a woman but everybody looks at me as I was an alian. I'm quite used to that because, as a strong catholic, my ideas are always opposing the world mentality, so most people find me rather strange.
I work outside my home because I have such a good income but I'm always saying that it's only because of that. If you could see the looks of other people when I say that!- they wanted me to say I work outside because I think is more interesting that staying at home. And because I say I don't agree with them, I'm strange.
My mother used to work since she got married and only stoped some years ago to take care of my ageing grandmother - and she was quite ill. Now, that my grandnother went to live with God, my mother didn't go back to the work force and helps me to raise my children.
Sorry for the long post.
Thank you so much for this blog. It is beautiful. I am a regular reader. I am from St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
