What is the magazine like?

Making It Home was conceived as a throwback to simpler times. We’ve tried to give it the look & feel of an early 1900’s periodical, with thicker paper than in most magazines you’ll find today. In an effort to give it a more graceful & elegant “Victorian” appearance, we use a high quality, off-white, non-glossy paper, an entirely black & white color scheme, and pictures & images that are intended to inspire. The magazine is approximately 60 pages in length, with no advertisements or classifieds.

Our writers are not professionals; they are real women who have not only “done that”, but are still doing it. They write from the heart, and their contributions to the magazine are entirely voluntary, with the intent of helping others by sharing their own experiences and perspectives gained through years of both success and failure.

Making It Home is a Christian publication, and the majority of articles are tied to scripture and the importance & rewards of following God’s guidance in our lives. Please read our Vision, Mission, and Priority statements on the “About” page; if you like the concept of the magazine and find that you also agree with our goals, you will probably enjoy Making It Home (our cancellation rate is less than 1%).
