IN A WORLD THAT DESPISES THE WORK OF THE HOME . . . LEAN IN.
Mouths need feeding, food needs cooking, dishes need drying, tables need setting, so why not embrace it?
Let's rejoice in this work instead of moaning about it or feeling offended by it. (Not only is this approach more obedient, it's quite a lot more fun.) Let's do the work, let's do it well, and let's make it lovely.

Dish Drying Stone
Now available in two designs! This drying stone is made from diatomaceous earth, which is a powder of tiny, fossilized sea creatures. It is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal, as well as being unbelievably absorbent.
It's time to toss the sad, soppy dishtowels that are molding under your dripping dishes. Set this stone next to your sink instead and place all your freshly washed dishes on it to drip dry. Not only is the stone more effective, but it does the job while looking pretty!
The search for the perfect kitchen towel...
"The life of a dishtowel in my kitchen is quite tough.
I have better things to do than coddle my linens. Only the strong survive. But that seemed to leave me with a collection of sturdy but boring (or downright unattractive) towels.
I wanted fun dishtowels - cute dishtowels - splashy dishtowels - the kind you want to display in the kitchen. But I also wanted people to be able to dry their hands on them. And dry dishes with them. And use them as impromptu hotpads. Is this too much to ask???"
About Bekah
Rebekah Merkle has dabbled in a number of occupations over the years, informed by and interlaced with her life of racing around after her husband Ben, their five children, and now their growing hoard of grand babies.
At various times she has run a children’s clothing label, edited a literature curriculum, and been a high school humanities teacher at the classical, Christian school their children attended. She is also the author of Eve in Exile, Classical Me, Classical Thee, andSoup Night Slapdashery. . . three wildly disparate works that all reflect various parts of her equally disparate undertakings. She also hosts the erratic podcast What Have You with her sister Rachel Jankovic.
But the constant refrain that has always been there in the background through all those years is her love of design and her desire to bring splashes of color and joy and beauty into the boring corners of day to day living. Those corners are so often handed a beige rubber dish mat, or an ugly acrylic towel, or a bit of bandaid-colored orange-peel textured wall when they could just as easily be outfitted with a fabulous, life enhancing, joyous and abundant bit of color and fun. So while she definitely enjoyed teaching Homer and Ovid and Shelley to rowdy teenagers and would do it again in a heartbeat, her real love has always been digging in to the stupendously fertile soil of the home and trying to recapture something of what it looks like for a woman to faithfully build her house.
