The Heart Of The Magazine
From My Home to Yours
I’m Joanna — a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mother, and a woman learning to build a life by God’s design.
This magazine grew out of my longing for a home that felt anchored, and a desire to return to what is real: faith, family, home, values, and the gentle work He entrusted to women.
If you’re here, perhaps you’re longing for the same — a slower, steadier way to live, where the heart is tended as much as the home.
Then I hope this feels like a sanctuary — a place where the heart can rest, and where God may meet you with inspiration, answers, and a sense of belonging.
You’re always welcome here.
