On my blog today I have an article from September 1941 that includes two floor plans and lots of images of prefabricated housing. You can check it out at the link in my bio.

Here is a day’s worth of menus from the September 1940 issue of Woman’s Day. The meals were planned for a family of four and the dinners were created to appeal to both parents and children. Lunch could be carried to work or school if needed. This Saturday set of meals were purposely made to be simple so the day could be left open for things other than cooking.

Potato Salad, 1944

August 1943, “Woman’s Home Companion”

Date Squares, 1941

This July 1942 Woman’s Day article shows the reader how to take an out-of-style lamp and turn it into something fashionable. Women during the war years still wanted to decorate their homes, but shortages and other difficulties often made it a struggle. Magazine publishers knew this and frequently featured articles that helped women have a well-decorated home on a budget and despite shortages. You can find the whole article on my blog. Link’s in my bio.
