Cultivating the good & the beautiful at home
Homemaking
There is nothing wrong with a modern lifestyle, but so much wisdom concerning how to live a good and flourishing life has been forgotten. For the sake of convenience and new things, we have sacrificed goodness and beauty.
Perhaps you are like me and you long to create a place that you and your family can flourish in. It can be done in a more modern lifestyle, but the more I learn about old fashioned living, the more I see that modern living cannot offer the wisdom, beauty, and goodness that I want for my home.
Routines
Structuring your days as a homemaker can really help you be productive. There’s so much to do and having a flexible daily routine cuts down on the stress, too. My daily routine is like a template that makes time for all my duties and some hobby time, but it’s still flexible enough to stand up to all the chaos that children can bring.
Does housework overwhelm you to the point of discouragement? Do you wish you could finally get on top of it all? Do you have the homemaking dream of keeping your home in order, but struggle to actually do so on a day-to-day basis?
You’re not alone!
Most homemakers, new moms, newly stay-at-home-moms struggle with this at one point or another. This is something we all struggle with.
Homemade Food
Cooking from scratch is the old fashioned homemaking skill that has made the most impact in my homemaking journey. Why? Because we have to eat three times a day anyways so why not make cheaper healthier meals that are hubby approved and kid friendly?!
There’s nothing like the waft of a home cooked meal or cookies baking in the oven to make your mouth water. Plus, if you make it yourself from scratch, you have control over what’s in it and you’ll feel a whole lot better after eating it.
Homemaking Binder
Life as a homemaker can be a lot. Trying to remember things and striving to stay organized can be taxing. What you need is a homemaking binder, something to keep track of everything for you so that you don’t have to.
Want to make a sourdough starter, but intimidated by how complicated it is? I hear you! This is why I am here to share with you this simple guide to sourdough.
As simple as this method of doing sourdough is, bread making is a skill so it will take time, effort, patience, and a few fails a long the way. Don’t be discouraged though! I know you have the pioneer spirit in you to stick with it all the way. Soon you won’t need to buy store bought bread products!
