Finding Joy in Your Home

Hf #41: Finding the Time to Read as a Busy Homemaker


Listen Later

Reading is so important to my life...for my life as a Christian, as a wife, as a mom, and as a homemaker. But finding the time, motivation, and the budget to read can be tough.



As a blogger, wife, and mom of 4, I get asked all the time how I find the time to read. I think ALL homemakers can find some time to read in their busy days...even if it's just a few books a year.

Or if you are crazy like me, several books a month. So join me today as we discuss the importance of building reading into your daily schedules and routines, some practical ways to read more, and how to read a lot of books on a budget!
