One year homemaking makeover: https://www.simplyconvivial.com/stop-overwhelm

Homemaking and living organized is harder than we thought it'd be, but it's not outside our reach. We just need to be willing to take baby steps and build our skills and capacity gradually. There is no quick fix solution or overnight success when it comes to home management.

Moms often lack the nerve to be the leader with their kids, but the truth of the matter is that Mom’s ability to homeschool is dependent not primarily on her own level of knowledge, but on her level of leadership and backbone with her kids. You can outsource teaching as a homeschooler, but you can’t outsource the role of Headmaster.

I want to help equip moms to be better leaders of their children, better mothers and educators who are willing to put up with temporary resistance for the long-term good of their people.

When we want to be sure we’re spending time in the Word and starting our day with prayer, we very easily slip into idealistic vision-chasing.

We imagine our morning devotions should

1. be the very first thing we do in the morning
2. be done before the kids are awake
3. take at least thirty minutes, but maybe sixty
4. include a stack of books
5. be comfy-cozy with warm light, a hot beverage, and earth tone midliners and a gentle candle flickering

So then when our mornings begin by being tossed from bed by a crying infant, when we don’t have ten minutes together without being interrupted, when we never make it to our candle-lit reading corner, we wind up never actually beginning the day with prayer and Scripture.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. We don’t need to have the perfect setting before we can fly to the Lord for daily sustenance. Such desperate, mid-action flight is more biblical than a cozy morning corner with scented candles, too.
