Homemaking in an apartment or rental house can be disheartening. It's easy to be discontent in small spaces and in a place you don't own and can't change. But it's important, still, to be an engaged homemaker, even in less-than-ideal circumstances.
In a world where we see idealized photos of white-and-beige kitchens wherever we turn, how do we then step into our 30-year-old, not-updated, cramped kitchen and remain content? It’s a question worth asking – and answering.
I am truly grateful for this time in temporary housing at a phase of life where it’s easy to feel like we’re entitled only to upgrades. We’re past the season where we rough it to gain equity, aren’t we?
Is there really a season where we judge how we’re doing by how nice our house is?
I love talking about both homemaking and education because both are lifelong pursuits. It’s good to not get to a point where there’s no challenge.

As mothers, one great temptation is to grow weary in doing good. We do so much of the same work, day in and day out, that it’s easy to lose the plot, to lose ourselves, to lose a desire to do…anything.

Take Humble Habits: https://simplyconvivial.com/humble-habits
If you follow homemaking blogs and YouTube channels these days, it’s easy to get the impression that what you need to be a great homemaker is to make sourdough, slowly sweep your house in silence and natural light, and decorate your table with candles you made yourself and flowers you cut from your yard. That’s the picture of fulfilled, amazing homemaking. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things, of course, but none of them are required to be a great homemaker. One thing, however, is required.
Hi! I’m Mystie Winckler, author of Simplified Organization, Learn to Love What Must Be Done. In my book, I share how to be a confident, capable, cheerful homemaker - and I never once mention bread-baking, sewing, fermenting, or keeping chickens. The six skills I lay out have nothing to do with handicrafts and everything to do with your attitude and basic ability to handle real life. That’s what I want to talk about today, so grab a basket of laundry to fold and let’s dig in.
