Homemaking is truly an art, which means each of us expresses our own personalities and interests and values in unique ways in our homes. But one thing all homemakers share in common is the value they bring to their families. In my conversation with RuthAnn, we dive into some of the whys and hows of homemaking. If you are seeking encouragement and inspiration in your role as a homemaker, you don’t want to miss this chat with RuthAnn!
In this episode, we cover:
How you can begin to recognize the value in a homemaker’s role
Identifying a housekeeping structure that works for you
Where to start when you have a lot on your plate
Recognizing what your season allows for
Prioritizing tasks when everything seems to need your attention
Weighing the cost of spending time or money
How we can pass down to our children many of the skills that have been lost
The importance of articulating why homemaking is important to you
Shifting our mindsets around the seasonal availability of food
Establishing home rhythms that fit your family and season
