The Homemaking Foundations Podcast

A secret weapon in my homemaking is listening to things out loud during my day while I work around the house. It helps motivate me to get to work, helps me stay energized while I work, and becomes an incredible opportunity to learn and grow. I regularly listen to the Bible, many good podcasts, and...

Yesterday on the podcast I attempted to answer a question and went in the direction of what do you do when your day gets derailed? So hop over to listen or read that episode because it’s got some good stuff. Here’s the question I got: “I was wondering if you could share a schedule on your... Read More

One of the hardest things about “homemaking” or running and managing our homes…is figuring out how to DO IT ALL. On the best of days it can be difficult to juggle it all.  Throw in a sleepless newborn, a teething toddler, a sick kid, a difficult circumstance, or any variety of weird things that can...

Motherhood is such an incredible blessing but there are days when it’s really tough. Days when we feel overwhelmed and weary. Days when we desperately need just a little encouragement.  And today, I am delighted to introduce you to two ladies who are going to do just that. Between the two of them they have... Read More

Years ago, when Jason and I were first married, I was browsing through a thrift store on my lunch break. I was casually looking through the books when a well loved book caught my attention.  The title was Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. Now normally I don’t just pick up any old book that labels... Read More

Marriage has been a hop topic around the blog lately. We’ve been discussing how you can encourage your husband to lead with love and I even brought Jason on the podcast to share his advice on leading your family from an easy going husband.  This week I am so excited to brining on the expertise...

When you think of Biblical Womanhood, when you think of a godly woman from Scripture, it doesn’t take long for our minds to go to the Proverbs 31 woman. She seems to have it all. She’s got it together, she does an insane amount of work each day (or so it seems), and she works... Read More

I have a passion for homemaking and love encouraging women in their roles as homemakers. Earlier in the week, I shared a post and podcast episode on what it mean to be a modern homemaker.  Once you understand the theory behind your homemaking and how it affects our lives on a day to day basis through...

What does it mean to be a homemaker? How do you define a homemaker? Does homemaker simply mean a stay at home mom or does it encompass so much more? How do I glorify God in my homemaking and what does it mean to be a Gospel-Centered homemaker? These are the questions I try to... Read More

Two weeks ago I shared an important post and podcast episode on encouraging your husband to lead with love. I got a ton of great feedback on this episode and a ton of new questions about encouraging your husband to lead.  I am certainly not an expert on this topic and still have a long... Read More

I got an email last month and I just knew I had to address it because I can so identify with her heart. I’ll share more in a minute, but I’ve had two very difficult twin pregnancies and then a third pregnancy which should have been easy and uneventful, but turned out to be fraught with...

This is a tough topic to talk about. Some of us are lost when it comes to encouraging our husbands to lead. Many of us bristle at the thought of “submission” and letting him lead.  I know I have good intentions when it comes to wanting Jason to lead. But when push comes to shove,... Read More

This is the second post in a mini-series on Spiritual disciplines. You can go back and read part 1: Foundations of Spiritual Growth for the Busy Homemaker.  Last week we discussed that when it comes to our own spiritual growth, we do have an element of responsibility. But at the same time, it’s only in... Read More

Throughout the last year, I had a lot of emphasis on Spiritual Disciplines. I shared a lot about reading God’s Word, different methods for doing so, tips and methods for a deeper prayer life and more.  It was a fun year for me as I really explored what Scripture has to say on those subjects and...
