How to be a great homemaker

Take Humble Habits: simplyconvivia...
If you follow homemaking blogs and KZbin 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.
Mystie Winckler encourages moms to organize their attitudes and get traction at home so we are no longer overwhelmed or frustrated with homemaking. We are a community of Christian women striving to be competent, cheerful homemakers so we are fruitful, faithful, and hospitable. Subscribe for regular encouragement!

I would have loved examples of what the a "seed" would be, and what it would look like to grow that habit over time. I am having trouble figuring out what the seed would be to different habits I want to accomplish.

That's a good point. For a prayer habit, the seed we plant in the Humble Habits course is to have a one-line prayer to repeat as soon after you wake up as possible. The goal is to make it a default first act of the day. Obviously, that's not a full prayer routine, but it DOES prepare your mind and heart to pray more readily later. It starts your day in a prayerful tone, which makes a later prayer time easier to start.

Hi❤ love your content all the time:) I have an unrelated question.. when you plan your days or your weeks, do you add your kids chores on your to do list??

[@simplyconvivial]

I did when I had 5 kids I was tracking and all their school. Then it was on my weekly dashboard. Now I just have 3 big big kids at home who do the same chore every day, so they keep track.
