[@amymo9955]

Thank you for sharing this wisdom! I will try to put them into practice starting from today. From a young mom who’s new to the concept of homemaking... :)

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

So glad it was helpful! :)

I have chronic health problems as well and I Can't keep my house as clean and I feel like a failure. I am really happy I found your channel. I am blessed to have my husband he helps a lot.

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Chronic health issues are so hard. I've struggled with the same thing. Servant-hearted husbands are such a blessing!

[@TheFilipinaWifeLife]

The schedule part is so important and its something I really have to work on!

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

It can be a challenge to find one that works! We're regularly revising ours as our kids grow and family dynamics change!

[@trailtoimprove]

I agree. It is super important

[@themillennialsewer5606]

I'm really glad that I found your channel , I have been wanting to learn how to become a homemaker before I get married I never had an example growing up so finding you is so refreshing

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

So glad you're here!

[@mmaks2434]

I’m trying to keep a home with chronic illness. Needed some extra motivation today and didn’t expect to find something so helpful. I love your ideas and statements about gratitude. Thank you!

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

I'm so sorry you're dealing with chronic illness. But so glad to hear the video was helpful!

[@beckynorris4366]

Wow! I didn't expect to see this comment. I am in the same situation. I was born with kidney problems and have had it my whole life. But about 4 years ago my kidneys completely failed. Now I am a single mom with stage 5 kidney failure that does dialysis three days a week, has surgeries every 4 months, and feels sick quite often. I am trying to become a better homemaker because I struggle in this area.

I too have always been fascinated by the “art and the science” of homemaking. I’ve been a homemaker for 44 years through different seasons of life. From SAHM, working outside the home, now an empty nester with at-home business. I still enjoy exploring other homemaker’s approaches and philosophies. Nice video! Your tips are spot-on. I’ve incorporated most of them over the years. Thank you 🌸

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Thank you so much!

That's something I'm always working on, too! Thanks so much for watching!

[@gracefulhumble7248]

Love this, not sure how I missed it. Illness is only something you can understand when you have it, so glad you mentioned it. I hope your pain and energy levels are better now. Your hair looks so beautiful by the way, you are so calming to watch so inspirational

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Thank you so much! I've been feeling better, and so thankful for the strength and energy to work!

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

She's one of my favorites!

[@queenofscrolls7585]

I agree witht he getting up early and also expericne some chronic things. I just wake up as early as I can, even if thats not early by others standards or have naps in mid afternoon if tired. Tanks for the tips!

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

I do the same, and just do the best I can with the wake up time!

New subscriber. I love this message. Can't wait to dig deeper. Thank you.

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Welcome, and thank you so much!

[@mountaingirl8124]

Just found your channel and subscribed. I love channels about homemaking as I am one. :) Have you ever read Edith Schaeffer's book Hidden Art? It's all about being a homemaker and the hidden art we create everyday as we decorate our home, bless our homes and care for those inside it, making little sanctuaries and churches of our families. Anway, you'd love the book. Many blessings!

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

So glad you're here! Yes, Edith's book was one of the first books I ever read on homemaking, over twenty years ago! She was so inspiring. Blessings to you as well!

[@kristinolan7240]

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Blessings to you!

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

Over the last few years of having home and decorating it, here's what I have learned: 1. Know what your style is. You said this. I have always been drawn to Asian and Victorian decor. Think about what speaks to you. 2. Know what you don't like. I like splashes of color. I don't like the wall that looks like a satanic blood ritual red. Or flamingo pink. With ADHD that is too much. 3. Seasonal items. There are four seasons of the year, so embrace them.

[@PhoenixRising-rh4ip]

This is just a random question but how do you keep your facial skin so young and healthy looking? I eat healthy but I feel like my facial skin needs help. 💛

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Wow, what a sweet compliment! And one I never imagined I would hear! I've always had skin issues, and even now that I'm in my 40's, I still have to use anti-acne cream and acne-fighting makeup (both Neutrogena brand). And I use Clinique gel lotion as a moisturizer (because it's the only thing that doesn't cause me to break out). I've tried so many natural things, and they all cause breakouts, so I just keep using what works, even though they're not natural. I do drink a lot of water and herb tea (instead of coffee), but it's probably just all the natural oil production I have going on! :)

[@nicoleauld9536]

If I get up early, the day is so long and the night too

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

Getting up early doesn't work for everyone. Some seasons or situations just require getting up later. :)

[@debrapaff7543]

Funnily enough, no one ever taught me and I struggle.

[@ArtfulHomemaking]

It can be such a struggle when you have to figure out everything yourself.
