8 Tips to be a GOOD HOMEMAKER 2023

[@JasminnnnnnE]

I’m not religious at all but I love your videos and attitude towards being a good, loving and joyful person for yourself and family. I find many of the values you discuss are lacking in modern life and I can see why it’s taken it’s toll on modern society’s mental well-being xo

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thanks for being here, Jasmin 🫶🏼

[@jenniferornduff7835]

Hello Jasmin. May I ask what keeps you from having a relationship with Lord Jesus?

[@dubosesjoy]

Agreed! The world without God looks so chaotic and disordered, but systems of order and intentional beauty are reflections of a God that designs with beauty and in order.

I strongly agree with the getting dressed thing. I have been working from home and got married since 2020. Getting dressed makes you feel better. Not just yoga pants but actually putting on something that makes you feel special.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Isn’t it amazing what a difference the simple act of getting ready makes?!🫶🏼

[@hollihogan4191]

It does make a person feel better about themselves. I wish I had her lifestyle but God makes us all special and unique. Thank you Steph, for allowing us to get a glimpse into your beautiful world. Many blessings to you

One thing I learned from FLY Lady with homemaking is don’t try to catch up.. just start again where you are. The work will always be there.. just keep going and let it be imperfect. ❤

My sister told me about a Mama that has a KZbin channel who said that we need to be the thermostat in our home ,not the thermometer. I've been guilty 😔. If we can do like you said and make our homes a safe calm place for our families, there would be less stress and fussing. Playing calming music and having the house smelling good is one way I try to make my home an oasis. When my husband and son come home to that, it makes them happy and relaxed. Thanks for all your wonderful tips! ❤️

I love that!! Those are some wise words ❤️

“Homemaking is a ministry” I’ve never heard this before… EVER!!! And our good Lord has placed me in a season of learning how to do this without a “blueprint”. So that analogy you shared was beautiful and accurate! I am being led by God in this season and I didn’t have words for it. This was perfect! Thank you! God bless!

[@solagratialife]

It sure is! Although it looks differently woman to woman, homemaking/raising children/being a wife is our most noble ministry according to Proverbs 31. God might place a woman into minstry other than homemaking, but if He gives you a husband, children, a home to steward THAT is our #1 ministry and calling 2nd only to being a daughter of God.

I was just discussing “life” with my daughter in law. I told her that my physical focus and energy is outward to others with those daily habitual breaks for prayer (I pray the Liturgy of the Hours) being my inner solace and strength. This makes me happy as a retired women in good health. Folks can get too wrapped up in themselves and this leads to feelings of isolation and loneliness. I say……”When I leave this world……others will notice that I’m gone”…….😉

#1 is great. When I first divorced I did something like this. I was so overwhelmed. So I would list 3 things on a sticky. Each day I just concentrated on getting those done. That was a lifesaver.

[@jkp62]

Steph!!! What wise words from such a young woman! (I am 60, soon to be 61). My mama was an awesome housekeeper, the one negative thing she did was to do everything and follow behind us and picked up after us. We did not have chores, was not taught how to cook, Budget, deeper cleaning (back in the day, refrigerators had drip trays and I had no clue that it had to be cleaned regularly, so “eww” stinky kitchen) or laundry. When I had children, my goal was to instill habits like picking up after yourselves, helping to clean the house, do the laundry, cook and bake, do dishes, basic first aid, having pets to care for and be responsible for and money management- everything was age appropriate starting at 15 months old (singing while “helping” me putting away toys or putting their laundry away, etc and building as they got older and more capable). They are in the mid-late 30’s now and say now they appreciate me being a “slave driver” LOL! As for keeping your home “perfect” our homes should be “perfect” for our families and should reflect the personalities of the people in that home and not what Pinterest or YT influencers says is what is on trend. A maintained, picked up home that reflects your families interests is so much cozier and inviting than that “perfect” decor item styling that reflect others influence rather than yours. Sure, repaint, change carpeting and rugs, but do not buy things because it’s a “must have trendy thing”. And above all else, and which you truly reflect in your videos and life, is to be joyful and loving with your life and home and content where you are at in this moment and every day forward (even when you get the humdrum’s).

I am a homeschooling mama of 4 children 6 and under and I'm pregnant with my 5th. My husband's business also keeps me busy. It does wonders for me to get dressed and look presentable every single day. One tip that has been a lifesaver for me on busy Sunday mornings is that my oven has a delay start function, and Sunday morning before we leave I pop leftovers in the oven and set it to start warming the food about 2 hrs later. That way when we walk in the door we can immediately eat a hot meal. Such a lifesaver with hungry little ones!!

Really good tips, thank you! I'm on maternity leave with my beautiful 4 month old baby, and its the first time in my life where I'm not working, and trying to navigate many new thing. Being a new mom and learning my new baby, taking care of my home in a new way, balancing my own interests and self care, and really having to emphasize that its not going to be perfect and I have to be realistic as I get into a routine. It's a lot to get used to! But trying to adopt small cleaning habits so that nothing feels overwhelming, and really reframing cleaning and cooking (things I enjoy) as a part of my role to care for my family and home is helping a lot.

This information is so spot-on. Thank you, Steph, for the encouragement you share with others. I am a grandmother of three, so am probably much older than most of your viewers, but I appreciate your caring nature and the sincere way you express yourself and your faith. Homemaking is, indeed, a ministry and a special and important calling. Having taught for seven years before our daughter was born, we now laugh at the fact that I tried to make every activity with her an educational one, somehow. Our three little grandchildren live nearby, so the teacher in me still comes out occasionally (more accurately, a lot). 🤭☺️ Thank you for giving voice to the worthiness of being a homemaker!

I love your video. I've been a full-time homemaker. It has earned me $ 440 per month for social security. Let that set in. Throughout my later years working here and there part time jobs and short term full time job. I raised children to work full time and in a growing career.

[@smileandpresson]

Thanks for this. I was career oriented and career focused. I didn't really plan to have children. Then a surprise pregnancy and suddenly my husband and i had 3 littles in 3 years. Now im struggling and realizing I don't know how to manage or be a homemaker even though i was succesful in my field at work. It's overwhelming and hard to know where to start.

[@NimbusNotebook]

Same here... I studied hard and make / made good money, I have to adjust to the fact that house work at home is also work that is valuable and important.

[@smileandpresson]

@@NimbusNotebook I'm adjusting to that too. And that productivity in the home often doesn't have tangible results. I say that I used to be out of the home and in control, and now I'm in the home and out of control. It's a really hard transition here but trying to focus on little steps. One day at a time.🤗

[@katealison6087]

Thanks Steph, a great video as usual. Please could you remind me of the author and book you spoke about towards the end? She had provided a quote about what homemaking should be. A tip I would add is to take a chunk of time each day - even if it can only be 10 mins - to self nurture. Either a bible reading from a year study, which is what I do, or a quiet cup of tea or coffee where you're undisturbed. Just checking in with yourself and your faith can work miracles in terms of turbo charging your resolve for the day.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Yess! Thanks for sharing that! The quote is by Jani Ortlund and I saw it on a page of homemaking quotes. I hope that helps 🫶🏼

[@lettus143]

i actually had different reasons for dressing nicely (not always, i'm not perfect, but an upgrade from my former self for sure!) but i agree with your points. for me, i am the only feminine influence in my kids lives. grandma on both sides is absent in their lives, i have only sons, their aunts live on the other side of the country, so ultimately when my sons start looking for a wife i wanted to try and set a better example of what i want for them. i don't try to be perfect, but i was absolutely a sloppy and lazy dresser before. i wear dresses very often now and do my best to keep clean and nice. ultimately it comes down to whatever girl is the best fit for my children, but i don't want them gravitating towards a certain kind of girl, because i will say from experience, my 'i dont care' attitude towards my appearance also showed in my home, and my work ethic was kind of trash. it took me a few years before i was able to train myself to be better. dressing nice makes me feel better, like i'm setting myself up for success, and i feel like i'm putting on my work uniform when i wear my aprons (i mean it in a good way, as when i was growing up we were very much just "wipe it on your pants and move on" type people).

[@gracestaw9030]

So I’m recently married to the love of my and right now I’m expecting my first, which is really exciting so I’m just trying to learn how to be a good housewife a mom because my mother sadly didn’t understand board responsibility and cleaning and dressing nicely and it really affected me as a kid and it affect me as an adult a bit sense for the time being we’re living with my parents right now we’re moving out soon which is good but I’m trying to learn everything from scratch because I never had that growing up and it’s sometimes overwhelming so I wanted to say thank you for this advice about just taking things easily a few things a day not to stress yourself too much

[@LizzyTwifehomemaker]

I also think that asking your husband what he likes when it comes to your appearance is great too. Ask him what he likes overall and then ask him what he would want you to prioritize if you only had 5-10 minutes to get dressed/do hair/do makeup. You'll be surprised how easy men are to please!

[@catherinecorn2371]

This is an excellent thought. I was amazed years ago when my husband told me what he actually wants/needs from me as his wife. It wasn't a fraction of what I thought he wanted/needed. 😂

[@oldsoulhomestead89]

I used to do one laundry day but now we are a family of 7 on a farm and on a septic system I space it out, it’s usually a load every other day but I don’t mind it so much. It feel less overwhelming and since we don’t have a dryer I can air dry one load at a time where a weeks worth the whole house would be strewn with laundry racks haha

You are so right about getting dressed!!! My mom had a strict schedule for school. We ate breakfast at 9am sharp and we had to be dressed with our hair done!! She checked our rooms and the bed had to be made and all clothes put away :) so glad she was that way!! It truly affects schooling when we're dressed and ready to learn!!! ♡ also helped the feel of the home knowing everyone's rooms were already straightend up an there wasn't a huge mess to clean up after school.

We have certain "set" expectations. EVERY night, we wash the dishes. No dirty dishes are left in the sink. IF after we have washed them, someone uses dishes, they must wash them. Also, i make our bed pretty much everyday,. My retired husband does the house laundry on Fridays, so my daughter and I will then clean then clean the bathrooms on this day.

Salvation Army and thrift stores have a variety of clothing and styles in one place and they often have half price days, which makes it very affordable

Dresses. Seriously. It's an instant complete outfit. Dress up or down with accessories. Find a style that is comfortable and that functions well for you and buy a bunch in different colors or patterns. Done! Good luck 😀

[@nekocat12]

Sane here. I just take it one day at a time. One day I do some chores but when I don't feel good or weak ill do light chores or take a week break. Whenever I get an energy boost I'll do everything around the house. Do what you can that's all I can say.

[@nacquatabryson8365]

Man same… Thank you for being vulnerable. My issues are mostly mental so takinf time in the morning to just be with God and a cup of coffee really helps me gain perspective. He doesn’t judge or care if my house is Pinterest perfect. He cares if my heart is ready to be guided by Him that day. My moments are better spent having a conversation with my hubby, giving my kiddo a hug, praying for a neighbor… etc. The dishes will get done and so will the laundry.. eventually lol.
