Summary

I heard Katie and her husband discussing this idea on their podcast, and I was intrigued by the thought that maybe a problem we face as homemakers is not that we don’t have enough time, but that we have too much of it. In our conversation, Katie and I look at how modern conveniences save us time but have presented us with new challenges in terms of productivity and efficiency. We hope this episode leaves you feeling encouraged that you can get things done with kids around, you can learn new skills, and you can become the kind of homemaker you dream of being. Join us!

In this episode, we cover:

Being intentional as mothers of large families
How modern convenience has presented us new challenges
Filling up our time with soul satisfying pursuits
Can you really get stuff done with little kids around?
Avoiding boredom in motherhood and choosing fulfilling activities instead
The freedom of keeping a simplified home
Discerning what homemaking tasks are worth our time
Overcoming the mental barrier of learning new skills

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast. Today, I'm going to be sharing with you an
0:05.0	interview I did with Katie from now that we are a family. They have a podcast, a YouTube channel.
0:10.8	She used to operate as now that I'm a mother. If you're familiar with that, I had on the podcast
0:15.3	before and I can't remember which one she was at the time. But we're going to talk about a concept
0:19.5	I heard on her podcast recently that I found very interesting and I really wanted to talk about it
0:25.5	more with her here on this podcast. And essentially, it's just that as homemakers, we actually,
0:32.8	instead of having not enough time, a lot of times we think we don't have enough time to get
0:38.0	done the things that we want to get done. It's actually that in this modern culture, we have too
0:43.3	much time and it's sometimes, it's not sometimes, it's always difficult to figure out how to prioritize
0:51.6	because we have so much convenience. There are a lot of extra hours, potentially in the day that we
0:58.0	end up filling with other things or there's new expectations placed on us. So it's a very real
1:02.6	thing. I'm not being dismissive about it. It's a real modern day problem that I think we've called
1:08.7	something else. So I loved that concept and we're going to chat about that today with Katie from
1:14.6	now that we're a family. My name is Lisa, mother of seven in creator of the blog and YouTube channel
1:20.5	Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch
1:26.0	cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way. Welcome to the podcast again, Katie.
1:37.3	I'm so glad that you're able to join me here. I first, let's start with introductions for the people
1:44.1	don't know you who don't follow along about you, your family, where you and your husband share
1:50.8	your content and your podcasts, which is something that I listened to and that we're basing this
1:56.4	episode off of is something that you've said in your podcast. So we'll get into that. Awesome. Thank
2:01.2	you so much Lisa for having me on. It's an honor to be on here because yeah, we do podcasts and
2:07.2	you're like one of the only podcasters I consistently listen to. I just love your interviews and I
