Summary
Homemaking is something I talk a lot about in my business, but I didn't start out that way. I used to completely shy away from the word, thinking it was totally antiquated and not at all fitting to who I was or what I did. There are a lot of myths floating around about homemaking and it is my mission to bring those myths to light, squash them and show moms that even the most modern women can be homemakerish without shame. Today, I want to answer the question, is homemaking really still important in 2018?
In this episode we'll dive into:
- What homemaking really is (and what it isn't)
- How home management and homemaking work together to give you an organized house and warm home.
- Why I used to feel so negatively about homemaking and what helped me changed that.
- How one person's insensitive comment to me about moms gave me the confidence to teach even more homemaking tips and strategies.
- Why homemaking and martyrdom don't have to be the same thing.
- What we can do as modern women to embrace homemaking and home management (hint...it involves delegating the work to other people!)
- Some common myths about modern homemaking and how we can finally let go of them.
If you loved this episode as much as I loved sharing it, there is more where that came from.
