This is The Homemaking Foundation's podcast with Jamie Valmay, episode number 20.

Welcome to the Homemaking Foundation's podcast, where we give you the tools, inspiration, and

encouragement you need to craft a gospel-centered home. And now your host from youngwifesguide.com,

Jamie Belmay.

Hi, and welcome back to this week's episode.

Today we're going to be talking about something that is very near and dear to my heart lately,

and that is finding joy in our homemaking.

I'm going to share a little bit about my story today and how this has been a struggle for me in the last three years in finding, in sometimes finding that joy within my home.

And then I'm going to share some practical ways that we can rediscover that joy within our home, within our homemaking.

Maybe it's the dishes and the laundry that are dragging

you down. Maybe you are having a hard time in your parenting. Whatever it is, that's what we're

going to be talking about today, is rediscovering that joy in our home. But first, I wanted to share

a little bit about what our family has been up to this week. Last week, I kicked off the

episode, episode 19, by sharing what our family has been up to in the last four months.

And I got some great feedback from you that you liked to hear about that, about what our

family is up to, what we have going on. So I'm going to, I'm not going to

take nearly as long today to share a little bit, but I just wanted to update you with what is going

on with our family, with our online ministry. And I think I plan on at the beginning of each

episode now, giving you just a little bit of update.

And some weeks are going to be a lot more exciting with maybe stuff we have with our online ministry.

And some weeks like this week is just kind of a normal week and a normal peak into what is going

on in our lives.
