And today, I want to address the practical parts of her question. Where can you turn to for help when life seems overwhelming? Listen to the Podcast: Thanks for listening in today!

0:00.0	This is The Homemaking Foundation's podcast with Jamie Belmay, episode number 208.
0:06.4	Welcome to the Homemaking Foundation's podcast, where we give you the tools, inspiration, and
0:11.9	encouragement you need to craft a gospel-centered home. And now your host from youngwifesguide.com,
0:18.0	Jamie Belmay. Hey, ladies, welcome back to the podcast. Today is part number two. Now, if you're just
0:27.3	jumping into this episode, you can feel free to jump in right where you're at right now and
0:32.2	then go back and listen to the last episode. But if you listen to episode 207 already, then
0:37.2	you're off to a great start because that
0:38.7	was kind of episode number one in this little mini series. Last week, I was talking about a
0:46.1	question that I got from a reader. And we were talking about is the work that you're doing
0:50.9	worthwhile. Do you feel like it's worthwhile, the work that you do within your home, especially that stuff that tends to be very cyclical, those things that we do,

1:25.4	part of that question, which is the more practical
1:27.7	side of things. And so we're going to be talking a lot about what do you do when you spend all your
1:32.7	time managing things and when you feel very tired and you feel like you're just doing schoolwork
1:40.3	and dishes and laundry and diapers and, you know, the cycle repeats again and again and again.
1:46.5	So what are you doing? You're kind of feeling that overwhelm. What are some practical things you can do?
1:50.7	And that's what we're going to jump into. We're going to dive into. In this episode, I give some
1:55.3	pretty specific examples from my life. And this was two years ago that I actually filmed this. So I had, Magnolia was
2:03.7	three months old. She is now almost two and a half. And so at the time I had two four-year-olds,
