Summary

Modern homemaking is one of my obsessions and I've spent almost 7 years redefining what the words means.

I get it. It feels outdated and antiquated. It feels like something moms in the 50s did to please their husbands and families. It feels like a burden.

Here's my take: everyone who lives in a home of any kind is a homemaker. I am, my husband is, my kids are. We all do our part to make our home better.

I have a lot of thoughts and some great insights on how you can make homemaking a thing you don't, both in word and in practice.
