Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker Podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and

blessing to each other and the role God has called us to as women.

I'm so thankful you stop by.

So grab yourself a coffee or tea and sit with me a bit

as we talk about how God's word impacts every area of our lives as Christian women.

Hello friends, I'm MarcieFarrell from thankful homemaker.com and I'm so glad you're with me today because I'm going to talk about one of my favorite

routines. It's my weekly home blessing and it's been a little bit since I've really shared a home management themed episode,

and I felt it was time to work through a routine that really blesses and helps me keep my home in order. And I was thinking just with fall upon us as I'm recording this it's mid-August.

So with fall upon us many of us maybe finding ourselves thinking about our schedules and our days and what's working and what's not working

So I thought it was a great time to work through this weekly home blessing and this is just a habit I picked up from Fly Lady back in my days as a

young homemaker. It's a very simple routine done once a week. It just kind of

of gets worked into your week, but it takes care of so much of the

daily maintenance involved in keeping our homes. And my reminder always, before I begin an episode like this,

it is not about perfection perfection and this is going to

look different for each of us. These particular items we're going to work through

today they don't fall into two of my favorite routines they don't fall into my morning or my evening routine, but these

are things that most of us tackle in our weekly cleaning. And again, if you're interested in hearing more, I hope you'll stick with me and just kind of listen to the episode and see where you're out with it.

Maybe you'd like to try to put it into practice if you haven't yet.

Or maybe you used to put it into practice and you haven't yet. Or maybe you used to put it into practice

and you haven't been doing it for a bit

so you need a little bit of encouragement.

And again, it's not about doing it my way
