Slowly but surely starting my homemaking life

Our baby boy is on his way in a couple weeks and I finally took disability from work to be home a little longer and get our house a little more put together for the boy❤️

I am also privileged enough to be able to stay home if I choose to which is something I always wanted to do especially since my mom stayed home with me and my older siblings until I was 8. With that being said I am able to garden and learning to make things from scratch!

I have started with these granola bars, which are essentially the same recipe I use for the protein balls I make when I would be in the gym! I’m deciding to just post my journey as a little diary even if people don’t engage in it, at least I’ll have it for myself. #embracevulnerability #healthylifestyle2025 #Lemon8Diary #foryoupage

... Read moreAs I embark on this exciting homemaking journey, I am inspired to create a nurturing environment for my family while prioritizing healthy habits. It’s not just about decorating the home; it’s also about cultivating a lifestyle that promotes well-being. Integrating gardening into my daily routine allows me to grow fresh produce, which is a wonderful way to ensure nutritious meals. Home-cooked meals prepared from scratch not only taste better but also contribute to a healthy lifestyle. The granola bars I've made are just one example of how easy it can be to prepare healthy snacks at home. Making homemade granola bars can be a fun and rewarding experience, offering versatility in terms of flavors and ingredients. You can customize them using oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruits, providing both health benefits and deliciousness. As I document this journey, I hope to inspire others to embrace vulnerability in their own homemaking experiences and recognize the importance of self-care and family care. Every step taken in this new chapter is a commitment to improving my family's life and my own. By sharing my journey, I aim to motivate and connect with others who are navigating similar paths, ultimately building a supportive community focused on health and intentional living.

A young woman takes a selfie, with text overlay asking, "WHY DOES TRYING FEEL SO CRINGE? SCARED OF CHASING MY DREAMS IN FRONT OF PEOPLE I KNOW." The image reflects the article's theme of fear and embarrassment in pursuing entrepreneurial dreams.
A younger woman, labeled "17 YEAR OLD ME!!", stands between large tree trunks. Text overlays describe her hidden dreams of being an entrepreneur and the embarrassment she felt about them since high school.
A laptop screen displays a blog titled "from sarah jolie." Text overlays explain that she still hides her aspirations from her network and kept her blog a secret, feeling safer being seen by strangers.
I’m scared of being *found out* by my friends?? ☹️
Since high school, I’ve always had dreams of being an entrepreneur and self-employed. But I ALWAYS hid this part of me from almost everyone I knew. This dream was so embarrassing!! 🥺 I felt like it was cringe to even believe I could do it. So, with every business I’ve started, I’ve done it anonymou
