homemaking + slow living

Loving these days at home—the kind where the pace is gentle and the tasks are simple, yet meaningful. I started the morning with a quiet cup of coffee, letting the light spill in through the windows while little ones woke up slowly. Laundry was folded while hymns played softly in the background and I took time to tidy with intention—not rushing, just honoring the gift of home.

Being a homemaker isn’t always glamorous, but it is beautiful—a quiet ministry of love in the everyday moments. From sweeping the floor to preparing dinner, it’s all worship when done with a grateful heart. Slow living isn’t about doing less, but doing it with presence. 🤍🧺🕊️

... Read moreIn a world that often feels fast-paced and overwhelming, embracing slow living can bring a sense of peace and fulfillment. Slow mornings allow us to connect with our surroundings and loved ones, creating cherished memories. Focus on gentle rhythms—enjoying a cup of coffee while sunlight pours in, or folding laundry with your favorite music playing softly in the background. Such moments transform mundane tasks into rituals that nurture the soul. Homemaking with intention goes beyond clean spaces; it's about infusing every action with love. Preparing a meal becomes an act of care, and cleaning your home serves as a form of gratitude. Incorporate practices such as mindfulness when engaging in daily chores. For example, notice the textures of fabric as you fold clothes, or appreciate the scents of ingredients as you cook. This approach fosters a deeper appreciation for our environments and relationships. Social media has popularized hashtags like #slowliving and #homemaking, encouraging communities to share their journeys toward a more intentional lifestyle. Engage with fellow homemakers or those who value slow living to exchange tips and inspiration. You’ll discover practical advice on creating cozy spaces, developing daily routines that prioritize your well-being, and embracing simplicity in your life. Join the conversation and be part of a growing movement that celebrates the art of living slowly and mindfully.

A Clean Bathroom Should Smell Like... Nothing

If you're stressed...
Who am I to think my life's work is more important than the work Jesus did? Is my time more valuable? Can I accomplish more than Him? Of course not. The King of Kings lived His life serving others and worshipping the Father and that was good enough for Him so it's good enough for me. 🤎

Keep the Sabbath Holy 🤎😊
Remember to rest sweet friend. We are not called to rush through life. ❤️ We keep the Sabbath friday night-saturday night and it has been such a blessing to look forward to every week. We avoid having others work that day (like avoid getting amazon deliveries during this time or going out to eat).
