Hey Lovely — it’s basically 2026, and if the internet is already making you feel behind… we’re not doing that here. In today’s episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, we’re preparing for the new year with grace-filled homemaking, Christian encouragement, and a simple reflection framework that helps you reset your mind, life, and home without the guilt spiral.
I’m sharing my easy-to-remember acronym "RHYTHMS"—seven anchored questions to help you release pressure, honor God’s expectations (not man’s), notice what’s already working in your home, and identify the stress points that are trying to tell you something. We talk through real-life examples (including the measuring cups drama 🤍), why “tension” in your home is often a systems problem, not a character problem, and how to create tiny rhythms that support your energy, faith, and family—like my new “pausing station” that has been saving my kitchen island.
We’ll also dive into what “lovely” actually means (hint: it’s exquisitely beautiful, and it looks different for every woman) and end with my favorite question of the entire episode: If grace were the foundation of your homemaking in 2026… what would you change?
Plus, we wrap up with a hilarious listener-submitted Would You Rather that will absolutely make you laugh. 😂
