Modern Homemaker Mom | Rhythms, Cleaning Hacks, Overwhelm, Homemaking, SAHM, Decluttering

You want to make the holidays special, but when you’re living on one income, every grocery run, gift list, and family gathering seems to come with a price tag that tugs a little tighter than last year. And yet—you don’t want to cut the joy. You want your home to feel peaceful, festive, and full of meaning, not stress.

In this episode, I’m sharing the practical shifts that have helped our family thrive on one income—especially throu...

You’ve told yourself, “This time, I’ll stay on top of it.” But then the baby starts teething, or you catch a cold, or your energy tanks—and it all unravels again.

Sound familiar?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the honest truth: it’s not that you’re lazy, disorganized, or doing it wrong. It’s that you’ve been trying to live on systems that weren’t made for a woman with seasons.

We’ll talk about why your routines haven’t stuck, how ...

You’ve had those moments—when the light hits just right as you stir supper on the stove, or when your toddler climbs into your lap with a book and for a second, everything feels still and sacred. And yet, they feel rare. Almost like they belong to someone else’s life.

But what if they didn’t?

What if those glimpses of peace weren’t the exception, but the rhythm of your days?

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a picture of wh...

The kitchen was a mess. Apples soft with bruises, fruit flies dancing through the air, boxes stacked high where furniture used to be. Nothing looked like routine. Nothing felt like rhythm. And yet—I couldn’t stop smiling.

Because in the middle of what looked like chaos, God was doing something new.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and letting you into the whirlwind our family has been walking through: a cross-province ...

You’ve read the lists. You’ve tried the systems. You’ve whispered Why can’t I figure this out? while folding that same basket of laundry for the third time this week.

Friend, maybe the real reason your home doesn’t feel peaceful yet isn’t because you’re failing—it’s because of what you’ve come to believe about yourself.

In this honest, identity-shifting episode, we’re looking at the quiet lies that so often swirl in the background ...

Maybe you’ve even tried to convince yourself that chaos is just “part of the job.” But if you’re being honest, you're tired of managing your home like it’s a battle to be won. What if the problem isn't that you're failing—but that you're forcing a rhythm that was never meant for you?

In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the real reason homemaking still feels heavy—and the gentle, God-designed rhythm that can finall...

You walk in the door and see it again—the laundry piles, the dishes, the toy explosion—and your heart sinks. You want to get ahead, but it feels like you’re just surviving. You’ve tried the systems, checklists, and chore charts. But nothing sticks. And deep down, you wonder, “Is it always going to feel this hard?”

In this episode, I’m sharing why the mess isn’t just about your house—and why your first step isn’t cleaning at all. Wh...

You’ve told yourself it’s “just a hard season.” You’ve tried to be grateful, to push through, to keep smiling while inside you quietly unravel.

But what if the very effort to survive is what’s keeping you stuck?

In this tender—but honest—conversation, I’m holding up a mirror. Not to shame you, but to gently show you what staying in survival mode is actually costing you. From your health, to your marriage, to the quiet dreams you’ve...

You’ve tried to be the mom who has it all together. The charts, the planners, the early mornings… but still, the laundry piles up, the house feels tense, and your energy vanishes by Thursday.

And in the quiet, you start to wonder—what is wrong with me?

In today’s conversation, I want to speak directly to that weary place in you—the part that’s tired of spinning and ready to live differently. What if your homemaking hasn’t failed be...

You’ve probably whispered it to yourself under your breath at the checkout line or while folding laundry at 9 p.m.: “If I just had a little extra this month...” Not to chase something flashy. Just enough to replace what’s broken. To say yes to a fall date night. To stop coming last on your own list.

Friend, you’re not lazy or bad with money—you’ve just been carrying more than most people know. But what if this fall could feel light...

You pour and pour until your cup runs dry—then wonder why you feel snappy, scattered, and strangely invisible in your own home. It’s not that you don’t want to take care of yourself… you just don’t know how to without everything else falling apart.

In this episode, I want to gently show you a better way.

Not by adding more to your plate, but by tending to you—the woman God made, with limits, longings, and a need for rest. This isn’...

You’ve had those days—sitting on the couch, looking around at the mess, wondering if this is all life is meant to be. You try the cleaning schedules, the decluttering bins, the morning lists—but still feel like you’re drowning.

If that’s you, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Because friend, it’s not about a clean toilet or a made bed. It’s about the life those things can unlock. It’s about no longer waking up behind....

You’ve tried the colour-coded planners. The meal plan templates. The 5-step cleaning routines that should make everything run smoother. But at the end of the day, you still feel like you’re sprinting through life with a toddler on your hip and dishes in the sink.

Here’s the truth nobody told you (but should have): you’re not the problem. The rhythms you’ve been trying to follow just weren’t built for your real life—or your God-desi...

Ever look around your house and think, “Why does this feel so hard?” Like everyone else got the manual, and you’re just… winging it?

Maybe you were the tomboy, the straight-A student, the one who never pictured herself doing dishes and folding laundry on repeat. Maybe no one ever taught you what it looks like to create a peaceful home—and now you're trying to figure it out on the fly, exhausted and doubting yourself.

This episode i...

You’ve tried chore charts, printables, bribes—and maybe even begged. But when the house is still a mess and you’re the only one cleaning, it starts to feel like no one else sees the chaos. Or worse—like no one cares.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why am I still doing all of this alone?”—you are not alone. And more importantly, you are not failing.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the most powerf...

You’ve tried checklists. You’ve doubled down on routines. But deep down, homemaking still feels heavy. Why?

Maybe it’s not that you’re doing it wrong—maybe you were just taught to measure your worth by how much you do.

If you’ve ever tied your peace to a clean house or postponed rest until every box was checked, this episode is a gentle invitation to another way. I am sharing the moment I realized my worth wasn’t in the to-do list—...

You’re looking around at the clutter, the chaos, and you don’t even know where to begin.

The kitchen’s a mess. The laundry’s piled high. And every room feels like it needs a total reset. You’ve tried doing “all the things,” but nothing really sticks. You’re tired. Overwhelmed. Maybe even a little defeated.

Friend, I see you. And I want to let you in on something that could shift everything.

You don’t need to organize the whole hous...

You’re cutting back, clipping coupons, and skipping the extras—but the budget still doesn’t stretch, and you’re left wondering, “Where is all our money going?” Sweet friend, you’re not alone. If your home feels more like a drain than a delight, today’s episode might be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

We’re talking about the quiet, sneaky ways clutter impacts your spending—emotionally, mentally, even spiritually. But mo...

What if your home could practically run itself—freeing you up to finally breathe, rest, and just be? In this heart-to-heart episode, I’m sharing the real reason your house still feels chaotic (hint: it’s not because you aren’t working hard enough) and how small, intentional shifts in your mindset and lifestyle can create the peaceful, manageable home you’re craving.

Think of it like a lifestyle “calorie deficit”—we’re not aiming fo...
