Finding Beauty in Everyday Homemaking | Ordinary Homemaking
Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and while I share a mindset shift I've made about slow living and ordinary homemaking. ☕️
I strongly believe in prioritizing slow living and finding beauty in everyday tasks as a homemaker. But that doesn't mean it's always easy.
Especially when the kids are fighting, water is boiling over, and the dog is barking at the mailman.
I'll be honest the past few weeks have been hard and I didn't know why.
However, I realized that I need to adjust the motivation behind why I chose this lifestyle. It's small. But I think it will have a huge impact on the atmosphere in our home.

The Truth About Homemaking: Balancing Rest and Productivity

There is a difference between being a homemaker and just doing all the c...

    Please, please, don’t have music playing in your videos. So distracting and unnecessary. For people with auditory issues, even the low sound fights with your voice. The music adds nothing snd I’ll never understand why it’s added. Would have loved to have been able to have been able to hear what you were saying.

    I really appreciate your videos but this one especially. I have, as many people do, a very stressful job. I have wanted to enjoy my housework but end up rushing through it because my job leaves me little time to get it done. That said, your video made me realize I can slow down or at least choose to enjoy my time I have when doing my housework. Thank you for the reminder that I can choose to look things in a more positive way! Your videos are a blessing 😊

I know it won't last forever, but I truly want to enjoy every season of life. It all goes by so quickly. I can't wait until I retire to enjoy a "slow- life", because in this life we have no retirement guarantee.

    Aliya, Thank you so much for the reminder this morning of doing all as "unto the Lord". If I'm honest, I get so busy and focused with the tasks that need to be accomplished, that I forget that most important thing! Serve him in all I do and just slow down! Other than UA-cam, I have no social media influence for the very reason you mentioned. I am always blessed and encouraged with your vlog and I truly appreciate your sweet heart and mission to be an encouragement. Lord bless you, and I thank you. Reply

    The curtains turned out fine. Cute fabric that’s very cottage looking. Did you know you can easily tear cotton fabric? Cut a small starter cut, say 1 inch long, grab both sides and pull evenly, It will give you a perfect line because the tear will naturally follow the fabric grain. Some fabric stores only tear because then they don’t get off grain/crooked cuts happening.

    • @opendoorsopenhearts
      @opendoorsopenhearts 5 днів тому

      No! I’ve been turning muslin fabric into ribbons for a couple of years. But I’ve never tried it with cotton. Ohhh!!! Now I feel like I need to make new curtains for the new house and try this method!! I love the way the ribbon looks torn, so I think I’ll love the curtains that way too. I’m so excited to give it a try!! Thanks for watching! Means more than you realize! Have a great weekend! 🤍🌱🪿

I do realize up North not sure your area has better second hand options. I live in a very college football crazed area and the aesthetic I like is not readily available. We have 1 antique store that I believe people use as a storage unit. A few consignment shops only 1 focues on home decore. 3 thrift stores and they can be scary to visit. We have a few donation/Christian places but they dont have amazing stuft very often. Ive spent a small fortune ordering things. So yall are very lucky to have affordable options. I think its this town........we moved 30 min away so we can live our country life. No shops really but they did start a farmers market recently, Anyways love your style.

    The right additions can really pull a space together with minimal changes. When we moved to our current home , a rental, the kitchen had a limited number of cabinets. The finish was good but we needed more storage. Luckily we quickly found a great hutch at a local thrift store. My daughter & I saw it from across the room & it was one of those love at first sight scenes from a movie. It really pulled the space together & I enjoy it every day. Can't wait to see what other great additions you'll make as you make the house your home.

    I love all the ideas you have for your kitchen. Sometimes it’s best to live in your space and let the house tell you what it needs. I really like the blue in your kitchen and I’m glad you’re keeping it. I also smiled when it was apparent we all follow the same blogs! When I was growing up my mom had a dishwasher….it was me! From the time I was 7 years old, I started drying while my sister washed. When she left for college and I was 10 then I washed and dried until I left home. I love that you are taking us along on the renovations. It’s going to be beautiful!

      @@desanders12 It's a label that says "sugar" that I spin to the back. I'm so frustrated. One of them came in the original box but I threw it away when I brought it home years ago. I was looking online and these look very similar to mine. amzn.to/3WpYxql

    Helllo, I just love the beauty you created in your butler’s pantry! It’s gorgeous and warm and functional. You are so right about making spaces beautiful even if they are not exactly how we envision them or want them to be. It is a process and the beauty should be enjoyed all throughout the journey. Thank you for the wonderful reminder. 😊
