      ​@@markmccurry9487 I wonder if there is a contraption that somehow utilizes a detergent-like substance that will clean and disinfectant material. It could be called a fabric/material cleanser or clothing cleaner, or wait I've got it, a clothes washer. Someone should invent that contraption like machine so one can wash their "cooking" apron after they clean their house. Cooking apron😂

    "Our home is far from perfect, there's a lot of dirt, a lot of grime, a lot of sin, and just real life that goes on day-to-day. And tomorrow, we have the blessing, and the challenge, of doing it all over again." Loved your words about this Shaye. Thanks for giving us a peek into your life- I'm so grateful to be able to poured into by an older and wiser sister

    Yes…I’m the one who rotates the plants in my house and I’m glad to hear I’m not alone!! There are so many jobs no one (but me) notices…but I tell myself there is pleasure in doing a job well and taking pride in one’s work…and usually that suffices. I have to say, I love all your content but I ESPECIALLY love this video where you share more of your home and I love content about homemaking in general…it’s an under-discussed and under-valued topic (imo) so I love when others share about their homemaking styles. 😊❤️

Thank you for showing the "real" work of caring for a family and reminding us of the sacred responsibility we've been given. After 50 years of doing so, I can testify to the rewards. Blessings to all the mamas out there, putting one foot in front of the other, with grace and love.

Today the children are grown up and out of the house. A time that I miss very much 🌼❤🤗💖

Her family and home were everything to her. I look back on all those years she so unselfishly toiled away to keep her family and home well cared for. Thanks Mom for teaching me all those skills. Home is everything! Thanks for sharing.

Just the idea of mentally reframing mundane chores in our minds as blessings, and being grateful for what we have while doing these chores changes us . Steadily and consistently working to make our homes a place of joy, love, and welcome in spite of the monotony is the goal. The lovely thing is how our homes bless us back.

    Such a good reminder not to get lost in the weeds (or the dust) and remember the important stuff-as an almost (months away) empty nester I'm realizing a season of my life is closing and another one is opening. I want to be thoughtful about what that new season includes or doesn't include. In my situation we lost our home to fire a year and a half ago and as hard as that was its given me the ability to choose what things and activities I want in this new season.

    I have a schedule myself and it helps. Monday thru Thursday I dedicate to the house, and Friday I have time for myself. My husband is not the outgoing type so, I cook which I love to cook, but sometimes I will order out. Once in a while we will go out to eat and enjoy time with family and friends. Working from home has it's benefits but we all need to have our alone time to ourselves. Also, I was seeing that her kids are pretty grown up to help with the chores of the house. While they are growing its good to teach them to defend themselves and learn for their future.

    Loved this video! As a homemaker some don't understand the value in it, especially the food. I cook every meal and can some meals in a jar for the days when everything is just moving too fast. I think you pay with your time and groceries now or you pay double to the doctor and the drug companies later. There is immeasurable value in teaching your children about growing food and making food. My son has been learning at my side since he was six. He can grill, follow recipes, make meals with help. They need the experience before they're out on their own so they to value what you can do with ingredients. He is also learning homemaking through doing chores. He does his own laundry and helps pick up the house and puts away the dishes etc. There are lots of things kids can help with that also gives them a purpose and place in taking care of the household. Making soup today, started the broth going this morning, before dishes and will be having something close to what you just made, but with basil, no pasta. Will be canning some mexican chicken also for the shelves. Just sat down for a few to watch this before starting more laundry and heading off the the store for chicken on sale. I am more than happy to take less vacations, shop at thrift stores and drive an old used car and numerous other things, in order for me to be able to stay home.

    I used to have the same type of rotation with cleaning, but my husband would come home from work and not think that I had done anything, when I was just doing one room at a time, so we settled on once a week we both clean the entire house together, and then throughout the week, we just keep our own messes picked up, and I clean up messes and spills from the kids, but no actuall cleaning except on the weekend. My hussband gets his house spotless (even if for only a day), & I spend the most of one day cleaning, instead of a little every day, but he helps... lol!

    That video is a masterpiece!! Thank you for making it! You are intelligent and so well spoken! I love this life so much! I try to live as a homemaker as well even if I don’t have kids yet! ❤ I find purpose in the life of serving my family and my home!
