    I never wanted a career either. I always dreamed of being married to my best friend and having my family! I was so blessed by God to find my husband at 15, he was 17 and we’ve been together ever since! We have 4 kids and 10 grandchildren, time has just flown by! We worked hard, my husband went to nursing school after our kids were born. We didn’t have the fanciest house or the most stylish clothes but we got by. I worked part time at times but mostly I was home. I recognize that not every woman has the option of being a SAHM, I was very blessed and I know it!

    I never thought I wanted to be a mother and homemaker. Spent 10 year chasing other people’s values and getting absolutely no satisfaction or fulfilment out of it and falling into severe depression, also losing my connection to God. Fast forward and I’m 35 with 2 beautiful sons; living what had become my dream life of being with my kids and providing a safe, comforting place for my husband. It is a blessing and I have never been happier ❤ all glory to God 🙏🏼

    I’ve always wanted to have a career and never thought I would have to be a SAHM. We decided that me working while paying for daycare (that’s not cheap) didn’t make sense, no matter how much I wanted to be out of the house and work. I’m not the one who loves being a SAHM so I’ve started a small business since our first was a newborn and working from home when I have time while still being a SAHM, was the best balance. We are all different, you gotta find that happy balance where you are happy as a mom. I get depressed when all I do is chores all day and watch the kids, I need that creative work “fix”. I see some other moms that absolutely love being a homemaker and not work, and that’s totally awesome!

      Oh I totally understand what you are saying! I absolutely love being a homemaker, but one of the reasons I started this channel is because I wanted to do something (work from home) beside it as well. I have worked as a homemaker for the entire 5 years and I think it’s amazing to use your talents and gifts like that. As long as we make sure our priority is and will be our family and our home, working can be a great way to keep ourselves busy.

    Hi, I would like to hear your experiences and steps on how you started homeschooling, especially because it is not common here in the Netherlands. I myself work part-time and my children deliberately go to a small-scale Reformed school where the emphasis is on faith and how children live according to God's word. but I'm curious what the home teaching (curriculum) is like.

    • @stephanie-algra
      @stephanie-algra  Рік тому

      Hi! It’s definitely a very hard road to follow in the Netherlands, so if you want to go that route I’d suggest doing a ton of research. It’s such a case specific and long answer I can’t possibly help through YT comments. But it’s such a beautiful journey!
      As for curriculum; we use an American curriculum and I teach them in English (I am a secondary school teacher in English by profession). So that’s not super helpful either, lol. But doing daily devotionals with the kids, reading tons of books etc is our daily practice. I have a day in the life video on here as well which you might enjoy! :)

    I’m a SAHM as well! I have 4 children under 5 years old. I’m American but my husband is British and we live in the UK. I’ve just started a blog and UA-cam channel which will hopefully bring in an income at some point.
    I want all the same things you talk about in this video!

      Isn't it amazing how we are all so different?! But I totally see that not everybody can be a sahm, although I think there are ways for more women to make it work for them too. My last video is about how I make it work to be a sahm on one average income, maybe you would like to watch that video too
