Episode 220 | Inspiration for the Homemaker: Creativity, Contentment, and Growth | Andrea of Pine and Prospect Home
I love sharing about what I am doing in my home as a homemaker – the meals I’m cooking, the decor I’m bringing in, the systems I’m maintaining – but this episode goes even deeper into homemaking. I am chatting with my friend and fellow blogger Andrea about the heart behind our homemaking pursuits. As wives and mothers who have been learning and loving homemaking for well over a decade, we want to encourage you to see the beauty and creativity and opportunities that are available to you as a homemaker. May this episode empower you to reject negative depictions of homemaking and to fully embrace the powerful calling of caring for your home and family.
In this episode, we cover:
- Andrea’s journey into creating a home decor blog and where she is headed now
- All about the incredible resource Andrea has created to mentor homemakers
- Exploring the creativity available to us as homemakers
- Keeping inspiration and beauty in your home during bleak winter months
- The challenge of comparison and discontentment in our connected world
- Acknowledging the uncomfortable truth about time management
- Breaking out of overwhelm and growing your homemaking skills little by little
