Homemaking

Woman's Most Ancient Way of Service.

The Homemaker, the Nurse, and the Mother.

The program provides incentives for practicing women's world-old arts by requiring an elementary proficiency in cooking, housekeeping, first aid, and the rules of healthful living for any Girl Scout passing beyond the tenderfoot stage.

Hey friend, and welcome to the Homemaking with Jesus podcast.

I'm Lakeisha, mom, wife, but most importantly, a child of God.

I understand the overwhelm and the stress of managing your home, the mom guilt and spiritual dryness that you feel from putting your relationship with Christ on the back burner.

and one 10-minute transformation.

I'll show you how these basic routines work, why they adapt better than a rigid cleaning schedule, and how they can help you keep your house humming without turning HomeMaker into a system where we're supposed to run it like machines.

This routine allows me to pay attention to my actual home and my actual life.

And so I want to share it with you too.

Now, if practical Christian homemaking without perfectionism sounds useful, then you have come to the right place.

I talk here all about making plans that serve real family life rather than setting up another standard that you will fail at.
