👰🏻‍♀️I read 50 books on being a housewife to learn these 10 lessons...

Learning how to be an efficient and successful housewife seems to be an overlooked skill these days. Rarely do I find mothers talking about the mindset and practical steps beyond how to clean and tidy a home that make the biggest impact on your relationships with your husband and children. So I set out with a mission to learn from an older generation of women who weren't distracted with the digital age and whose sole focus was on raising kind and hard working children, having a strong relationship with their husband, and who take their role as care taker as the most important one in life. I learned a TON and wanted to share with you! Honestly, this is just scraping the surface. I also read a lot on marriage...maybe I should do a part 2 on marriage lessons? Let me know!

I have 3 kids under 3 and the youngest is 2 months. I decided to approach my home as a business and organize my day as such. My mommy "work" uniform I decided was going to be scrubs, they are comfy, light weight and there are lots of pockets which I need for gathering items throughout the day. It has helped a lot to dress for the "work" I'm doing as a busy mom and has helped my mindset.

I appreciate you speaking on this when the world is going in the opposite direction 🤍

[JessicaMainous]

Man, this content is so refreshing in the world that we’re living in right now 😅 Thank you, 🙏🏼 SO good and so needed (for me!) 🙌🏼

[dana]

Finally someone who can speak out on this and do it confidently, thank you!!!

I just loved this video. I definitely have noticed a change in my household when I changed my attitude and stopped nagging. We as mothers need to model the behavior we'd like to see in our family.
keep up the great videos 🙏

I loved this video! I actually got 5 minutes into it and I was already so inspired that I got up and took my phone downstairs with me to watch the video while I cleaned up the kitchen (that I knew I was leaving a mess for morning me to clean up!) and I’m so glad I did that. I love that you fully admit that these things are not your natural inclination and that you can tend towards procrastination because that is definitely me. I’m working slowly but surely towards better habits so that my family and household as a whole can be happy and healthy ☺️ Your content since you’ve started doing exactly what you want to do with it has been so life giving, please keep it going!! Thank you 🙌🏻

Watching this, I really feel like I'm on the right track. The most helpful tip was to write down the problems and try to creatively problem solve them. I'm more excited about my day now. Thanks!

[kirstenhess]

Girl! This is just what I needed. Thank you for being bold and not being afraid to share these helpful tips. Our culture is in great need of this right now. Praying God continues to bless your family!

Dying to know where your dress/top is from?! And highly requesting a part 2. ❤️

[hailieestrada]

Getting so much value out of your content! Love these suggestions! And yes, along with some of the other followers, I would love to see more about the 30 minute scheduling and how you implement your daily systems. Thank you so much!

I love every second of this video. YES! I needed this! I love watching the woman you have become, been watching your videos since before your first was born. I’m a stay at home mom of three who homeschools as well! Out of all the videos you’ve made, your newer videos are by far my favorite. Keep being your authentic self ❤ God Bless!

My mom was a SAHM mom / working mom (never a career woman, but several different jobs over the years). My sister and I went to school. She was one of those who did the cleaning, errands, organization, etc. when we were out of the house and figured if we ever had questions about how to do housework beyond the basics, that we would ask.

My FIL and MIL ran a business, plus he pastored for a few years, plus my MIL alternated between homeschooling and Christian school for my husband and his 8 siblings. My husband spent a good deal of his childhood with his grandma taking care of her, so his growing up which pretty much an “all hands on deck - just get it done” type of deal.

Fast forward, and my husband and I married while I was in college. He works at the family business his father started, and I work there part time plus we homeschool. I say all this to point out that probably very few millennials on down grew up in the “typical” home life, and due to the moms working dynamic, a lot of us were never truly apprenticed in the art of homemaking. That’s why many women yearn to learn domestic skills but feel so out of their element with it.

This was incredibly encouraging. As a SAHM of three, I’m at the point of depletion! Thank you so much for making this video! ❤️

Proverbs 13:24- He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

The Scripture does condone child abuse, but it does recommend disciplining your children.

Thanks for this video, so informative and helpful.

[katieweicht]

One of my favorite videos you’ve created!! I’d love to see your daily schedule with the 30 minute increments too! Would you ever show your homeschool routine? My daughter is a year younger than your oldest and starting preschool homeschool this year. ❤️

[MeggieMc]

I’ve been loving your videos about being a happy mama and wife! Please share more! You’re such an inspiration!

[Aztecbeauty]

Your happiness glows up your face I am so happy I ran into your video this is stuff I worked on spiritualy and am still trying incorporate alot of these tips ... im a mom of 3 under 3 and I'm blessed to take care of my children while my husband provides!

[Midnightlibrary]

I used to watch your videos when I was pregnant with my first, when u were pregnant with Annabelle! I loved watching you then and I’m so happy to start watching you again because I also have 3 kids close in age and wish to homeschool. I’m getting so much value from your new content, so thank you!
Id love for you to go over the 30 min schedule you spoke about in another video and also how being pregnant and having another baby soon affects your homeschooling. Tia❤

[KDawnn]

I listened to this while I cleaned and it was so refreshing and EVERYTHING I needed to hear as a housewife!👏🏻😍💕

[amandaf.]

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if I would l be able to relate to this video. I'm a mom of 2 and I work in an office. This video is actually exactly what I needed to hear. I have been having a hard time with ppa and I felt like I was struggling with just keeping up. Thank you for sharing this. And, it's actually nice to hear that your belief in God is helping with your journey, you don't hear it much these days. Thank you Hayley

[MSTiPPYx]

Thank you for your honesty even if you get hate! You’re a brave one.
