Welcome!
If you’re like most of my readers, you desire to create a frugal, healthy home for your families…but you’re often overwhelmed by all of the changes you want to make and by that standard of perfection you can never seem to reach.
You’re committed to investing deeply in your home, but sometimes you just don’t know how to begin!
I know exactly how you feel, because I’ve been there! As a less-than-perfect homemaker, I’ve often fallen short of my homemaking and mothering ideals. I’ve been humbled.
But you know what?
There’s grace.
For me AND for you!
In the nearly two decades since becoming a mother, I’ve learned to give myself grace in this whole mothering/homemaking/healthy living journey. Better yet, I’ve learned to give grace to other mamas around me, too.
Dear fellow mama,
It may seem counterintuitive, but I believe that when we admit our own shortcomings, we set ourselves up for success as women and homemakers.
No, I don’t want you to dwell on negative thoughts. But if you recognize that you need help to create the home of your dreams, then be encouraged: your journey has already started!
What do you need help with?
The mission of this site is to encourage, educate, and empower you to confidently create a healthier home and a more fulfilling family life. Here, we don’t shame, and we don’t strive for perfection. Instead, we focus on lots and lots of grace—for our families, for our children, for our fellow mamas, and, especially, for ourselves.
Readers have often called The Humbled Homemaker the happy middle between “hot mess mom” and “Pinterest perfect mom.” We simply strive for growth. And we believe it’s possible because we’ve seen it in our own lives—again and again and again. We have more than 1,000 posts on this site to help you grow in your motherhood and homemaking journey.
