It was almost dark, I had so much to do, no dinner plan. I almost skipped my daily walk at the beach. I committed to every day in September. I missed yesterday, bc I was out of town, but have kept my commitment every day that I have been home. As soon as I smelled the salt air and felt the breeze, the tension in my shoulders started to loosen, and I breathed deeply for maybe the first time all day. Why is it so hard to choose self care over productivity?!

Hi sweet friend, I’m so glad you’re here. This group started in the most ordinary but special way. One night, I was sitting on my balcony with my boyfriend, eating dinner, sipping wine, and dreaming out loud about how amazing it would be to have friends who shared the same passions as me. I kept imagining what it would look like to create a space just for women like us, a place to laugh, learn, and feel less alone. When I woke up the next morning, my sweet boyfriend had surprised me by creating this group. Honestly, that moment was such a motivator for me. It made me realize even more how much I want to learn to love and serve him better, and also how much I long to hear from other women about the unique ways they pour into their homes and relationships. A little about me: I’ve loved homemaking for as long as I can remember. My mom worked as a house cleaner when I was little, and I’d tag along to help. That’s probably where I picked up the joy of noticing details, like folding towels just right or wrapping a gift so it makes someone light up. Even through college and now post-grad, I’ve realized how much those small things matter. Creating a cozy, cared-for space is something I can’t help but love. But here’s the truth: being in your 20s is not easy. I know from personal experience, it can feel lonely, confusing, and like you’re supposed to have it all figured out when you really don’t. That’s why this group matters so much to me. How to Housewife is here to remind us that we don’t have to do it alone. It’s a place where we can laugh about the flops, celebrate the little wins, share what’s working in our homes, and pour encouragement into one another. Think of this like a cozy sisterhood. We’re not here to be perfect, we’re here to grow together and make homemaking feel life-giving, not heavy. Now I’d love to hear from you! To start us off, share your name and your favorite Bible verse right now and why it’s speaking to you. I’ll go first in the comments so you can see an example. I can’t wait to get to know you, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. 💛
