Homemaking – A Work In Progress (Plus an AMAZING Resource for you!)
Two sisters. Same parents. Same type of upbringing. Same goals for their lives.
Totally different personalities.
Having been raised by a mom who was strong in organizing, list making, and delighted in all things homemaking, one sister has followed in her mom’s footsteps while the other one has struggled to keep up with it all.
Just as an example, one sister writes down things on her to do list after she has done it, just so she can get the joy of actually checking it off. The other sister only shakes her head at the thought of doing such a thing.
You might have guessed it. I’m talking about my sister and I. We are the best of friends, but when it comes to housekeeping we are o-so-different.
The other day my sister was lamenting about how messy her house was. I kinda smirked inside and told her I had to see this, so I followed her into her house. Her “mess” was laundry that needed folded in the living room (nothing else was out of place) plus some dirty dishes in the sink. Gasp. 😉 I mean, I’d feel like I was having a Martha Stewart moment if that’s all I the mess I had in my house, lol.
Growing up I always wanted to be just like my sister. When it comes to homemaking, I still wish I had her ability to just instantly jump in and know exactly what to do. I have not accepted defeat though. I continually work and strive to learn how to organize and tend to my home better. I’m determined to conquer this!
I was honored, humbled, and downright scared when I was recently asked to speak for an online homemaking conference.
“Me?!” I thought.
However I quickly grew excited about the subject I was asked to speak on. While I don’t have an amazing checklist system, I do have experience on working from home and keeping up a house at the same time. There’s something to be said for that!
I’m excited to tell you about this conference! The second annual Homemaking Ministries Online Conference 2015 is designed to encourage you in Gospel-Centered Homemaking and promises to give you the tools you need to thrive in your home.

Join us this year for a blend of Biblical and encouraging content mixed with practical and hands-on advice for effectively and efficiently managing your home for God’s Glory!
There are 12 different sessions, which are videos that you can watch or listen to as you are busy doing other things (like the endless pile of laundry that needs folded!).

Some other freebies that come along with this conference can be seen below.
Encouragement that homemaking is important, and training in how to do that is not easily found. It’s not valued like it should be, therefore the training is often hard to find. This conference would even be excellent for your teenage daughter to watch as she learns about homemaking!

Let me guess, your sister’s the firstborn, right? B/c adding things to a list just to have the joy of crossing it off is such a firstborn thing to do 🙂 It’s a firstborn trait I have too. Thought I can’t say my house always looks like you describe hers!
Yes! She is the oldest child. 🙂
Caroline, Don’t be too hard on yourself; if I remember correctly, you have a passel of kids and she doesn’t. It’s a huge difference. I was very organized before I had kids, too. 🙂
Thank you for that! I remind my husband that our house WAS clean and tidy all the time when we were first married. 😉
I am the firstborn and I do the same thing! Very fulfilling. 🙂
