"I have so many interests, and feel like I'm mostly an amateur at a lot and an expert at nothing. But all of my gifts and talents center around my role as a homemaker. That's where this blog comes from. I realized that homemaking is my "thing", what I know, what I love, what I'm good at. Don't get me wrong, being a stay at home mom doesn't qualify me as some sort of homemaking expert, but I do think God has blessed me with the particular organizational and management talents to do such a role, and I truly believe that the more I'm devoted to God - my faith first and then family, I can do homemaking well. Let me be clear, homemaking, or managing all aspects of the running of the home, does not mean that I am the perfect mother and have perfectly-behaved kids. I am often failing my kids in disciplining, consistency, (a lack of) patience, providing healthy meals, laziness, and in so many more areas. I've simply found that the more well-run my home is, the less stressed I am, the happier everyone is, and the easier it is to be the mother I want to be. These are my musings about making my house a home. Want to read more about my thoughts about homemaking, read my post on 'The Art of Homemaking.'"
