Simply Homemaker with Kay

Hello friends,
I’m so excited to start this new blog and share a little piece of my homemaker journey with you. I’ve always loved decorating my home for the holidays, shopping for new décor, and making my space feel warm and cozy. Being a homemaker gives me the flexibility I need to enjoy my family, travel, and work toward financial freedom.

But homemaking isn’t always easy, and I know many of us face the same struggles.

The Biggest Struggle for Homemakers

One of the hardest parts of homemaking is keeping the house clean and meals ready especially when you have kids. Some days it feels like there’s just not enough time. And I get it, because I’ve been there too.

My Simple Tips for a More Peaceful Home

Over the years, I’ve found little things that make homemaking feel less stressful and more peaceful:

• Playing instrumental music while cleaning or studying.
• Lighting candles and sipping on a warm cup of tea.
• Creating a cozy mood that makes cleaning feel less like a chore and more like “me-time.”

Balancing Kids, Cleaning, and Me-Time

The truth is, balance is possible but it looks different for everyone.
For me, I clean when my kids are at school or asleep. My real me-time happens at night, when the house is finally quiet. Sometimes the grandparents step in and give me an extra break, and that helps more than they know.

Tools That Help Me Stay Organized

I’m old-school at heart. My favorite tools are simple:

• A notebook and pen for jotting things down.
• A calendar to keep track of appointments and routines.
• A to-do list to keep me focused on what really matters each day.

Advice for New Homemakers

If you’re just starting your homemaker journey and you feel overwhelmed, here’s my advice:

• You’re not in this alone. Find a group of women like you for support.
• Don’t stretch yourself thin. Take breaks when your body tells you to.
• It’s okay to cry. Let it out and move forward.
• Ask for help. Lean on family or friends when you need a break.
• Find a hobby you love. Even better if it can bring in income, too.

Homemaking isn’t about being perfect it’s about creating a space filled with love, rest, and peace.
