The English Homemaker – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This episode of The English Homemaker talks about the art of homemaking, what the home is for and why it's vital to society. 'Home' isn't about being a mother or wife, it isn't about home ownership, it's about creating a safe and loving environment for other people to feel themselves, to belong, to become who they can be.

Home can be a place of...

Freedom, Connection, Full bellies, Love, Conversation, Relaxation, Fun, Life, Hugs, Comfort, Safety, Teamwork

It's not about perfectionism or DIY or meal plans or cleaning routines... right?

This episode of The English Homemaker is a little spring catchup. I talk about why and how I love to take and preserve photos and videos, and why I take 15 seconds to try and keep happy moments alive.

This episode of The English Homemaker is the season finale, and is a bit of a Q&A, a chat about how to clean the oven, about the benefits of monotasking as it pertains to stress and tidying your brain as well as your home. I answer questions about balancing motherhood and homemaking, and share my heart and thoughts, as usual. Anne of Green Gables: "You can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will". Coming from a cookie-cutter suburban house in the South of England, as always keeping a realistic but fresh view of homemaking. I hope this inspires and encourages you, I am not a perfect homemaker but I try my best to keep learning, and I want to share my journey with you.
