Homemaker Day in the Life 

I feel women have been almost pushed to work outside our home, to succeed in the corporate world, to work long hours, to be managers. Almost nobody understands the true importance of having more homemakers in the world, raising happy kids, building successfull relationships, making a home beautiful, cozy and safe. I Believe in my heart that this is our most important role, it doesn't bother me if people think i'm old fashioned or against feminism

“Never underestimate the value that you bring to your family.” Thank you for the encouragement! It feels countercultural to be a homemaker.

If a woman is blessed with a good husband and father to the children, she would be lucky to stay home and be a good loving wife, mother and teacher to her children. To make a warm cozy home with great smells coming from the kitchen is a wonderful gift for her family. What an excellent role in life.

I was recently asked my occupation and when I told the person I was a home maker they were like that's great, not many people do that any more, we actually call it domestic engineering now. The more I think about it, the more that bothers me, the term homemaker has connotations of warmth and coziness, of taking care of your family in a loving and meaningful way, it's an art form. Calling it domestic engineering just sounds cold and clinical, more like a career than a lifestyle. Do people really think so little of taking of your family and home? What are they trying to accomplish by giving it a fancy new "important" sounding name? I embrace being a home maker and if anyone ever tries to tell me I'm a domestic engineer again I will correct them.

I love cooking and baking! But some says I wake up and just feel that push to clean. Homemaking is so beautiful and such a gift we can give to our families. Love this so much

I receive a lot of gruff from "successful" women in my life because I inspire to stay at home & raise my kids this way. Thank you for sharing the importance of this role, it's truly inspirational

I love the term “home keeper”. It gives honor to the maintaining of a home. Setting things up is more “exciting”. But keeping it a home, day in and day out- that’s where the rubber meets the road. Such a gift to be content in your role. Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family Lisa.

This was lovely. As a wife who has been home for 26 years, a Momma for 25, I've had some time to weed out what is and isn't important. The work we do in our homes IS important. It sets the foundation for everything else in life. It may be hard, and seem to be impossible at times, every bit of it is worth it.

Thank you for this. I think in today’s society they under value the art of homemaking. When people used to ask me what I did I was always respond, “I’m just a stay at home mom.” I think we need to change the narrative, I don’t JUST stay home. The things I do are very important to my family and I will never regret all of these years I’ve spent growing our family and tending to our home. No cooperate promotion could provide me with this satisfaction

Love this! “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” There is nothing I like better than a day when I don’t have to leave my house! ~Charlotte

Lisa, thank you for showcasing the role of the keeper of the home in such a positive way. It's obvious in your videos that you feel that way, but I appreciate you talking about it too. And your meal looks delicious.

I am the organizer and clean freak, much rather clean and tidy up than cook. That’s why you are so inspirational to me bc you encourage me to cook more homemade meals and to not put excessive pressure on myself to be this “perfect” stay at home mom. You always keep it authentic. Words cannot express my gratitude. 🥰🙏🏻

I work full time in another industry where I gain a lot of personal fulfillment, but I appreciate homekeeping content because I do indeed keep a home. I’m not able (nor do I desire) to put the time into it that you do but I appreciate that the content you share can help me to take some of the guess work out. When people share recipes, or routines, or methods of doing things it can take away the experimental time of discovering things that someone can do when it’s their full time occupation. For me, I was a homekeeper for a year and did not work. It was one of the hardest years for me personally and I really suffered during it. I don’t have to work, financially we are in a place where I could stay home, but I love my work. In the end, what matters is that women go where they feel called to be. Where they can have a positive impact and where they feel at peace. For me, that isn’t always at home, but for some it is and I’m happy for them 😊

I've been struggling with my "worth" as a full time stay at home mom of 2 and this was what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for making me feel better and realizing that what I do is hard work even if it doesn't seem it

"Never underestimate the value you bring to your home." Thank you for this reminder; I think I needed to hear that this morning.

Morning Lisa .. Your an amazing beautiful woman!! You’re family is so blessed to have such a mother and beautiful wife!!! The fibers of this country would be much more stronger and better with more women like you…☺️

A beautiful documentation of the everyday life. I myself feel so blessed when I come across my children's little messes. Dealing with fertility issues has made me more thankful for the life I have.

Your videos have a very emotional effect on me. They take me back to when my children were toddlers and the joy they brought to my heart. I was a stay at home mom when it was very uncool to do so. I loved every moment of it, even the time we struggled financially. All of my adult children say to me that they had a happy childhood. What more could a mother wish to hear. My husband thinks I’m crazy when I tell him that if I could have another baby I would do it. We have 14 grandchildren and they are all teenagers now. I miss having an infant to cuddle with. You are truly blessed and a wonderful homemaker. I wish I had a baby carrier like yours, it’s gratifying to watch you do everything with your son so close to your heart. Happy New Year and God bless you and your family. ❤️

The best thing you said in this whole video is that the best part of your day is taking care of your family. As a mom with children in their 30's, I can say that this is the most important part of every day. Your children are watching and they know that you love them by the actions you are taking. Seriously, this makes me cry happy tears :)

The comment about your best day is being at home taking care of the family, I'm the same way. I have to work outside the home but I've been off between Christmas and New Years and days that I get to be home are the best!! I love watching you work in your kitchen, one of your boys behind you seems to be drying some dishes and your other children are working with you in the kitchen. Such a blessing and wonderful memories you are making.

I haven’t finished watching this but the words on the thumbnail said “keeper of the home” which sounds so epic if you say it like Gandalf from Lord of the rings… or some awesome epic story where there is the “keeper of the gate” or “keeper of treasures” and the like… because as much as there’s the ordinary, “I picked up this room and washed these dishes 3 times already today” tasks, those tasks are important and a mom in the home has a very important job beyond what is tangible and what can be seen from the outside looking in.

Thank you. I needed this reminder. My mother took great pride in being a homemaker. My parents had a business. We grew up with her working full time in the home for the home and the family business. She was proud to be doing both jobs. She excelled at both. I do not think she ever received the recognition that she deserved. She had self satisfaction, self motivation. Recognition was not there. I feel bad that we as children or adults never gave her that, for herself or her hard work put forth daily. Looking back we took advantage of her. She sewed many of our clothes 60 years ago. Made her own stylish clothes. Baked bread, made pasta. Walked a mile to the farmer down the road to get fresh milk with 5 kids in and out of a wagon. Taught us tennis, manners, canning, music, ast and so much more. I could go on. Thank you for carrying on traditions that so many women excelled at with little to no recognition.

I am young woman working in the corporate world. While my work gives me so much joy and purpose, I also love (some!) homemaking, and I have a lot of respect for full time homemakers. I’m choosing to not have children, but I love making a warm space and comforting foods ❤️ Hats off to you full-time homemakers! True feminism is cheering on either choice 🥰

It's the way God intended for women to stay home and take care of the family you are doing a wonderful job

I feel I need to be completely transparent. When I first became a mom in 2016, I didn’t know if I wanted to be a homemaker. With life happening I became a stay at home mom in 2016. There where many times I still fought myself on being a homemaker. Fast forward it’s 2022, and I’m pregnant with my 4th baby. I absolutely love being a homemaker because it brings me joy and happiness . I also homeschool and I truly cherish my children

I have been feeling in a rut with all the repetition. Thank you for the beautiful and gentle reminder that our work is sacred. This is my favorite video of yours to date.

My whole life I’ve only ever heard from my mom that she loves taking care of our home . 🖤 She certainly doesn’t go unnoticed around here and she makes sure my dad doesn’t go unnoticed either in his work. They’re a team. ✨

I was lucky enough to be a full time mum for both of my children and then for both of my grandchildren 🤗 they have all gone to lives of their own. I now work full time as a teaching assistant at a school for special needs, I love it but it keeps me away from looking after my home. I miss baking, sewing oh just making home but these kids I work with bring so much joy. Oh by the way I am 62 years young. Absolutely love your family. Take care and stay safe 🤗

God bless the keepers of the home. There are so many skills and values to be passed down. I’m so thankful everyday for getting to be a homemaker and raise my children. Now I have grands and work but thankful just the same. Bless you all hope you have a Happy New Year.

I’m totally the same way! Love the cooking and food! Excited to be reaching towards our goal of a homestead 🙏🏼

Hello Lisa! Just want to let you know that you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing the real! We are a farm family and we homeschool as well! We have cattle, sheep, goats, bunnies, puppies, miniature donkeys, miniature horses, birds, etc… Our fourteen year old girl is the voice behind our channel! We just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for inspiring us by doing your day in the life of you!! We hope you and your dear family have a blessed New Year!

Im a homemaker. Just realized that. I always liked doing housework. I cant work a "day job" because of rotten jealous people that are everywhere. I take care of my home,my mother and my animals. I know how to cook,clean,wash,repair and still learning.

so blessed to see a woman serving her family and embracing homemaking. so difficult, but rewarding. thank you for this calm and encouraging video.

I can’t express how beautiful this video is. All the ways we homekeepers serve our family and create a beautiful, comforting, safe environment for our families ought not be taken for granted or underestimated. It’s a big job and a rewarding one with the right attitude and understanding of purpose. Thank you for your encouragement and videos.

Taking care of your home for your family is the most important work there is.

After a morning of preparing breakfast, getting the kiddos ready, and prepping a lunch for my husband, grocery shopping, restocking the fridge and pantry, I am finally able to sit down and have some lunch. I'll be honest I have more to take care of today and I was feeling overwhelmed but the serene and relatable content in your video helped me to relax. If you can take care of your home and 7 kids then I can manage just two kids and an apartment. Thanks for the motivation!

As someone who has been a mom of 4 for almost 22 years, I am so happy to see younger women find joy in being a homemaker. I started out working full time with my first two boys, and it really wasn’t making sense for almost my entire paycheck to go to daycare. So we made the decision for me to pursue being a personal trainer and Pilates instructor. This allowed me to take my boys with me to work and be there for them. 2 more kids later (14 and 16) and I find the work is just as needed as it was when they were little. The house still needs to be cleaned and we have chickens and I started a garden. I cook every meal here and all our kids still live at home. Sometimes times have been super tight with money, however I have learned so much over the years and wouldn’t trade any of this for any amount of money.

Love, love this video. Does Theo sleep better all snuggled with you than in a bassinets? He looks so cozy and happy. You are an amazing Mom and homemaker. I imagine snow days are fun with hot cocoa and soup cooking while the children play in the snow. Bless your family!

Theos itty bitty baby foot sticking out😍😍😍❤

I have always felt so envious of mothers who have the privilege of being able to be a stay at home mum or full time home keeper, I worked two nights a weeks as a nurse while my boys were small to maintain a very modest lifestyle and realise I spent most of those years exhausted. Being a mum can be hard but it’s the best job in the world x

This video unexpectedly brought me to tears. Quiet, peaceful tears. What a beautiful life you lead. Your family is so blessed to have such a strong, dedicated mother at the head of the home. You inspire me. Thank you for allowing us into your life in this way. ❤️🙏🏻

Who else can change the world more but we who keep the home? ❤️ thank you for you calming and motivational videos! I don’t know how you do it all- cooking, babies, video editing etc. but we are all cheering you on!

Thank you for this, I am a full-time homemaker and I've had people say to me "what do you do all day long," it used to bother me, but, not anymore, because I love it! I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and it makes me so joyful. I love your videos

I am 34 and have been a SAHM for two years. I went to college, traveled, and had a career. At times I feel like I am not living up to people’s expectations because I don’t work outside the home anymore. I sometimes internalize that, get down on myself, and start wondering if I should go back to work. But I love our life! We are all happy, the kids are thriving, and there is less stress and “grind.” Not that it’s always sunshine and roses, but this is working for us all. I remember growing up with two working parents and the stress and anxiety were always through the roof. Once my brother became a teenager he was almost never home to get away from it. I really appreciate hearing from people who value this work.

What a beautiful way to “serve your family” by taking care of the house!! Sometimes, I forget that and I thank you for reminding me of it!!

Commenting before I watch entire video, but Happy New Year and God bless y’all ❤️🌻🌻🌻

I'm not religious first off, and I do know that to some in America there is a religio-cultural tacet to home-making which doesn't always sit comfortably with me, but I loved this video because I really love those days too! When life slows down and repetitive tasks bring a comfort and a stability to a day. I try to do this at weekends. Being at home and caring for your home is something everyone on the planet can enjoy I think, because its your space of safety. From my perspective, I think part of why women have been so devalued is because this unpaid labour is totally ignored as a contribution to the economy and labour force, and in European and North American capitalist society that labour is overwhelmingly performed by women. I'd love to see more boys and men being encouraged to find this solace in making their home, as I think its something that brings so much to our mental health and connection to our environment and family, and its also a major life skill! Most people can't stay at home full time, but just finding some joy in the otherwise mundane is so healthy. This is why I love this channel, because while I don't always align with your culture, its these joys of life I can remind myself of and enjoy with you.

Lisa, you are such a blessing to us all. You are a true Proverbs 31 woman. Happy New Year !!

You are a super woman, I am so challenged with how you worked seamlessly with the baby in a pouch. Love how you first dressed them up and ensured they are warm❤

You're such a great mom and homemaker!

You have created the perfect home imo. I would spend all day in the garden if I could. God bless!

Seeing your daughter being involved so much really warms my heart. I love how you are raising her to model the role of a wife one day. It will be rare to find a woman who naturally takes care of the home and she will be treasured for that. You are an amazing mother and wife. I can't explain how important this is. Your channel brings relief that not all homes are so lost on the web. It's so much peaceful and natural to see your kids involved with everyday life skills. Beautiful. You're doing great, Mama! ❤

I just love this! When I got married 3.5 years ago, I had not a clue how to cook a thing, even a quesadilla! I have always hated cooking because it didn’t come naturally to me and I’d become easily fatigued in the kitchen from my chronic illness. My husband taught me how to cook, and finally as I’m in my final month of our first pregnancy, I am growing more and more eager to begin from scratch cooking as soon as I have an ounce of energy once our little boy is born. I just loved this video because it put into focus what I’ve been storing up in my heart the last few months, that I love and long to do- be a God-honoring homemaker. I’ve been the opposite of you, where I’ve hated cooking and loved the organizing side of homemaking. Now I’m excited to experience the joy of making food for my family along with making our home a haven.

I see that sweet baby’s little foot peaking out of the wrap😀

So refreshing to affirm all these things I love doing for my family, and seeing you do them with so much passion really affirms the value of this essential care. The children feel so secure. Just to hear the sounds ... or our presence and the real work done... I carried my children too while working in the home and to this day they love home and family.

What an amazing video!! As a homesteader and homeschooling SAHM, this spoke so much truth of my life and all I ever wanted to be since my earliest memory was a wife and mother. Content aside, the work into the videos here are incredible. Top notch!

Your family is so blessed!

This is how I always wanted my life to be. I am thankful that my husband finally saw how truly miserable I was out working and how truly happy and content I am to be at home for the last few months taking care of the home, cooking, baking, fermenting, all my little projects. This is truly my happy place! Thank you so much Lisa for letting us see this beautiful part of your life. Such a joy! ❤️

❤️✨🏡…Beautiful Simplicity, Lisa❤️✨ I love how you found Joy in the every day tasks!🌈

No job more honorable or more important ! God bless you Lisa and your beautiful family 🙏🏻♥️

I’m really the only stay at home mom in my family. I worked right up until I had my first and never went back. My husband and I always knew I’d stay home with the kids but my family gave me hell. I love the life we chose for ourselves instead of listening to the negativity.

It’s been a hard adjustment for me becoming a mom and house wife in my mid thirties after working in a career I loved, my heart wants to give my family and kids the best but my selfish side misses my independence. Your channel helps me find beauty in motherhood.

AMEN! Thank you to our homemakers everywhere! Your are important to our society, don't let anyone tell you that you aren't!

Wow you had the definition of homemaking spot on 🙏🏼 your an awesome mama and wife look at those homemade meals you made and the peaceful home you provide for your family. Your a huge blessing to them and they are likewise our blessings. God bless 😊

Great video,and inspiration Lisa! Thanks!

So comforting! Thank you ❤️

I'm new to your channel & I have been binge watching your videos to get caught up! ❤️

I needed this exact message on this exact day. Happy New Year and thank you!

Your job is never ending with no retirement benefits, but I’m sure you love it all, and your family. Happy healthy new year

I love this video so much! So relaxing, yet motivating.

I’ve watched you for several years now, I have lots of babies myself. I’ve always enjoyed your authenticity and just watching you be a mother and all the other many hats you wear. Your family is very lucky to have you. You do so much and make it look effortless. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Awww ❤ Lisa your kids makes me miss when my boys were little! They are so adorable! You and your husband do such an amazing job at taking care of your beautiful home! Happy new year!🎉

Beautiful, lots of beautiful work! Bless you Lisa.

My favorite video from you yet!!! You expressed how I feel about homemaking perfectly. Thank you for sharing the blessed and wonderful life you live with all of us.

I love your stove, it reminds me of the stove my grandma had when I was a kid. We baked a lot of cookies in that oven. I was very sad when it stopped working and was replaced by a modern one (back in the 90s). I have good memories of those amazing times with my grandma. Love your videos, thank you for sharing. 🥰

Oh I needed this encouragement today! Thank you for painting this role in such a positive light.

Thank you so much for the inspiration and encouragement, Lisa. My heart needed this today! Snowed in with three kids can be tricky, but you have helped to change my heart so I can be there for my family.

I love these videos so much, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos for the past couple weeks. You inspire me so much. I am currently pregnant with my third baby and I have a 1.5 year old and a 7.5 month old. Always motivating me to keep taking care of things.

Thank you Lisa! It’s so easy for us women to underestimate what we do. This video warmed my heart. ❤️

This video feels like a gift. Thank you Lisa.

I love how you make keeping a home as simple as possible and focus on the important things and letting the other things not bother you. I love how you put so much love and thought into preparing food for your family. I love how your sweet little guy was crawling on the bed while you were trying to make it. That is real life right there. He just loved the tickle game. Your family is so blessed to have the love you put into keeping your home. I love seeing that sweet little baby sleeping on your chest as you work. Those cute little feet peeking out of the wrap are precious. Keep being you and inspiring others. Your blogs make me smile.

Dear Lisa! Keep such videos coming! Thank you so much for this one!

I feel like you-my favorite days are the days where we stay home. And the kitchen is definitely my happy place.

I love this so much! It applies to everyone, no matter the life stage. It can feel like a drudgery at times and even if you are doing all the home running things for only yourself it is worthwhile. I love the relaxing music and just the aspect of gratitude. It helps to shift the perspective of doing all the things to make your home run from drudgery to blessing. Thank you. And happy new year.

I love this video! Your words were so encouraging to this mama’s heart. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Lisa and Co. all the way from Scotland. A Guid New Year to you and yours for 2022. Thank you for your inspiring videos.

Wonderful video Lisa!!! I couldn’t agree with you more! I loved being at home with my girls and now living with my daughter and son in law and two granddaughters is a true blessing! I love taking care of them!!!

Thanx.needed this motivation for the new year coming up.from this second on i will always tell myself every little bit you do is for your family and yourself.God bless
