What if creating a peaceful home isn't about doing more… but about deciding what you can stop doing?
Over the years, I've tried the routines, the planners, the organizing systems, the pretty homes, and all the things that promised to help me create a more peaceful life.
But lately I've realized that some of the peace I've been looking for has actually come through subtraction.
In this video, I'm sharing the things I've stopped doing in this season of homemaking—from trying to keep my house looking "done," to comparing my home to women online, accumulating more stuff, and letting clutter make decisions for me.
Because a peaceful home doesn't have to be a perfect home. It can be a lived-in, imperfect, ordinary home where your family can actually rest.
If you're craving a simpler, quieter, more intentional home and life, grab a cup of tea and come sit with me for this conversation. 🤍
And if you're interested in joining us for our autumn Uncluttered Faith book study inside the HMH Collective, I'll leave the details below.
