After having my firstborn in 2014, I decided to quit my full time job and become a stay at home mom. It was supposed to be easy. Right?!
Well, it wasn’t!
Most days I was lost, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do, but at the same time I didn’t know how I was going to get it all done.
I was miserable!
Instead of getting myself ready each day, I spent the majority of my days in elastic waist pants and an oversized t-shirt and didn’t put any effort into how I looked.
I wondered how all the other moms could get themselves together but I couldn’t.
The above picture was taken when my son was 7 months old. I was smiling on the outside, but I was miserable on the inside.
I couldn’t figure out how to take care of myself, keep up with the laundry, make dinner, and be a good mom all at the same time.
Being a stay at home mom was overwhelming, and I desperately wanted a change.
Out of desperation, I prayed, “God, help me figure this out! I’m tired of being miserable!”
God answered my prayer.
I began learning as much as I could about homemaking.
I began following routines and simplifying my home management.
I also searched scripture and found there is so much in the Bible that I could apply to homemaking.
Then we welcomed our 2nd born. This time around, I was in a much better place as a mom and homemaker. Now I can truly say I have the BEST job.
Currently, I’m a full time stay at home mom who homeschools my 2 elementary kids.
And after the kids go to bed, I blog here at Queen of the Household and share videos on YouTube.
I love encouraging other women to embrace homemaking through practical tips and biblical encouragement.
