Send me a text about this episode!
We are kicking off our Summer 2026 season today with an article from our brand new resource, Homemaker’s Journal.
It's a seasonal magazine, but so much more than a magazine. Filled with encouraging, inspirational articles from over a dozen homemakers, this publication is meant to be a tool to help you learn and grow as you practice your art of keeping a home and to keep a record of your homemaking.
Over the next 5 weeks, I will highlight some of the articles from our first issue which came out this past May.
If you like what you hear, be sure to grab a digital or print copy over at homemakersjournal.com. This magazine is seasonal in nature, but timeless in its content. So anytime is a good time to get your copy.
Today’s article is from homemaker, writer, and former guest, Christa Sterken. In this beautifully written, thoughtful piece, Christa shares how she has learned to celebrate the everyday in her homemaking through recognizing the Gift of Small Joys.
