Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our 4-part homemaking levels series—moving from Homemaking 101 (Foundations) into Homemaking 201: Intermediate Homemaking.

If you haven’t listened to last week’s foundation episode yet, I highly recommend starting there first. Homemaking isn’t something anyone is born knowing—it’s a set of skills we build over months, years, and decades. And even seasoned homemakers benefit from circling back to the basics when life gets chaotic.

Today, we’re leveling up across the categories of laundry, cleaning, food, budgeting, outdoor care, and entertaining—with practical steps you can start using right away.

In this episode, I’m introducing a brand-new four-part series breaking down my version of Homemaking 101, 201, 301, and 401—from beginner to expert homemaker.

We all start somewhere, and too often homemaking content skips straight to the advanced level. This series is about honoring where you are, understanding the skills that truly matter, and building a solid foundation you can return to whenever life feels off the rails.

Today’s episode focuses on Homemaking 101: the basics—because without a strong foundation, nothing else holds.

I’m back from a week in Italy with a full belly and an even fuller heart after a babymoon trip with my husband—one last adventure before we welcome our baby boy this May.

Inspired by my Lessons from London episode, today I’m sharing the reflections, mindset shifts, and quiet wisdom I brought home from traveling. From marriage and family priorities to style, food, and slowing down, this episode is all about what travel can teach us if we’re paying attention.

Affordability isn’t a hoax—and in this milestone 100th episode, we’re talking about practical, realistic ways homemakers can save money without striving for perfection.

In this episode, I’m sharing small changes that actually add up: what’s worth making from scratch, what tools truly help stretch your grocery budget, and how to balance time, energy, and money in different seasons of life. This is not about doing everything—this is about choosing what serves you right now.

In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on why winter can feel so hard—especially for homemakers—and what I’ve been doing to intentionally combat the winter blues.

This episode is an invitation to ask yourself: What do I actually love about summer? And then, how can you bring pieces of that into winter—right now—to bridge the gap until spring returns?

If winter tends to drag you down, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath, a little encouragement, and a reminder that small shifts really do add up.
