A Slow Homemaking Day
Jan 14,2023
Hello lovely friends, Happy 2025.
First and foremost I want to say welcome to my corner of the internet.
This Channel embraces traditional living and homemaking but with a twist on a home on a hitch. We live full time In our fifth wheel, we have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 3 of us. Just because we have a tiny home, doesn’t mean we live a tiny life.

Last June, we sold our house and property to get out of the area we built as the town has changed, but mainly to get out of debt that we no longer could afford with the rising costs of living. Further more, we have decided to move out of our home state completely, and it has been the best blessing from God, trusting his guidance, especially with this New Year.
With the traditional life we have chosen, we live on one income, my husbands. He embarked on a wonderful new job this year that has equipped us to be able to move out of Colorado and onto the road of a dream we have been desperately waiting for.
We are a different breed of creatures, we love vintage things, yearning for the simpler days of the past, while chasing love and family time as the most important things in our life.
The past 9 years I was a quote on quote Boss Babe. I owned my own business and provided for myself and contributing to my household. Jan 14, 2024, I made the decision to close my doors as we need to have me at home with our kiddo. We lived out in the middle of nowhere, and had 0 help with babysitting. Nevertheless, I have chosen the ultimate career, even if society says it is the worst career.
Being a homemaker is more than cleaning and cooking, it is creating a safe haven for your husband, kids and yourself to relax and enjoy your own little kingdom. This life is hard enough, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look for the magic.
Choosing to cook at home, learning scratch made recipes will not only benefit your budget but your family, allowing eating out to be a special treat. Seeing how much money you save will motivate you to continue along with the scrumptious dishes you create.
Something that has been bothering me while I watch popular YouTubers is the need to show counterfeit lives, ones that are complete hogwash to the rest of us. Most days there is nothing that is adventurous, nothing but staying home, but there is magic in the home that you can and must create in order to remain happy and our families happy.
Some days that only requires staying in comfy clothes and shutting the world out while you watch Disney movies all day.
Some days that only requires you cooking and cleaning to get your home back in order for all the inhabitants of the home.
Some days that starts with a warm cup of coffee and watching the sunrise or sleeping in to catch up on what your body needs.
Somedays that is conquering adventure, traveling to far away lands, dancing with the fairies.
But for most days its the little things that make us romanticize our little life. The way God intended us to feel, to rest in his promise and to enjoy his creation and the life that he has gifted each of us, and from my experience its not in the slaying of dragons everyday.
Its the dirty dishes in the sink, the dogs that need to be taken for a walk, the endless amounts of dirty diapers and sticky fingers from lunch. Those are the moments and the days I treasure most.
Being a tiny homemaker in a big world, being a full time rver for the season we are in, being just who I am at this moment has challenges within this life. However, I am able to challenge myself financially, creativity, emotionally because I am stepping into my calling.
The calling I thought I once had was far off from the story written out for me in the stars. I was trying to realign the universe to the way that I wanted it, not seeing its already perfectly painted in the night sky for me to explore and follow.
And that embraces the hand of Jesus to live the way he has asked me to, trail around with the compass that points to heaven.
And your calling for this season, is going to be different from mine, and how wonderful and glorious that sounds for you to find, and be on a different path. Finding out your calling is going to be on heck of an adventure. That I hope you saddle up for.
For this reason, I yearn for you to find the little things, the unpleasant, the cringy moments In life, to be the ones you treasure the most. Not chasing the high of society but finding out your style and how you are choosing to live. Finding your constellation that directs your ship on the dark waters of this earth.
I am sending you blessings and hoping you have a magical day.
