Marci Ferrell from "The Thankful Homemaker" podcast, answers helpful questions such as: what is the biblical support for women to be homemakers, even single women? What homemaking skills do you wished you had mastered before marriage and family? How do you keep the right attitude in homemaking so that you don't neglect or idolize it? What if you don't enjoy cooking and cleaning? What are your favorite homemaking tools? And do you think single women have an allowance to put homemaking on the back burner so that they can prioritize other ministries better? smilingatthefuturepodcast@gmail.com https://thankfulhomemaker.com/podcast/ Recommended Resources Recipe Organization App: https://www.paprikaapp.com/ SH-MOP :https://www.amazon.com/SH-MOP-SH-WIPES-TELESCOPING-ALUMINUM-HANDLE/dp/B0039PEB6W/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=SH-MOP&qid=1642626720&sr=8-2 Wool Dryer Balls: https://www.amazon.com/Wool-Dryer-Balls-Alternative-Softener/dp/B014WOWNAY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1ASPOB0TC68CV&keywords=wool%2Bdryer%2Bballs&qid=1642626780&sprefix=wool%2Bdryer%2Bballs%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-5&th=1 "Laundress" Detergent: https://www.amazon.com/Laundress-No-Laundry-Detergent-fl/dp/B00M9ZQW5Q/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2V58TXN8N2P8D&keywords=Laundress&qid=1642626824&rdc=1&sprefix=laundress%2B%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-5&th=1

"Barefoot and pregnant." It's a pejorative phrase used to demean the work stay-at-home mothers do. The world has evolved in such a way that two working parents isn't just approved of, it's expected. But how should Christian women approach this pressure to send their kids to daycare while they chase their dreams? In this episode, Ciara and Jessi talking with The Thankful Homemaker host Marci Ferrell about what it means to be a homemaker and whether the Bible encourages women to focus on family life or corporate life.  Show Notes:The Ever-Loving Truth & Expository Apologetics by Voddie BauchamThe Gospel Primer by Milton VincentWho Am I by Jerry BridgesPaul Washer Proverbs Season One: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtWJcEn1BoILQaYjTxOyuWVz1HzbmeezlPaul Washer Proverbs Season Two: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtWJcEn1BoII8muCxwJPWe8_7ubBqGqCGVoddie Baucham "Why I Believe the Bible": https://youtu.be/G1XJ7DeR5fcScripture References:Home as Foundational:Genesis 2:18Genesis 2:20Titus 2:5Glass ceiling question & the call of Titus 2:Titus 2:3-5, 1, 10Proverbs 31Work in Our Home Meaningful:Colossians 3:23-241 Peter 2:91 Peter 2:12Colossians 3:1-4Feminism References:1 Timothy 5:10, Titus 2:3-5Ephesians 5:21-331 Timothy 2:121 Corinthians 12Genesis 1:27Galatians 3:28-29John 14:6Psalm 139Worldly Concepts:Deuteronomy 6:6-91 Peter 3:15Picture of Gospel: Mark 8:34Galatians 2:20Philippians 3:8-111 John 3:16

On this podcast episode of Thankful Homemaker, we're talking about how our tongues can get us into so much trouble. We tend to have many words. Many times we're not careful with our words and say things that are slanderous, or gossip or sadly at times even malicious. This should not be for women who love the Lord and are loved and known by Him. Let's encourage each other today to speak words that glorify and honor the Lord.

We are already nearing Christmas Eve and plans that I had to bake or buy or clean haven’t all been finished.  There are gifts I wanted to purchase or send that didn’t happen.  There are cookies I wanted to bake that I didn’t get too and areas I wanted to tidy at home that I didn’t even get close to doing. But I want to share with you today reminders that I’m talking to myself about what I am choosing. I’m hoping to help us keep our focus on the main thing this Christmas season. You can read the full podcast here, but my hope is you will sit with me for just a few minutes of your day and listen in to the podcast and let me pour into you a bit.  Thank you for spending your time with me today - I am blessed by each one of you. Thank you for your prayers, for your sweet notes of encouragement to me and for supporting this little ministry here at Thankful Homemaker by listening in to this podcast. I’ll be taking a break for the next week to enjoy family time. I will see you all next year back here at the blog and podcast. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my dear friends.

It's so easy in the hustle and bustle of busy life to get overwhelmed. To feel defeated. To feel like you are drowning with every day chores and work. So when I got an email from a reader expressed feeling some of this herself, I knew I could identify!  So today's episode is all about that: How do we survive when we feel like we are drowning!  Listen to the Podcast: We also recorded this blog post as an audio podcast. If you want to listen in instead of reading, click play below or do a combination of both  And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.

I leave early and don't get home until 5-5:30pm. Basically my question is do you have any ideas, tips, tricks, etc on how I can squeeze 10 hours (not really but it feels like it) of home chores into 2 hours? Once I get home it's time to fix supper, then spend an hour with the kids in the floor playing, load the dishwasher and maybe throw in a load of laundry. Bed time for my 2 littles is 8pm. I have to be in bed by 9-930 because I'm up at 5am every morning. I feel like I'm drowning!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I get it. I have totally been there. And working outside the home throws a whole other element into the mix. So here are some suggestions or ideas to work through:  Freezer Cooking & Simple Meals  I discovered freezer cooking when I was working full time outside the home and it radically changed the way I approach my kitchen. Now, several years later, I still do routine batches of freezer cooking.  Here are some resources for freezer cooking & simple meals:  An Introduction to Freezer Cooking My Postpartum Freezer Cooking Plan Freezer Cooking Methods A VERY easy meal planning method using PrepDish (Get TWO weeks free through that link!) Prep/meal plan on Sunday evenings Along with simplifying my meal planning and freezer cooking, I usually do a quick prep/meal plan meeting on Sunday nights. I'll quickly review my week, see if I need to stop at the grocery store, etc.  This is the concept that PrepDish does so well! They do all the work for you and then just tell you what to prepare each week! Have kids do the after dinner clean up I hear from a lot of moms who get overwhelmed with dinner and clean up. It's easy to let this get out of control and for it to take several hours each day for dinner time and clean up.  If you don't already, get your kids to help or DO the after dinner clean up. If you have older kids you can assign them the tasks of cleaning the kitchen after dinner. Even 2-year-olds can take their plate and fork to the sink or dishwasher. 4-year-olds can do the same, help unload the dishwasher, wipe down the kitchen table, etc. It's all about training them young to help and participate!  Creating a weekly cleaning list - move through different target areas per day  I love this concept for keeping up on the deep cleaning chores of your house when you don't have a lot of time! You can easily assign different tasks or areas in your home to different days. I.e. Monday is bathrooms, Tuesday is mirros and windows, etc.  Marci from Thankful Homemaker has some great examples of this for weekly, monthly, and yearly cleaning plans!  Getting a solid night time routine down I think the nighttime routine is one of the MOST important routines you can establish. If you establish a solid evening routine, your morning will be set up so much better and will flow into the rest of the day. I personally aim for a few things in my evening routine:  A neat and tidy kitchen (notice I  didn't say perfect!) I peek at my schedule/meal plan for tomorrow Set the timer on coffee for next morning Marci has a great evening routine article with some more things to think through.   Pair down to the essentials in this season
