I think we've lost something in treating homemaking like it's less than. Like it doesn't require skill or intelligence or creativity. Like it's what you do when you have no other options. But I look at everything a home actually requires — and it's enormous. And beautiful. And endlessly worth learning.

My faith tells me that the domestic life isn't small — it's foundational. The place where people are shaped. Where character is formed. Where safety is either present or absent. That's not a small stage 🙏

I'm not experienced. I'm still learning. Half my attempts in the kitchen are experimental at best 😅 But I want to learn. I want to become someone who knows how to build warmth into a space where people feel genuinely held.

I don't think that conflicts with being modern or ambitious. I think it adds to it.
