I spend a lot of time talking to moms about the struggles of homemaking, homeschooling, family life, and more. Around here in the Proverbial Homemaker community, we like simple solutions that can be implemented in REAL LIFE. Nothing shiny or perfect (who has time for that?), but always making progress, and everything focused on glorifying God.
