The Ultimate Homemaker

... Where Tradition and Modern meet

The reality is that the role and responsibilities of “The Homemaker” has expanded. As a child of an extended family household, with a grandmother who was a full-time homemaker, I find my home looking a little different…
 As a single, 29-year-old women, who has Faith and Family as the two main pillars of life, I found myself needing more tools than the ones I have. Growing up in a home where my grandmother was a homemaker, I respect and admire the dedication she had to her Family. We are ALL better for it. The Traditions she created and maintained in our family is the foundation of the home I’ve made.

 I grew up with a traditional background. A father figure who worked and supported the entire family financially. He was the disciplinarian and instilled the skills to be self-sufficient. A mother figure who was a full-time homemaker. She maintained the home, took care of the kids and provided both an emotional and intellectual space to cultivate the characters of her children and grand-children.

Growing up my grandmother taught me many things. Cooking: the most enjoyable, fulfilling and family gathering tool that I have. Maintaining a home: which entailed keeping a clean house, using décor to turn a house into a home and create a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. She taught me how to be the hostess with the mostess. Hosting events from birthdays, holidays and everything in between. Lastly, she gave me the tool of unconditional love. She taught me the meaning and importance of Family.

Now, I’ve taken these tools and applied them to my everyday life. However, as a single 29-year-old women I find that I’m needing more.

I live alone and self-sustain myself financially.

I maintain and run my household.

I actively maintain my social schedule.

I maintain a disciplined beauty regimen.

And I regulation my spiritual development   

 

In the year of 2026, I see that my life looks a lot like the women around me….

This blog was birthed in an attempt for me to purse my purpose.

TEACHER. STUDENT. SPEAKER. WRITER.

My hope is that through this blog, a community is created where we can come together to grow, motivate, and inspire the best versions of ourselves.

As I live this life that is mines to live. I find myself asking, can I have it all? Do I have a choose family over career? Modesty over personality? Standards over acceptance? My answer is YES. You can experience and have it all …. Just not all at once.
