Do you have homemaking goals for the coming year? Do you want to make real progress at home in 2026 but don’t want another year of overambitious goals that fall apart by February? You need Community Coaching: https://simplyconvivial.com/coaching
In this episode, I walk through three ways to set homemaking goals that actually fit mom life. Not business goals. Not productivity guru goals. Homemaking goals that work when your days are interrupted, your plans change, and real life keeps happening.
You’ll learn why focusing on basic daily routines matters more than big projects, how choosing a word of the year can shape your attitude and habits, and why accountability is essential if you want progress instead of perfectionism. This is about steady improvement, not picture-perfect outcomes.
If you want to invest in your home, your family, and your calling as a homemaker without setting yourself up for failure, this video will help you think clearly and plan wisely for the year ahead.
Christian homemaking takes deliberate practice, not perfect systems. Every week on Simply Convivial, I share practical mindset shifts and small, steady habits that help you build a home anchored in truth and run with cheerful consistency. If you want less overwhelm, stronger routines, and a more faithful way to manage your day, you’re in the right place. Grab a basket of laundry, press play, and let’s grow in cheerful productivity together.
