Do you hate menu planning? Meal planning is hard - it’s so easy to waste time menu planning. Overcomplicated, elaborate plans are a waste of time
You don’t need a menu plan, but there are 3 things you do need - 
1. You need a master list of family favorites.
2. You need some themes for certain nights - Make planning as simple as taco Tuesday!
3. You need to streamline your food routines - that’s going to be the focus of the next few episodes on this podcast - especially the next video about having a meal strategy rather than a meal plan you have to redo every week from scratch.

What is Simply Convivial: Biblical Homemaking, Homeschooling & Mom Life—Without Burnout?

Homemaking and homeschooling can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. If you’re a Christian mom longing for a well-ordered home, a peaceful homeschool, and a joyful heart—without the stress or burnout—you’re in the right place. Moms can be productive and peaceful when grounded in Scriptural truth.

I’m Mystie Winckler, homeschooling mom of five, founder of Simply Convivial, and your guide to managing both home and heart with faith and focus. Here, we talk about biblical homemaking, sustainable homeschooling, and cheerful productivity—all through the lens of organizing your attitude and embracing your God-given calling.

In each episode, you’ll find practical homemaking systems, homeschooling strategies, and mindset shifts that will help you manage your home without perfectionism or frustration. We’ll tackle topics like:
✔️ Christian homemaking routines that actually work
✔️ Productivity, mom-style
✔️ Homeschooling with peace—even when life gets messy
✔️ Time management for moms (without rigid schedules)
✔️ Decluttering your home & your attitude
✔️ How to be diligent, not just busy

Motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint. You don’t need more willpower—you need a grace-filled, biblical approach to managing life at home. Let’s cultivate faithfulness, embrace joy, and build habits that make home a place of peace and purpose.
