A Rare Sunday Post And An Adjustment To My Reading Plan

If you recall, back in February, I posted a list of books related to homemaking that I wanted to complete this year, one book for each month. I had planned to begin by reading Keeping Place by Jen Pollak together with you—but this season didn’t unfold the way I expected.

Some ongoing eye issues have made longer reading difficult. I've had to make some adjustments to how and when I read, which has put me behind, and after sitting with it for a bit, I’ve decided not to force my way through just to keep up with a plan. 

Instead, I’m choosing to move forward into our next read, The Happy Homemaker: Tools for a Joyful Life by Marcelle Rohrs, with fresh intention and a bit more grace for where I am right now.

One thing I’m learning in homemaking (and in life) is that faithfulness doesn’t always look like sticking rigidly to a plan—it often looks like adjusting with humility and continuing on.

I will begin reading The Happy Homemaker on Monday, April 6, and following this schedule;

❊ Week 1: April 5 -10

- My Journey As A Homaker

- First, Your Attitude

- Your Evening Routine

- Your Morning Routine

❊ Week 2: April 13 -18

❊ Week 3: April 19 - 25

❊ Week 4: April 26 - May 2

If you'd like to join me I've posted links below to the paperback and Kindle edition of the book, and you could also check with your local library or wherever you purchase books. Every Monday I will post reflections from the previous weeks reading, and if you want to follow along you can leave your thoughts in the comments.

If you’ve already started Keeping Place, I still think it’s a beautiful resource and worth continuing at your own pace.

Thank you for being here with me, even when things shift. If you want to join me in April, here are the links to the book;
