In today’s episode, we’re talking about something every homemaker faces at some point: how to actually get things done—especially the big, overwhelming projects.

Whether it’s prepping your home for a new season of life, tackling a long-overdue home project, or simply trying to build momentum, this episode is all about breaking things down, staying consistent, and making real progress.

Because the truth is—projects don’t get done all at once… they get done one step at a time. Follow along on Instagram: @untraditionallytraditionalpod Subscribe to my newsletter: www.untraditionallytraditional.com Support the podcast www.buymeacoffee.com/UTPod

Over the past few episodes, we’ve walked through the phases of homemaking from beginner, to intermediate, to advanced—and today we’re diving into the more unique, often old-fashioned skills that feel deeply tied to the heart of home.

These are the kinds of skills that may look a little different for each homemaker. They’re the ones that stir up curiosity, excitement, and maybe even a sense of longing for a slower, more intentional way of life. For me, these are the homemaking skills I hope to keep learning, practicing, and one day passing down.

Part 3 of the Homemaking Levels Series

Welcome back to Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker! In this episode, we’re continuing the 4-part homemaking series by moving into Homemaking 301: Advanced Homemaking.

Homemaking at the advanced level isn’t about having arrived—it’s about becoming more intentional, more practiced, and more confident in the systems and skills that support your home. No two homes look exactly alike, and no two homemaking journeys do either. What feels advanced to one person may feel second nature to another—and that’s part of the beauty of it.

Today we’re talking through what I consider advanced homemaking skills in the areas of food, laundry, cleaning, budgeting, gardening, and entertaining.

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our 4-part homemaking levels series—moving from Homemaking 101 (Foundations) into Homemaking 201: Intermediate Homemaking.

If you haven’t listened to last week’s foundation episode yet, I highly recommend starting there first. Homemaking isn’t something anyone is born knowing—it’s a set of skills we build over months, years, and decades. And even seasoned homemakers benefit from circling back to the basics when life gets chaotic.

Today, we’re leveling up across the categories of laundry, cleaning, food, budgeting, outdoor care, and entertaining—with practical steps you can start using right away.

In this episode, I’m introducing a brand-new four-part series breaking down my version of Homemaking 101, 201, 301, and 401—from beginner to expert homemaker.

We all start somewhere, and too often homemaking content skips straight to the advanced level. This series is about honoring where you are, understanding the skills that truly matter, and building a solid foundation you can return to whenever life feels off the rails.

Today’s episode focuses on Homemaking 101: the basics—because without a strong foundation, nothing else holds. Follow along on Instagram: @untraditionallytraditionalpod Subscribe to my newsletter: www.untraditionallytraditional.com Support the podcast www.buymeacoffee.com/UTPod

I’m back from a week in Italy with a full belly and an even fuller heart after a babymoon trip with my husband—one last adventure before we welcome our baby boy this May.

Inspired by my Lessons from London episode, today I’m sharing the reflections, mindset shifts, and quiet wisdom I brought home from traveling. From marriage and family priorities to style, food, and slowing down, this episode is all about what travel can teach us if we’re paying attention.

Affordability isn’t a hoax—and in this milestone 100th episode, we’re talking about practical, realistic ways homemakers can save money without striving for perfection.

In this episode, I’m sharing small changes that actually add up: what’s worth making from scratch, what tools truly help stretch your grocery budget, and how to balance time, energy, and money in different seasons of life. This is not about doing everything—this is about choosing what serves you right now. Episode Resources

In today’s episode, I’m reflecting on why winter can feel so hard—especially for homemakers—and what I’ve been doing to intentionally combat the winter blues.

This episode is an invitation to ask yourself: What do I actually love about summer? And then, how can you bring pieces of that into winter—right now—to bridge the gap until spring returns?

If winter tends to drag you down, I hope this episode feels like a deep breath, a little encouragement, and a reminder that small shifts really do add up.
