Homemaking doesn’t always come naturally. These great homemaking resources will help you be a better homemaker and save money. Gilmour has been kind enough to sponsor this post.
There are likely several things that go into your homemaking. Cooking, cleaning, organizing, shopping, and so much more. It’s a lot of responsibilities and it’s easy to get overwhelmed or feel like you aren’t doing a great job in all areas.
Many people seem to believe homemaking is something that should just come naturally. You may naturally do well in some areas but it’s unlikely someone naturally does well in all areas of homemaking. Continuing to learn new homemaking skills, or improving the ones we already have, can help make our lives better and easier.
There are some really great resources out there to help make us better homemakers and help us to be less overwhelmed. These are a few resources I have enjoyed.
Must-Have Homemaking Resources
1) Say Goodbye to Survival Mode
I loved this book by Crystal Paine. So many of us are living in survival mode and that’s no way to live. Crystal gives great advice that helped her get out of this place and it’s sure to help you as well.
2) The Fringe Hours
I recently read The Fringe Hours: Making Time for You by Jessica N. Turner and it’s great. She gives practical advice for using the bits of time that are normally wasted in your day to follow your passions.
3) Clutterfree
This course is great for anyone struggling with clutter to help you tackle it for good. It’s an easy, self-paced, e-course that you can go through as many times as you need.
4) Home Comforts
Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House by Cheryl Mendelson is an amazing resource. My mom bought it for me when I got married and I refer to it often. It had info on cleaning just about anything, cleaning schedules, and so much more.
5) Meal Planning Printable Pack
Saving money on groceries is always my goal. I’ve been working for years to find ways to save as much money as possible while still buying good, healthy food. I often get asked how I do this so I created the Meal Planning Printable Pack to help. It also contains the printables I use to stay organized.
6) A Good Planner
Homemakers are juggling so many things having a place to keep track of all of it is essential. There are so many great planner options out there now that are perfect for homemakers. Check out my post 10 Best Planners for Homemakers. I share some of my favorite planners.
Bonus
As you can see from the photos in this post I love to have flowers in my home. I consider this a homemaking resource because it makes me happy and makes my home more attractive.
Just for fun, check out this flower quiz, what type of flower am I. I’m a geranium. It’s a fun way to come up with the next flowers you should buy.
Using these resources has really helped me with my homemaking. I also love the community of homemakers in the Facebook group Homemaking for Everyone. They share such helpful information and it’s a great place to ask questions.

I’m pretty good at the actual homemaking skills (well, except sewing) but managing my day in such a way that I can get everything done is my challenge. I’m enjoying the Make Over Your Mornings course, too.

It’s a big challenge! Glad you are enjoying the course.

I love the idea of Grocery University! Very cool. Zero Waste Cooking: I’m a MASTER at that – never thought I’d be able to say that, but we rarely throw out anything. I even keep chicken bones now!
Lisa Sharp
That’s great! I need to still get better at it.
