What does it mean to make a house a home? Does creating a beautiful home really make a difference? Perhaps these homemaking books can offer some insight into the true purpose of homemaking.
Homemaking is such a beautiful word if you think about all that it encompasses. As women especially, we have the wonderful opportunity to take a simple structure, a shelter, and create it into an environment that sparks love and memories.
But, that’s the key isn’t it – your mindset. Do you view homemaking as something you get to do? Is it something you realize is a fantastic opportunity right in front of your nose?
Or do you think of homemaking as something you have to do? Is it something you can’t escape each day and becomes burdensome to even think about?
These homemaking books will help you discover how to change that mindset but also give practical tips and tricks on how to improve your homemaking. If you want to create a cozy and peaceful home that brings love and joy to all who enter, then keep reading!
Let’s check these homemaking books out…

The author of this book calls home the place where life unfolds. How beautiful and true that is! But, she also addresses the culture we live in today – a culture that diminishes homemaking and turns the role from something beautiful to something drudgery.
The role of a homemaker is an eternal role! It’s not just doing dishes, folding laundry, and putting toys away. The role of a homemaker is to create love, bring joy, give blessings, and so much more that can’t be given monetary value.
If you need a reminder of how you can find the eternal impact in your everyday homemaking tasks then pick this book up today!

You can’t deny that most memories are made at home! It’s where we spend the most time with those closest to us. And as the author discovers where happiness comes from, it’s often from the relationships that we invest in.
Our home is what cultivates those relationships. And as homemakers, we cultivate those memories through what we do in our homes.
The scents, the new discoveries, the stories shared, the struggles and difficult times, are all things that make memories. This is one of the homemaking books that will make you want to be more intentional in your homemaking each day!

Your home is a reflection of you and your family. It tells stories, reflects what you value, and creates a sense of security. But did you know that the more intentional you are with your space, the more enjoyable it will be to live in?
I love that this book is so practical on how to really create a home that flows together and therefore, brings peace. Chaos and disorder only cause you to feel distraught.

You don’t have to be a minimalist to enjoy the home you are in, but you do have to declutter often and keep things organized. Organization doesn’t have to be hard either.

Lastly, we can’t truly be good homemakers or enjoy our homes unless we have the right mindset. Life is busy and with the comparison we see on social media every day, we constantly feel like failures in our homemaking!
This book will walk you through the tale of Mary and Martha in the Bible as they were invited to sit at the feet of Jesus. One focused on the busyness of life while the other stopped to listen.
When we draw closer to the Lord it changes our heart attitude! This book will walk you through what putting the busyness aside really looks like and how you can answer some of the toughest questions of “doing it all” in our homemaking.
