Plus, a favorite book passage that completely changed how I'm thinking about the little things in my home that are either supporting me or burdening me.

Getting Ahead Before Baby: Organization, Health & Hard Truths

In today’s episode, I’m sharing an honest look into my third trimester—what I feel like I’ve done really well, and a few things that… didn’t go so well.
It’s easy to only share the highlights, but I’ve always believed there’s just as much value in talking about the mistakes—especially if it helps someone else avoid them.
I walk through how I’ve been getting ahead before baby arrives, the systems that are actually working for me, and the things I’ve had to let go of in this season. I also share a couple product reviews I promised I’d report back on (including one I wouldn’t recommend), and a communication misstep I made that turned into a really important lesson.
If you’re in a similar season—or preparing for one—this episode is a mix of practical tips, mindset shifts, and real-life reflection.Follow along on Instagram: @untraditionallytraditionalpodSubscribe to my newsletter: www.untraditionallytraditional.comSupport the podcast www.buymeacoffee.com/UTPod  

Tackling Projects: How to Start, Plan & Actually Finish

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: @untraditionallytraditionalpodSubscribe to my newsletter: www.untraditionallytraditional.comSupport the podcast www.buymeacoffee.com/UTPod  

401: Specialized Homemaking

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.Follow along on Instagram: @untraditionallytraditionalpodSubscribe to my newsletter: www.untraditionallytraditional.comSupport the podcast www.buymeacoffee.com/UTPod  

Homemaking 301: Advanced Skillset

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.
