HOORAY simply wholesome home is live!!!
I am so excited and nervous to share simply wholesome home with you. It has been so encouraging to see so many of you following along with me as I am beginning this project! So many friends and family have supported me by bouncing off ideas, giving honest feedback and teaching me all about how to use this thing called wordpress! Specific thanks to my wonderful husband for his ongoing support and my dear friend Megan at The Common Adventure for teaching me so many things about this blogging journey.

How Simply Wholesome Home began
For the past few years of married life I have worked as a paediatric occupational therapist. Along the way God decided that He would delay us having children. During the period of waiting we were supported by so many people and specifically by those who had gone through periods of infertility before us. Long story short God surrounded us by health professionals, friends and family to explore the root cause to infertility. This opened up a whole new world of natural living, healthy habits and finding contentment in Christ.
Why?
Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way. ~ Booker T. Washington
Since being blessed with our son Jack I have become so passionate about sharing and supporting women in their quest for a wholesome lifestyle. Through my work as an Occupational Therapist I saw the impact nourishing food, natural living, and warm supportive homes has on our children’s development. The wisdom of older women through our Church community and reading has taught me about working hard, learning new skills and full-filling my role as a women of God. Most of all looking to Christ for strength, wisdom, happiness and joy in all things.
I get super excited about new recipes, natural living, creating things from scratch, op-shopping, up-cycling and home organisation. There is enjoyment in these being a homemaker for me. I am learning and growing in this role everyday. As Dorothy Patterson wrote:
“Homemaking-being a full-time wife and mother is not a destructive, drought of uselessness but an overflowing oasis of opportunity; it is not a dreary cell to contain one’s talents and skills but a brilliant catalyst to channel creativity and energies into meaningful work”.
Dorothy Patterson in Rediscovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
Be inspired to work at home with joy and contentment. God has called you to a beautiful task. Let us fulfil our roles in the strength of Christ and in praise for Him!
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men…” – Colossians 3:23
