Registrace 29. 01. 2017
Hello and welcome to my little piece of the Internet!
My name is Caitlin and I run the blog called "Mrs. Midwest." I joined CZcams in 2019 with the goal of creating a haven for traditionally feminine women trying to find their place in this modern world. Being a traditional homemaker and wife myself, it is my aim to help women blossom into their natural femininity through discussions on style, mindset, and relationships.
Our community of #femininewomen is open to women of all walks of life, yet we are ultimately here to amplify the voice of traditionally feminine women and their respective lifestyles. We explore topics relating to elegance, femininity, traditional relationships, and homemaking, with a little bit of my "real" life thrown in.
I am open to partnerships if the shoe fits, but my main goal for this channel will always be to help women blossom into their best, most feminine selves!
Thanks for visiting, and stay fresh!
xoxo,
Cait

Dear Mrs. Midwest... || No. 2 || Questions on Infertility, Mother-In-Law Drama, Friendship, & More!
Not overextending yourself is a big one! Something I am definitely still learning as a wife of 2 years and a mom. It’s a process but I’m making progress ☺️
i really appreciate the message that a healthy family can come from you even though you didn’t from one. for a long time i have tried to force fixing my relationship with my father because i didn’t want healthy minded guys to see me as the girl with daddy issues (aka not marriage material). i recently made the decision to cut him out of my life and my anxieties of being seen that way have definitely risen. i have been working on myself for months now and still have a way to go to be emotionally/mentally well enough to be a good wife and mother, but it really was nice to hear as a reminder. i know your life isn’t perfect but i truly resonate with your content so much because you’re living my “dream” life of being a stay at home wife and homemaker with a healthy and happy, Christ led marriage. I pray for your beautiful family and thank you for your content❤️
Love this video. It’s perfect. Please talk more about the books that have changed your life ( personal growth, finances, etc) I actually got the Empower Wife as your recommendation!
Thank you Ms flirty, half naked"perfect" wife. I've been married 25 years. There's a lot more to marriage which you will learn over time.❤❤
Congratulations
🏅 here’s your medal
I looove that you out out a long video. There was alot of good info...things i know but its nice to get reminders sometimes.You look beautiful by the way❤ Glad you are back....
I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and I just want to say - I’m so proud of you, Caitlin :) you’re truly an inspiration to me.
Dear Caitlin, i am so grateful your videos! I discovered the empowered wife because of your videos and I my relationship is thriving ever since. We even got engaged in May and are soo thrilled! I loved that you touched on the topic of your husband being a different personality than you, it‘s the same with my fiancé. Even though I just like him so much as a person and he got me through so many difficult situations sometimes I get insecure when I see couples that seem to be the same person and personality in two bodies. We are told to find the one who can read out mind and instinctivly know all of our opinions, but I don‘t think that it‘s necessary. Over time you influence and learn about each other, so you might end up knowing everything anyways. Could you elaborate on the personality-part more in a future video? I would be so interested to hear about your perspective on how „compatible“ and „the same“ you need to be to actually be fullfilled together. Lots of love from Germany🥰
I like how well-centered you are.
Hi, can you please show us your workout routine ❤
I have been loving your content lately. I so agree with every point you’ve made, I am also a SAHM coming up on 7 years of marriage. I love your point about remembering that you and your spouse should be BEST friends above anything else. It’s easy to forget that the friendship is really the foundation of a happy marriage (at least for me) and that it’s ok to be vulnerable and lean on each other when things inevitably get difficult. When our FRIENDSHIP is thriving, our marriage thrives as well.
You seriously CHANGED MY LIFE by introducing me to Laura Doyle. I remember the day I prayed to God to help me figure out why I wasn’t loving my marriage and then the next morning I found one of your blog posts about how you used one of Laura’s skills when your husband moved your headphones. Thank you for being a woman of God and being brave enough to say what the spirit inspires you to say. Sending you so much love from a long time viewer ❤
And may you have seven more, and then some!!
Thank you for this message ❤ such a good reminder
Thank you Mrs. Midwest ✨ You are such a classy Lady 🎀 Thank you for sharing heart and helping other wives 🤍 I post nature videos so if you want to check it out you are more than welcome too. 🩷You look like Hollywood ✨ This is so refreshing to hear and congratulations on being married seven years 💕💕💕
Yea no kidding “cheating husbands aren’t there only thing that breaks down marriage”. Women initiate most divorce because they are bored/“fell out of love”
I have never commented on a video before despite following you for years, but this time I really want to 😊 I'm 26 and I got out of a draining relationship a few months ago, where I could never lean into my feminine because he was just not going to do anything for us. That really made me realize what I want in a partner, and that I have every right to lean into my feminine because I too will find a masculine man such as your husband who will be my hero and will allow me to express my feminine side in which I feel so good. You're a true inspiration with your beauty and confidence ♥️
Congrats on 7 years!!! Love this video, thank you for posting! This is such an important topic and your grace on honesty is so necessary, I hope young women can see this and take your words to heart
It was so important for me to hear you say that bit about not getting married “for the sake of getting married”. I would LOVE to be married and having babies, and I’m under a lot of pressure to produce grandchildren ASAP LOL. I need to remind myself that marriage will only happen for me when and if the Lord has that in store for me❤
I’ve been happily married for 3.5 years which I know isn’t really long. 😅 I agree with all your advise. I would add that I work at being a “safe” person for my husband. Like he can tell me anything and I work at reacting calmly so that he always feels he can tell me anything. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything he shares. I just try and be respectful with my reaction. I absolutely love watching your videos. I got into your channel because I had my sons 14 months apart.
That last tip about being a cycle breaker was my favorite. Would love if you made a video opening up more about your childhood experiences, I think it would help a lot of women!
Ah! I never want to pressure anyone to speak on something they aren’t comfortable with but boy, would I love to hear it to! I feel she would have so much insight to offer!
I cannot wait to watch this when I have the time! The life of a mama with a 16 month old that never sleeps....😅
I really appreciate how genuine you’re being. I love this style of discussion
What a great video! I listened while having a big baking day 😁
This was so good! Love having a good longer video to listen to while doing laundry and dishes. Been with my husband for 19 years now. 9 years dating and this will be our 10th year in marriage. We have one child who is 11 and now it seems like life is a little easier and calmer these days. I look forward to more of your videos!
Caitlin, I got so tearful towards the end of the video when you were talking about CPTSD because I also have it, and I feel like I sometimes sabotage my marriage because of patterns I learned in my childhood. I've been a subscriber since 2019 and I adore your videos. Thanks for the sisterly advice xx
That point about not stretching yourself out too thin to be a perfect wife is so valid and important. It's one of the best pieces of advice I got from my dad as an engaged woman. 😅 My dad saw me trying to be perfect at home after I got engaged and he warned me not to expect perfection from myself. The thing is, when you try to be perfect, you also expect that of others and it does lead to resentment. I really need to learn this. Once again, great video! You are wise beyond your years 😂❤❤
I agree very much when it comes to parenting and with extenuating circumstances, however, I do not for a minute think we should be regularly lumping housework onto our husbands IF our job is to be a homemaker.
@Makai-mq2uv It's more so about just doing too much. That's what I understood from her video which is what I do. 😅 I would really be upset with myself when I fall short of doing EVERYTHING and being EVERYTHING. I wanted my fiance to see how good I can be. He too, like my dad will warn me to slow down and relax a bit 😂😂😂. Men value respect and peace more than perfection. If we demand perfection from ourselves, we'll demand it from others and that's not good for anyone ❤ But yeah, you're definitely right on the role of a homemaker. The role and responsibilities is focused on the home. No need to split chores, lol 😅
I’m so happy to be married and live a good life with my husband and our son!. God is good. Thank you for your wisdom.
Perfect timing! I just sat down to knit and listening to you is always so relaxing ❤ I would love to watch a video on how you "rest your femininity" ( i loved that wording, so beautiful)
Love your videos!!!
Would you ever do a parenting/child rearing video?
Vlogging about a good marriage is really important. Good role models are very important. There are no perfect people...real good marriages with real people. Thankyou Caitlin. Being realistic and pragmatic. We grow and learn all the time. God bless you.
Yay, so glad you uploaded the day before I drive by myself 3.5 hours for some medical stuff. Thank you!!!
Safe travels! And good luck with whatever medical stuff 😊
I am enjoying these podcast lengths!
❤
Literally taking notes on this video and did for the last one too. Hope you don’t mind I’m adopting you as my big sister lol 😂❤
Oh, this was wonderful. I’ve been married 17 years and I agree with these. Having just gone through a major health issue it is important to remember not to martyr yourself. I’ve had the best summer!
You look stunning! Such an important message. It’s about loving and cherishing each other. Not servitude. Updated hair care/skin/workout routine?
Married 32 years. Love your channel! 🌸
It reminds me that just as much as its biblical for a woman to respect her husband it's instructed that a man should love his woman. And one of the main characteristics of love is being "patient,kind,not insisting in your own way" : 1Cor 13:5.
Happy anniversary ❤
Thank you! This video was so helpful!
Happy Anniversary!
This is SO important. I love this message.
Thank you Caitlin!!! I relish absolutely every one of your videos. Love the vlogs your creative filming makes viewers feel like we’re there, but i adoreeee your advice videos. I relate to you in so many ways and likewise you are further ahead in your life than me so you’re also a role model :) thank you for your joyful attitude obedience to the Lord!
I love your videos so much! Especially since you’ve gotten into Laura Doyle. I love her work. 🥰 I love your point about martyrdom. I believe women hold each other to *women’s* standards of what it means to be a good wife. While men may appreciate a clean house and home cooked meal the way they would appreciate a tidy roommate and their mom’s lasagna, it doesn’t stir romantic feelings for them. And that helped me let go of the expectations I was putting on myself. I have also gotten criticism from other women for how much help I get from my husband. I think it’s just a sign that you’re following the intimacy skills well. 😅
I’ve been married fifteen years, and we have five boys. My husband and I have a good amount of stress in life, and a special needs adoptive son. So we have the normal ins and outs of disagreement. When we can’t agree, we come to God’s word to unify us on whatever issue we have. And usually one of us needs to humble ourselves in the Lord and get on the other’s page. Anyway, I have made it my life’s purpose to be my husbands best friend, respect him and show him how much I’m thankful for his life. I hardly have to focus on my kids emotional needs because they seems so secure and involved in our family. My husband is very loving towards me, and I notice that other men at church see how much he likes to be with me. It’s a blessing to have a Godly marriage. You have to put the other persons needs first, and in turn that thankfulness for then fills you up.
Love this advice!! So wise.
Thank you for sharing ! ❤ It blessed me
I have to say as a trans women who came to this video for advice, the rant about femininity being in your genes felt... off...
I agree that resentment is the number one relationship killer. And that by saying no more often or doing less it could prevent you from resenting your husband. However, how do you know that by saying no more often and doing less it won’t eventually lead to him also saying no to you more frequently or even him being the one resenting you over time? In my experience showing generosity inspires that in others and the opposite is true too
Really appreciate this video!! So glad you’re back! You have mentioned how you made more friends and have a very social life now compared to when you first started homemaking. Would you be willing to do a video on making more like minded friends? How did you do it?
Yay I’m here on time!! Caitlin I’ve been watching your journey for a while and I’ve been growing alongside with you :) loving these tips! I just passed my 1 year wedding anniversary but we’ve been together for 11 years 😅❤ we have a great dynamic but we desperately need a date night. I have a hard time leaving our toddler and going out and doing that stuff but i need to make more of an effort for sure.
