How to run your home like a business | Home management system
I was once overwhelmed and mentally fatigued by all the responsibilities I have as a homemaker and homeschooling mom. To aid my overwhelm I opted to create a home management binder, inspired by the Flylady. After much trial and error and my need to run our home more efficiently and effectively, like a business, I then developed my now home management system on Trello. Which is working well for me considering I am very visual.
I share this in detail with you in this video.

Hi, love the videos! Please can you do a review video on Impaq as soon as possible! I am on the verge of registering for G1 2025 and would love to hear what you have to say 😊
Hi and thank you so much for your comment. You are right on time, I happen to have been scheduling my videos for this month so I will move the impaq review to next week.
Glory be to God❤🙌love your channel sis..
Indeed, to God be all the glory. Thank you
Oh refilwe I'm glad I've found you're channel... We have so much in common ❤❤
Hi sis, my heart leaps with joy when I meet my kind, I thought I was a unicorn😆
I love you so so so so much. Thank you so much for sharing this , may God continue to bless your union
Amen.. thank you so much 💝
New subscriber ♥️♥️♥️ I have a preschooler, (3.5 years old) what sort of learning and activities do recommend?
Hi Maria, at this age its definitely learning through play. I once did a video sharing what I use for my 3 year old: czcams.com/video/tXCnvxuGfBo/video.htmlsi=ij7jXbxvb06lANry Reading aloud to them is also beneficial as well. To develop problem solving skills, you can get puzzles, building blocks and lego. Introduce numbers and the alphabet creatively by using play dough. A lot of imaginative play, like dress up builds up their imagination.
@@refilwe-matshivha thank you so much, I really appreciate you commenting 😊♥️♥️
Am so happy inspired❤
Glad you found value in this video sis❣
So motivated ❤❤❤thank you
Thank you for this informative video. I really enjoy your channel❤
Thank you sis, truly appreciate your feedback.
Thank you these videos have been super helpful. My daughter is starting Gr 1 next year and definitely going down the homeschooling route❤
All the best on your homeschooling journey.
What a testimony ❤. Glory to God. He first taught me he is provider, before i left my job and that he alone provides to us. Provision can be done in many ways so I should not look at the physical (a job), ravens will come if need be, water will turn to wine if need be, because He is provider. Homeschooling is new to us, we started this year, thank you for being a blessing. Again he has provided me with not just information but assurance I'm not lost❤
God is good, so dependable. Thank you for sharing your testimony, may He grant us the wisdom to homeschool to the glory of His name.
Wow! Thank you for sharing the words of wisdom.
Thank you for the words of encouragement, I needed this word🌻
I feel like we are on the same journey. May God continue to use you to draw women to Himself❤
Thank you sis. Yes yes yes, I visited your side of youtube please we need your homesteading insight🙂, I realise we are on the same path, seeing what you do put a smile on my face.

i love u and this channel i hope u know that cc you just tought me how to perceive seasons in my life and that i have to go through all of them gracefully,you tought me home-schooling,home-making,about how to discern who is enemy i am strenghtned and encouraged,may i humbly ask for a home-making guide please compile a guide on organizing of the home,for finance and daily routines🙏 i will be your 1st customer,you have inspired me above and beyond ke a leboga thank you🙏❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for such words of encouragement, i'm glad that the content I create adds value. It has actually been a desire of mine to create an e-guide I was just not sure whether to focus it on homeschooling or homemaking, so thank you for the insight.

Thank you for encouraging us everyday ma and sharing the word of God ❤❤
Thank you so much for this. its our first year doing grade 1. Recently applied at the DBE and they want report card, from when we started and i wasn't aware. we currently using TGATB. this video has helped a lot.
I am glad it came in handy. You can use canva to generate your report or alternatively if you don't want to do it yourself you can buy assessments only on Impaq, which will enable you to generate a report after doing assessments for each term.
Thank you for blessing us with wise words. ❤
Thank you so much for this video ❤
you welcome🙂
I was afraid to seek this for my future wife. I was afraid that women think its archaic and oppressive. I'm hard so that I can provide thua life for my future family. Id like to have a God fearing, God loving family. Its hard to navigate at my age and this time. Seeing you do it in South Africa is inspiring. Now I'll put my intentions in prayer to God our fathers. Thank you mam
I believe the desire you have itself is from the Lord. Seek him and rest in him, He will join you with a woman who understands her biblical role as a helpmeet to her husband and a mother to your children. Being a homemaker is a privilege, an honour and high calling.
This is beautiful Sis. We are learning
Thanks sis, to God be all the glory.
I love it here, I’m not a homemaker but Refilwe speaks to all women. Minister to us ausi as we reflect on our journeys with God. Your vlogs are so encouraging and healing you have no idea, God bless you
Thank you, sis. I'm glad this is a space that speaks to you, truly encouraged by your comment.
I watched this video so many times because it renews my soul god is good God is my source Isaiah 1:19,20 I will pray for this channel to grow and reach all home makers thank you ❤❤❤
Amen my sis, God is your Source. Thank you so much I am so encouraged.
thanks for the encouragement. i know God is calling me to be a homemaker and i really want to obey, but i eel like now is not the time. i was a stay home wife for the first 6 years of our marriage. this is my second year of work and am the current earner. hubby has been applying but things have been tight and now he is doing a paid internship which will end October. so i have told God am obeying next year. obedience is best, what do i do?
Hi Becky I really do understand your hesitation. I advice that you take time to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting as this is such a big decision for your family and the Holyspirit will lead you. I will also keep you in my prayers and may the Lord grant your husband a stable income. Also find scriptures and the promises of God regarding provision, meditate( study) and declare them over your household.
Woow 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌You are God sent 🙏🙏🙏
❤❤ so good
I love this channel
Greatly encouraged. Love your videos. God bless the works of your hands, as well as your household. Kindly share the scriptures in the description box. Thank you
Thanks sis, will definitely add them.
Just added the scriptures😉
I love ❤️ THIS So many influencers are all flashy and fluff. It is refreshing to see a godly woman in modest devotion to the Lord and her family.
Thank you, I am encouraged.
Hi again cc ❤❤❤ thank you again for the assesments,canva and report cards i will use them as guidance at last i am done as far as assesments and report cards are concerned as for the time tables and lesson plans are concerned i have created a strict caps lesson plan exactly like impaq but only to get approval from the dbe otherwise eclectic for me is the one,why because i need to incoperate christian based subjects like from the good and the beautiful so the impaq lesson plan is for applying with the dbe and i am still working on adding my ideas to the impaq lesson plan thank you cc you are the best we love you ❤❤❤
You are on the right track, i'm also going back to eclectic for the very same reason. Thank you, God is good he has provided us with knowledge now let us run the race He has marked out for us.
Hi cc thank u for being such an inspiration to my life i have been so busy trying to do courses,online,on youtube and everywhere just to get a skill to get a job i even missed this video but after much prayer with this video you made me realize i need to thank god and be content i was not even happy with these courses suggested by family and friends and at the end of the day i am the one who is always stressed and tired thank you🙏🌻❤❤❤
Hi sis I pray that the Holyspirit lead you and order your every step that you may live in the perfect will of God for your life. I fully understand and know how frustrating it is. I wrestled with God after being retrenched because i thought i wanted to go work outside of the home, i kept on praying for a job under pressure because family was telling me being a housewife is out of fashion and how we couldn't live on 1 income but that was a big lie. The Holyspirit revealed the will of God for my life and showed me how my work in the home is so important. It is so sad how society has programmed people to think that raising children and keeping your home is not work and it's useless. I am glad you found value in this video.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it❤
It's a pleasure.
New subscriber❤ learning a lot from you❤
Hey sis so good to have you as part of this growing family. You are most welcome.

New subscriber here 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yay! Thank you!
Beautiful vlog as always ❤️
Thank you 😊
You are God sent , I went through depression aswell when answered my call of being a homemaker , especially because of friends and family making comments that I am wasting my life and education but after 3 years in it now I am getting more confident each day and embracing my role as a homemaker, I love serving my family and home ❤️ and God also gave me wisdom on how I can still use my qualifications within my role as a full time homemaker by starting this channel and being a finance content creator 🙏 And I am so grateful for my position and so happy to see other sisters out there embracing this fulfilling role ❤️God bless you and your family 😊 And may he keep using you to empower us 😊
Wow sis, God is so good. He really makes all things work together for good. Your testimony is really encouraging. I truly rejoice when I see fellow sisters thrive in their homemaking. Thank you for sharing your story it truly blesses my heart. Continue to be a blessing to your family and the finance world.

Thank you for the feedback. Just added the recipe for banana muffins and the granola I made in the video in the description box.
I have observed that being a wholesome Homemaker is largely inspired by a spouse who leads effectively, one who motivates and gives confidence for one to do what they're called to do, removing all judgements, opened lines of communication, thereby moving in unison. A shared vision brings about fruitfulness in a home. You're Blessed!!
I couldn’t have said it better, she really is blessed.
So true, its hard to build with someone whom you don't share the same vision with. Thank you, to God be all the glory.
So well said
