Since ancient times, and across cultures, humans have been seeking refuge from this wild world. Yet it seems fewer and fewer people are celebrating this sacred art of homemaking. Itâs about creating a welcoming, cozy, safe place to be alone or together. You can do this in an apartment, on a homestead, in a tent, or in a house in the suburbs.
If you're new here, welcome! I'm Madi, creating videos about minimalism and slow living every Wednesday. In my videos you will see my minimalist home, my capsule wardrobe, decluttering, inspiration for slow living with kids, intentional living, minimalist finances, things I no longer buy, things I no longer own, things I buy more of as a minimalist, and just overall my passion and inspiration for simple living!

My entire life I wanted to be a wife and stay at home mom. Society says we shouldnât want to. Itâs definitely underrated.
So true. Thanks for watching Angela â€ïž
So true! And same here itâs the only thing have ever loved doing!
Same here!â€đ
Society is never happy and never satisfied. Do what makes you happy.
@@terrypurvis2535 amen!
I work part time and people ask me all the time if I have another job. I also have 3 kids. And when I say no they act like I'm so lazy. Taking care of your family and home is sacred work. It almost made me cry when you said that. Thanks
đŻ. The world scorns a woman who values family and time with them more than money and possessions.
You're doing great, sweet lady! Your kids are blessed đ
Itâs so true. Iâm so glad my videos resonate with you. Itâs why i make them. â€ïž
I have 3 children also. They are grown now but I totally know what you mean. Iâve always worked outside of the home, mostly part time. I have had so many people ask me the same thing threw the years. I totally think taking care of your family is one of the most important things you can do.

âThis is simple sacred workâ I love this!
Thank you Naomi â€ïž
Iâm going to be focused a lot on homemaking when I move into my apartment. Iâve been homeless with my daughter for a little bit. I wonât take a home for granted anymor
I hope that you and your daughter are settled soon, myself and my two girls have been told that our home of six years is being sold, my eldest cried because her deceased hamster is buried here. Bless her this home is mostly all she knows. But I hope that our next home will bring us as much joy and gratitude as this home has, Iâm very thankful to the house for keeping us warm and protected all these years and I will miss the garden and the farmland we live near that we have grown to love â€ïž
I was in a homeless shelter with my 3 kids for a short time. Now we have our own land and off grid home we built in Hawaii and are growing vegetables and flowers and fruit trees and homeschooling. Things can and will change. Just donât give up and be sure youâre staying open to receiving all Godâs blessings! Anything is possible with God! Aloha đđđœđȘ·
đžlovĂ© being home, the routines, family, and slow living.
This homeschool mama of 3 adores simple\minimalist living....it is so lifegiving!!! Amen?! Blessings to all of you! đ
Thank you đđ»
I'm finally on materbity leave waiting for my second to arrive. I love taking care of my home- I take so much pride in having a clean, neat, organised home.
Congratulations â€ïž
Homemaking is my favourite thing. I am still in University but my Dream is to one day be a fulltime homemaker. For now it helps me destress from my academic life. Thank you Madi for this beautiful video
Thank you so much for your support and taking the time to comment â€ïž
I love this video. I totally agree. Through my life Iâve changed my ideas about homemaking. Iâve changed as seasonâs change and as time passes by. Iâm totally drawn to keeping my home nice for me and my family. I am grateful my mother taught me. I totally agree a clean home makes me happier. Itâs not about perfection not at all but about feeling safe in your home no matter what that looks like. â€đ 3:59
This is so true. Thanks Rebecca â€ïž
Having.a safe loving home is such a privilege even though it should be everyone's right. I am so grateful to have not only a roof over my head but a space my partner and I put so much love and beauty into
Thank you for being here â€ïž
Love the content you're putting out & the message you're sharing! My favorite days are slow homemaking days where I just focus on getting things tidy and clean, then spend time cooking from scratch. They just fill my soul.
Thank you for your support Erin â€ïž
Same here love from Africa here its so common n we cook from scratch
Love homemaking.
Me too â€ïž
Sooooo proud to be a homemaker!!!! Very blessed to be able to take care of my family and home full time
â€ïž
God bless you and your family. Hold fast to your morals and values. They are like rare pearls in this engineered society. Love the Josh Garrels song at the end!
Thank you for the support â€ïž
Great video! I always wanted to be a wife, mother and homemaker, but definitely felt the pressure from society to get a career. I'm thankful for a husband who supported me wholeheartedly in my role as a mother and homemaker. I homeschooled my 3 children who are all adults now and LOVED the lifestyle. Once I became an empty nester, I was bombarded again with outside pressure to get a job, but I chose not to, and stay plenty busy managing our home well, and I love being available to help others, including our kids and grandkids! đ„°
That is beautiful â€ïž
So nice
I agree with you! It is unpopular but so nice and I am so grateful I get to be a homemaker!
Thanks for watching Doni â€ïž
Here's an idea for your back pocket: A coffee table sized book with photos of your lovely home with recipes for things that make your home feel cozy (bread making, cleaning, etc), and tips for gardening and minimalism. Throw in some of your helpful quotes and it would be a wonderful resource and inspiration. Just a thought. Thanks for all that you do to keep us inspired and encouraged as moms and homemakers!
Love your content! I've learned to slow down since quitting my corporate job and have never felt happier and more fulfilled. I started my own small business. Taking a pay cut by half, but now have time to cook, and keep my home peaceful and comfortable. Thank you for normalizing this. You look like such a great mom and I hope to raise my kids like yours one day!
That sounds incredible Chloe. â€ïž
I grew up on that same Laura Ingalls wilder book!
SO beautiful.
I'd love to own a book of all your voice over quotes, they are all perfect
Wow this is so sweet â€ïž
Ive recently started a homemaking channel, and i wanted to say that your content has really inspired me. So thank you! Keep being a great homemaker!
This video and all you said! Iâve been stressing out about keeping the house tidy and clean, but I also work and have 2 kids.
All you said made so much more sense as I am trying to become a homemaker â€
The way your mind works and your heart are both beautiful.
So sweet. Thank you Tammy â€ïž
beautiful, Madi. Homemaking--nurturing souls.
Thank you so much Laura â€ïž
This video spoke to me so much. I currently work 2 days per week and had the option to sign up for more time. After my husband and I spoke, we decided that 2 days is plenty. We have 3 boys (ages 6 to 11) and I find that life is so much happier when I am home more. It IS simple, sacred work. Thank you for this lovely video and inspiring message. Happy Thanksgiving!
Iâm so glad it resonated with you â€ïž it is so important
âSimple, sacred work.â Love that! đ„°âïžđ§Ą
â€ïžâ€ïž
what a lovely doormat!
Homemaking as a sacred art.
You mean not just a dishmaven or laundry goddess? You mean we're not just slaves to the unending messes or hungry mouths?
Whoahow.
There's a refreshing perspective I could use.
Thank you!
Wow! This video is everything I allowed myself to think just a few days ago! I felt ashamed to admit that I donât want to work full-time, because homemaking (although our flat is by no means tiny and clean) IS important to me and I like doing it!
â€ïžâ€ïž you have permission
Wishing you and your family lots of happy moments and blessings âșïž Awesome video.
Thank you so much â€ïž
Like your homemaker video respect it I support you journey on CZcams
Thank you Ruben
Just what I needed to hear. Iâm so fried with my home life atm. I need to slow down, get some perspective and figure out whatâs gonna work.
So glad it resonated with you â€ïž
simple sacred work...love that.
â€ïž
You inspire me, Madisun! Thanks for sharing. âșïž Now, for some tidying while my 7mo and 23mo sleep. đ
Thank you so much â€ïž
This was such a lovely video!! Homemaking is my passion, and I absolutely love staying home. :)
Thank you â€ïž
All of this. So good!! Our roles as homemakers are so important and I love that you are encouraging me in that. And I'm so excited for your course to launch!!! đđ
Love you Mallory
Love watching your videos, I have 8 kids and stay home with them, I love your reminders to slow down and enjoy. Homemaking is the best. Thanks for making your videos, they give me peace and I feel like Jesus hugs me every time I watch them. â€
Iâm so glad you have enjoyed them â€ïž
i love the way your mind works, and your creativity. thanks for the videos - they're helping my heart through a chaotic season.
Another beautiful soul filling video as always Madi!
Thank you for the kind words â€ïž
I love your perspective on homemaking and motherhood. I just subscribed. Your comment about âsimple sacred workâ filled my soul. I agree wholeheartedly âșïž I love creating a space that brings me peace, brings my family peace, and helps everyone who enters feel the Holy Spirit. I believe the home is where our most important work occurs. I love cleaning, cooking, and gardening. I believe that we can take the good from past generations and enhance it with modern amenities. Finding joy and peace in the simple things. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience.
PREACH. Iâm so glad my video resonated with you. Thanks for watching â€ïž
Yes to it all. And this isnât just about women or men that are home full time. Itâs so important, especially in this time, to put as much attention into our living spaces and families as possible. â€
Love that â€ïž
I live in South Italy. Even there the tradition of the "stay at home mom" shifted. People don't value anymore the work of a housewife, which by the way is a real job. Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for watching â€ïž
Thank you thank you Thank you for making this simple video. I have been a stay at home mom/homemaker for the past 13 years and since my kids are not little little anymore...I've been struggling with feeling like my legitimacy of being still home and not out in some job is less and less, like somehow once your kids are in school, there's no value added to being at home. So many homemaking videos on youtube make me feel like underneath what they are saying, they feel this way too...I can tell in how they are so quick to say that they do this or that on the side or once their kids go to school, they will get a job and earn money then. This was a confident, respectful view on homemaking.
So glad you are here Kelly â€ïž more videos like this coming soon
Your fireplace is so cozy! I have only electric heaters. And they do not add coziness to the house, unlike a fireplace â€
It is đ„
Iâve always been a stay at home mom/ homemaker. I love it! đ„°
Beautifully done! đ
Thank you so much Samantha â€ïž
Hey your videos have helped me so much! Iâm struggling this thanksgiving being estranged from family and they are so regulating, beautiful and healing to watchâ€
Iâm so glad they resonate with you â€ïž thanks for watching
Madi, could you (or anyone reading this) recommended a really good homemaking book? If there isn't one, you should totally write one for the modern woman! đ„°
I love all your videos! Where would you start with decluttering toys? Do you have a video on all your kids toys or how they stay entertained all day?
Thanks Erin-
I do have a couple videos about kids toys. And my next on on Tuesday will be as well.
But Iâve found my kids thrive in a simplified play space. They are the kings of creativity and open ended play. They get lost in deep play all the time when we set up their play space for them to thrive.

I just have to say this was a beautiful video. Iâm new to your channel and this was just the motivation I needed. Myself as a homemaker, homeschooling mother of 4 tend to get into the rut of is what Iâm doing even worth it or contributing enough and your video has reminded me that Yes it is! Thank you.
Thank you Jessica đ€ Iâm so glad you are here
Another beautiful video thanks Maddy †you always seem to make the right video at the right time I need it and I always resonate with everything you upload xx
Iâm so glad Brittany. Itâs my passion to help other women live into who they were made to be wholeheartedly â€ïž
@@MadisunGray your doing an awesome job at it ! Thanks again for another beautiful video đ„°
I love this!! Home making and motherhood are my favorite â€ïž such a lovely video!!!
Thanks Jennifer â€ïž
I think it can elevate the energy of the household.
I also see cleaning as self care!
I wanted to thank you for suggesting the book "Still: The Slow Home" on a recent video! I ordered it from the library and am really enjoying it!
Iâm so glad Brooke â€ïž
The suggestions and tips in this video are practical, and doable. They are simple and promote a balance I've been looking for in my homemaking routine. God bless you for having this channel for all us women trying to be the Proverbs 31 woman
Love your videos..I agree with everything you say, and I love that you put your family and home first..time flies, and the children are grown before you know it..Iâm glad you cherish these times... You have good prioritiesđ
â€ïžâ€ïž
Madi I just love your content, your videos are calming and it feels like resting when I am watching it. I also have 2 kids in the same age and I have to learn to slow down. I really loved the book "no such thing as bad weather" too. It gave me perspective and what also helped was decluttering. But I am not finished yet. I will be the first getting my virtual hands on your course in two weeks. You help me a lot. Thank you â€ïž
This is so sweet. Iâm so glad there are like minded women out there â€ïž
I've been a wife for 15 years and most of the time I was a stay at home mom but I didn't know that it was a gift nor knew how to embrace it. Now i find peace and pleasure being a homemaker. Although being at it so long, I'm now returning as a student in learning the balance of my home as well as myself. Thank you for your video.
I love your backyard đ
You are so sensible and I love your videosâŁïžLove Jannike from Sweden â€ïžđžđȘ
Wow this is so sweet. Thanks Jannike â€ïž
Hi I love childrenâs books. I have 4 children and so we have (and enjoy them all) a lot of books. One of our favourites which I am certain your two little ones would love is âwe are going on a bear huntâ by Michael Rosen. It is a classic here in UK & read in primary schools and nurseries. Mine can recite itđ. We have now moved on to Roald Dahl books. Lovely video thank you x
Thanks so much for your support â€ïž
Thank you for this! I always talked about home making since I was a child and my mom passed early due to domestic violence and something in me switched and I was forced to work early by my father. I didnât have a life as a child. He didnât work. If I didnât work my siblings and I didnât have and I was only 14. I was the youngest.
Iâve always enjoyed being home and men always saw me as a wife or mother. Although we never dated but I guess men know when they come across that kind of woman. I Judy had this fear of being treated like a slave or being abused because I felt men wanted to trap me.
Some were even spoken for but still wanted to be with me to be tied to me for life because they wanted a stay at home wife and they were narcissist. I feel like society puts too much pressure on women to be career minded and make tons of money but I donât want to do that. I love being at home cooking and cleaning and having peace in my life.
Nothing is wrong with working from home but Iâm tired of being outside the house working. Hopefully Iâll marry one day and my husband will embrace me being at home. They men Iâve met in the past they want me to work and they want me to contribute to their dreams and bills and real men are supposed to provide.
Iâve just discovered your channel and am really enjoying this!! Do you have a podcast by any chance? - the videos are beautifully edited but the audio alone is INCREDIBLY suited to a pared back podcast, no other âre-recordingsâ necessary! â€
Podcast is coming soon. Probably a couple weeks after my course launches â€ïž thanks for watching
Very sacred I agree. What a beautiful video Madisun đđ„°đ·đĄ
â€ïž thank you
As always another video of yours that just speaks to my heart! †I canât wait for your launch!!!
Thank you so much for your support â€ïž
I love this â€ïžâ€ïžđ«¶đŒđ«¶đŒ i moved away from everyone in 2020. I learned so much about myself and creating my space to be me and have a happy family. I have made videos about my plants and life!! I send positive energy to you and your family.
If you haven't read Idle Parenting I recommend it! Going by your book choices I think you would love it. As usual, Love your work!
Iâll have to check it out. Thanks!
Hi Maddy, very sweet and interesting vidéo. My kids are the same age than yours and I would really appreciate a vidéo about simple Christmas gifts. I like your Books recommandations. I bought the french version of 'Slow down' and we adore it !
Youâll enjoy my next video đ
For me your videos are so relaxing and with so important topics â€ïž

I want to do this. But I'm in a fixer upper with my kids, husband, dad, and grandma. Who make it impossible to live the way i want or raise my kids the way i want. Plus the happy aesthetic isn't there. Cracks in the walks and ceiling falling. Roof leaks. Cant afford to fix it.
Thank you for this video đđđ

Love everything about this video! Thank you!â€
Thank you for watching â€ïž
I love this video, and I 100% agree with what you're saying!! I always dreamed of the perfect home and looked at many perfect Pinterest homes and felt like mine was not worthy becuase I didn't have all the fancy things but it wasn't until I loved and appreciated my home that I was able to make it a HOME.
Where is the broom from? We are moving soon, and we are in need of a new broom! I love this video. I binge these videos! Feels like a like minded friend reassuring me hustle culture isnât right for us.
That is exactly why I make them â€ïž

Even tho I grew up with a single mom working soo hard to provide and by Godâs grace we had an amazing life, I never had a passion for working outside the home. I never loved any of my jobs. I would joke that I wanted to be a stay at home mom with no kids. I didnât even know there was a word for that - homemaker. I joked during introductions in my degree that I wanted to be a homemaker after I graduated. It felt like NO ONE understood that, or appreciated it. I didnât even realize for years that all along my whole life God had created me to be a homemaker. Thank God my husband has always supported me and our family and saw the immense value that role brings! I am so beyond grateful to do what I truly truly love every single day - take care of my family & home - truly creating a safe thriving place by the love of the Lord Jesus! Such a blessing! I donât take it for-granted! đ„čđ
Iâm so glad you are here â€ïž
I needed this right now. Thankyou.
Also, how do you keep your 2yr old out of plants on the floor? đ€
I think he was interested in them when he was almost 2, now he doesnât mind them â€ïž
