0:55
a Home Maker's Anthem I thought that
0:58
these words came together so warmly but
1:01
also so perfectly and so I want to share
1:04
this to the Homemaker or the
1:06
stay-at-home mom or the mom or caregiver
1:10
or maybe even the family members who
1:13
find themselves under appreciating the
1:16
true role and the true responsibility
1:17
and the true importance of a
1:20
homemaker this is a homemaker's Anthem
1:23
that I live by in one that I think
1:26
perfectly describes and can perfectly
1:29
fit the role of a homemaker a homemaker
1:33
is someone who makes a house into a home
1:37
a homemaker is someone who loves and
1:39
cares for their family and provides a
1:41
physical and emotionally stable safe and
1:45
comfortable environment for their
1:46
families to live in a homemaker is
1:49
someone who is always there for their
1:51
family whether it be making dinner
1:54
changing diapers doing laundry or just
1:57
being a shoulder to cry on a homer is
1:59
someone who makes sure their family
2:01
feels loved and supported a homemaker is
2:05
someone who makes sure that their family
2:07
and their children have everything that
2:09
they need to thrive a homem maker is the
2:12
heart of the home so there you have it
2:15
that is my homemaker's ay that is my
2:18
definition of what a hom maker is it's
2:22
the warmest and sweetest way that you
2:24
can put it a warm short sweet and simple
2:27
Homemakers abide Homemakers anthem this
2:30
is what being a homemaker is all about I
2:33
hope that you guys enjoyed that short
2:35
and maybe even corny Anthem that I
2:38
created for stay-at-home moms and
2:40
homemakers to just really feel loved and
2:43
feel important if you did like it let me
2:46
know in the comments and even share some
2:48
of your thoughts or heartfelt
2:50
encouraging words but let's really dive
2:53
deeper into what is a homemaker in short
2:57
a homemaker is someone who takes care of
3:00
the home and manages the family's
3:02
Affairs they are responsible for making
3:04
sure that the household runs smoothly
3:06
and ensuring that everyone has what they
3:08
need while providing a safe and
3:10
comfortable both emotionally and
3:12
physically environment for them to live
3:15
in many Homemakers often take on roles
3:17
such as cooking cleaning taking care of
3:20
their children and just being supportive
3:22
and nurturing and while the
3:24
responsibilities of a homem maker can be
3:28
very demanding it's a very rewarding
3:31
role whether the homem maker is a mom
3:35
wife or even a hired Nanny the main goal
3:39
of the homem maker is to maintain and
3:41
manage the household in order to be
3:44
successful Homemakers typically have a
3:46
deep knowledge of the family's specific
3:48
needs preferences and circumstances this
3:51
just helps to keep everything running
3:53
smoothly and organized and knowing what
3:55
needs to be done when it needs to be
3:57
done that's just a brief definition of
3:59
what a hom maker is now we're going to
4:02
discuss some of the characteristics of a
4:04
homemaker if you lack some
4:06
characteristics of a homemaker obviously
4:08
you're not going to have every single
4:10
characteristic because nobody is perfect
4:12
and the daily demands of a homem maker
4:15
is Ever Changing because the family's
4:17
needs are also changing often so you may
4:21
or may not have all the characteristics
4:23
of being a homemaker but that does not
4:25
mean that you're not a wonderful
4:27
caretaker Homemaker or stay-at-home mom
4:29
for your family remember that what works
4:32
for one person doesn't necessarily
4:34
always work for another and the best
4:36
type of homem maker is one that knows
4:39
what their family needs it has the
4:41
characteristics and the strength and the
4:43
courage to provide their family with
4:46
what they need remember this is a video
4:49
for someone who doesn't necessarily know
4:51
what a homaker is or someone who wants
4:53
to be a homemaker and they're curious to
4:55
know what the characteristics or the
4:58
responsibilities typically are and again
5:00
this is just to clarify for those
5:02
individual who ask those harmless
5:05
questions of what do stay at home moms
5:07
and homemakers do all day long so some
5:10
of the characteristics of a good
5:12
Homemaker Homemakers are organized
5:14
efficient and able to keep track of
5:16
family schedules while also juggling
5:18
multiple tasks on a daily basis many hom
5:21
makers also know how to cook and are
5:24
able to whip up a few delicious and
5:26
nutritious meals for their family
5:28
organizing skills are not something that
5:31
all Homemakers typically have but they
5:34
are extremely helpful in maintaining the
5:36
cleanliness of the home so that it is
5:38
safe comfortable and things are easy to
5:40
access having a warm patient and
5:43
welcoming personality are also great
5:45
characteristics of a homemaker
5:47
Homemakers can also be loving teachers
5:49
with the ability to nurture young minds
5:52
and help them to grow into responsible
5:54
adults by having a warm and welcoming
5:57
and patient personality as as well as
6:00
being able to teach and nurture young
6:03
minds you're able to create a home that
6:05
is both comfortable and inviting but
6:08
also create a safe space for children to
6:11
feel secure another really great
6:13
characteristic of a homem maker is being
6:15
able to budget time and money
6:18
effectively this is one of those
6:20
characteristics that I am not very good
6:22
at but I am still working to get there
6:25
this means being able to plan ahead and
6:27
stay on top of bills do appointments and
6:30
expenses in addition Homemakers who have
6:33
the budget and time management
6:35
characteristic can also Pride themselves
6:38
on probably being able to find the best
6:40
deals and savings on groceries and other
6:42
household items those are just some of
6:45
the general characteristics of being a
6:48
hom maker so that we can kind of get a
6:50
feel for it and kind of understand at
6:53
this point what is a homemaker and if
6:56
that doesn't sound important to you yet
6:58
then let's move on on to the
7:00
responsibilities of a homemaker most
7:02
people think of a homemaker as someone
7:04
who just sits on the couch all day and
7:07
watches the children run around and play
7:09
while they just watch their soap operas
7:12
and relax and just have a wonderful day
7:15
yes Homemakers do take care of the kids
7:18
Homemakers do watch the kids and
7:20
sometimes Homemakers do sit down as
7:22
everybody should get a chance to sit
7:24
down and take a break but that's not all
7:26
a homemaker is a homemaker's
7:28
responsibility can be divided into two
7:31
main categories domestic duties and
7:34
emotional support domestic duties are
7:36
all of the physical tasks associated
7:38
with running the household such as
7:40
taking care of the children cooking
7:42
cleaning doing laundry grocery shopping
7:45
buying household items scheduling
7:47
appointments all of those things are
7:49
considered domestic duties of a homem
7:51
maker these tasks are essential for
7:53
maintaining a safe and comfortable home
7:55
emotional support is also just as
7:58
important as domestic duties emotional
8:01
support is all of the mental and
8:04
nurturing aspects of being a homemaker
8:06
emotional support tasks include being
8:09
someone that your family can lean on and
8:12
run to and rely on for love and comfort
8:15
and support this role requires a lot of
8:19
patience and understanding but if you
8:23
are a homemaker that's also a mom some
8:25
of these things they kind of just come
8:27
naturally naturally we are already
8:30
emotionally attached to our children so
8:32
being their emotional support system is
8:34
one of those things that kind of just
8:36
naturally comes to us and if it doesn't
8:39
and you're working towards that and you
8:41
know that that is something that you
8:42
want to be you want to be able to be
8:44
patient and understanding and
8:46
emotionally supportive for your children
8:48
then I would say that you're still doing
8:50
a really great job and that's still a
8:52
really great emotional support trait to
8:54
have another emotional support task
8:57
could be being able to listen to your
8:59
child and your family's needs and give
9:01
really great advice and this is
9:03
something that I have been surprisingly
9:05
getting better and better at not just
9:08
for my son but also for my husband and
9:11
part of that is just having really great
9:13
listening skills sometimes I can just
9:16
really understand what he needs what he
9:19
needs to hear and what he needs to feel
9:21
to have the courage and the strength and
9:24
the encouragement to accomplish whatever
9:27
task he's trying to accomplish at the
9:29
time with that being said Homemakers
9:31
should also be good Role Models because
9:34
how else can we help our children to
9:36
feel emotionally safe and secure if
9:39
we're not modeling that behavior
9:40
ourselves if we always seem frantic and
9:44
out of place then that may cause the
9:46
people around us to also feel that way
9:49
so just emotionally being there for your
9:52
family and being able to be a good role
9:54
model for them and a good support system
9:56
for them that is considered the
9:59
emotional support aspect of being a
10:01
homemaker so now for the question that
10:04
everyone always harmlessly asks with no
10:08
harm intended what do Homemakers do all
10:11
day long I am glad you asked Homemakers
10:14
are responsible for taking care of the
10:16
family and the home and the children and
10:18
the pets Homemakers maintain a clean and
10:21
comfortable household prepare meals
10:23
clean up after meals do laundry F
10:26
laundry put away the dishes make up the
10:29
the beds wash the beds sprads and the
10:31
towels dust the surfaces vacuum the
10:34
floors you got to vacuum those floors to
10:36
make sure you get rid of any dust any
10:39
allergens so that everyone can breathe
10:41
well mop the floors wash the windows
10:44
clean the fridge organize the pantry buy
10:47
the groceries schedule the doctor's
10:49
appointments balance the budget keep up
10:52
with all important due dates make sure
10:54
that everyone is where they need to be
10:57
when they need to be there be shoulder
10:59
to cry on even when we want to cry too
11:02
listen to our family when they need to
11:03
talk and get things off of their chest
11:05
especially if they've had a really long
11:07
day help to resolve conflicts offer
11:10
advice when needed be a good role model
11:12
nurse and take care of the children
11:15
change the diapers save the children
11:17
help them with their homework teach them
11:20
discipline them help with the Tantrums
11:22
and pray and instill Godly ways into our
11:26
children these are just some of the many
11:29
things that we do on a daily basis and
11:33
these are also things that other family
11:35
members in the home can also take part
11:37
in and may even help with as well but
11:40
these are generally the things that
11:42
Homemakers do on a daily basis no matter
11:46
what else is going on this is what the
11:48
homem maker normally is responsible for
11:51
and while it is a lot to take on it can
11:54
be extremely helpful and beneficial for
11:57
the family both financially physically
12:00
and emotionally and that's why many
12:02
stay-at-home moms or Homemakers will
12:04
often tell you that their job is not
12:06
easy but it's an extremely rewarding
12:10
role those who take on this role often
12:12
find that it brings them a great sense
12:15
of satisfaction and purpose not only do
12:18
we as Homemakers get to experience the
12:21
joys of watching our children and
12:23
families grow and Thrive but we also
12:26
have the chance to really get to know
12:28
our family in a much deeper way and play
12:31
an important role in their lives as well
12:34
as witness all of those very important
12:37
and heartfelt milestones and moments so
12:40
yeah while it can be challenging to
12:42
juggle all of those responsibilities
12:45
there are also a number of benefits that
12:47
comes along with being a homemaker and a
12:49
stat home mom in many ways and in my
12:52
opinion and what many stay-at home moms
12:55
and homemakers would tell you is that
12:57
being a homemaker is one of the most
12:59
rewarding jobs imaginable and again that
13:02
includes if you're a wife or a mom or a
13:05
hired nanny or homaker either way you
13:08
play an essential role in your family's
13:10
life so now that we have discussed what
13:13
is a homemaker I would like to know what
13:16
do you think of being a homemaker do you
13:19
think that the homemaker's job is easy
13:21
do you think that it's difficult do you
13:24
think that is more or less important
13:26
than something else because if so
13:29
why do we have to compare it why do we
13:32
have to compare a homemaker's job to any
13:34
other job or a stay-at-home mom to any
13:37
other type of mom or to any other job
13:40
everybody's role in the household is
13:43
important what we do in the home is what
13:46
makes the Home Run smoothly so
13:49
traditionally if the man of the
13:51
household is providing for the family
13:53
and physically going out to work for the
13:55
family and bring in income then that's
13:59
obiously extremely important because
14:00
there are things that our family is
14:02
going to need right to be safe and to be
14:05
healthy and to have clean clothes on
14:07
their back and to have food in the
14:10
fridge and to pay the bills but the cost
14:13
of child care is going up and the cost
14:17
of transportation is going up and it can
14:20
save families a lot of money for not
14:22
having to hire a child care service or
14:25
for not having to hire a cleaning
14:28
service you save a lot of gas if both or
14:32
all members of the family aren't out of
14:34
the house meaning they aren't driving to
14:36
and from work into child care and
14:40
daycare and things like that you get to
14:42
save a lot of money not to mention for
14:44
Homemakers that are into homesteading
14:46
and gardening and things like that or
14:49
maybe even make their own natural and
14:51
organic products at home that's also a
14:54
really great way to save money because
14:56
if you're making your own soap and L
14:59
your detergent and you're growing your
15:00
own fruits and vegetables you can also
15:03
save a lot of money and for the
15:05
self-sufficient and Savvy Homemaker who
15:08
also shares those products and services
15:10
with other friends and family members in
15:12
their Community then they may even be
15:15
able to generate more income to bring
15:17
into the family while saving and cutting
15:19
down on cost of having to leave the home
15:22
and hire a child care and cleaning
15:24
services and things like that so all
15:26
roles of a household are important so
15:29
hopefully we can stop comparing them and
15:31
hopefully we can stop just trying to
15:34
Define and categorize what the wife the
15:37
mom the Homemaker the caregiver the
15:39
caretaker the stay-at-home mom we can
15:42
stop trying to categorize and Define
15:44
what they do all day especially if it's
15:48
been beneficial to you it's not a
15:50
competition it's not a race it's not a
15:53
matter of which one is more important
15:56
it's a matter of everybody's import
15:59
every role is important and every family
16:02
has its own circumstances and its own
16:05
needs so the next time you find yourself
16:08
doubting the work that you do or you're
16:10
feeling
16:11
underappreciated or you're asking
16:13
yourself like is this my life like is
16:16
this really what it has come to then
16:18
just know that it's important and not to
16:21
mention if you're a mom you are shaping
16:24
the future generation and God has
16:27
entrusted you with this very very role
16:29
he has entrusted you with a role that's
16:32
so very important and it's one that you
16:35
have everything that you need to do
16:38
successfully you just have to know this
16:41
and you just have to understand this and
16:43
you just have to accept this if you're a
16:46
hom maker or a stay-at-home mom your
16:48
role is essential and you're important
16:51
and if someone's everever asking you
16:53
that question what do you do all day why
16:56
are you so tired you have have it easy
16:59
make sure to send them this video or
17:02
don't be afraid to tell them how you
17:05
feel or maybe don't even say anything
17:08
because your work is shown through the
17:10
people who you care for for example if
17:12
you're that go-to house you know the
17:14
house that all of the family members and
17:16
all of the friends always want to go to
17:18
on the holidays or whenever you guys
17:20
have your meetups and it's like the
17:23
go-to spot that they just feel safe and
17:26
warm and comfortable at then
17:29
your work is shown in the house
17:31
furthermore if your children or your
17:34
spouse they feel comfortable in the home
17:37
and they don't feel that they have to go
17:39
out to want and to need for many other
17:43
things and they actually love and enjoy
17:45
being in the home then you've done a
17:47
really great job of creating a safe and
17:50
comfortable environment for your family
17:52
to live and Thrive and want to be in it
17:55
is a role that I absolutely love and to
17:59
be honest I did not see myself being a
18:04
stay-at-home mom like 11 years ago when
18:07
I met my spouse I did not think that I
18:09
was going to be a stayhome mom I wanted
18:13
to be an attorney but you know that just
18:16
shows you how things change I still
18:19
pursue the law field and I graduated as
18:21
a family law paral as opposed to
18:24
becoming an attorney but even with that
18:27
family law degree I still just love
18:30
being a stay-at-home mom more than
18:32
anything so it's a degree that I have
18:35
and if ever my family needs me to enter
18:37
into the workforce I have that degree
18:41
but I really love being a stay-at-home
18:43
mom and I love blogging I love vlogging
18:46
and I also love creating like natural
18:49
and organic products for my family and
18:51
to just share with others you know so I
18:54
just say all of that to say that even if
18:57
it doesn't feel like it's those things
18:59
that comes natural to you and if it
19:01
sounds crazy and if it sounds boring
19:05
then you never know if you want to be a
19:08
homemaker or a stay at home mom you can
19:11
do it it's possible there's a way and
19:14
it'll be different it'll look different
19:16
for every mom for every woman for every
19:18
family but you can do it you can find a
19:21
way to make it work for your family the
19:24
thing that I always remind myself is
19:26
that no one had a more important role
19:30
than Jesus he used his time on Earth to
19:34
serve other people to heal other people
19:37
to perform Miracles so if ever you find
19:40
yourself feeling like you're just
19:41
serving others and sometimes you're
19:43
forgetting who you are and sometimes you
19:45
feel like all you're doing is taking
19:47
care of and giving and serving and
19:49
sacrificing remember what Jesus did
19:52
remember his job remember how he
19:54
sacrificed his life how he served people
19:56
how he healed people yep his job was
19:59
extremely important for all of us that
20:03
is something that came to me and that
20:06
God helped me to discover and find
20:08
during one of my devotions and every
20:10
time I consider it that way and think of
20:12
it that way it just makes a world of

20:22
Christ then just consider this and
20:26
hopefully it will be helpful for for you
20:29
so that pretty much sums up our
20:31
Homemaker video for today I hope that it
20:33

20:35
hope I was able to very accurately and
20:38
correctly Define what a homemaker is I
20:41
myself consider myself a homemaker we
20:43
call it a homemaker some of us call
20:45
ourselves a stay-at-home mom or just a
20:48
mom or even a housewife whatever you
20:52
call yourself and if you find yourself
20:55
taking care of your family and your home
20:57
if that is what what you are then know
21:00
that you are amazing it is
