Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Today I am chatting with seasoned homemaker, Cathy Bauer. Nominated for The Art of Home by her daughter, Laura, Cathy has so much wisdom and practical help to offer homemakers of any age. Even through her college years, her heart's desire was to be a wife, mom, and homemaker and she has been living out that desire for almost 40 years.

We discuss her beginnings and the challenges of learning to cook, the overwhelm that came with baby #2, and the challenges of parenting and running a busy household. Cathy shares how organizing her space and time have helped her over the years and she gives some great suggestions for extending the welcome of home beyond the four walls of our homes.
