3 Simple Ways To Fall In Love With Your Home

February 9, 2025

Home

If you’re feeling stuck in the never-ending cycle of laundry, dishes, and clutter, I see you. It’s exhausting when your home doesn’t feel like a place of peace but rather another item on your to-do list. But here’s the good news: you can fall in love with your home again—over and over—by making small, intentional changes that create a space you truly enjoy.

Create A Home That Supports And Nurtures You

Your home should be more than just a place to live—it should be a sanctuary that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. It can be overwhelming to feel disconnected from the space where you spend most of your time. But with just a few thoughtful adjustments, you can create a space that feels peaceful, joyful, and supportive of your daily rhythms. Today, I’m sharing three simple but powerful ways to transform your home into a space that recharges you, supports your daily routines, and nurtures your family. These aren’t massive renovations or expensive makeovers—just intentional shifts that will help you see (and love) your home in a whole new way.

#1 Create Recharge Spaces Throughout Your Home

Think of the last time you felt truly relaxed in your home. Was it on the couch with a cozy blanket? Sitting with a cup of coffee in the early morning before the kids woke up? Maybe you don’t have a spot like that yet, but that’s exactly where we’re starting today.

I’ve learned that having dedicated recharge spaces around the house makes all the difference. These aren’t just for you—they’re for the whole family. But today, let’s focus on you.

One of my favorite recharge spaces is right next to my bed. It’s my little corner for prayer, journaling, and reflection. I have:

  • A soft blanket to curl up in
  • My Bible and favorite journals
  • A cozy chair or floor cushion
  • Soft lighting that makes me want to sit there

It doesn’t take much to create a recharge space. Even if all you have is a small basket with a few essentials, that’s a great place to start. Think about what makes you feel at peace and bring it into your home intentionally.

Another recharge space I’ve created is in our guest room/office. I set it up with extra pillows, a throw blanket, and a stack of my favorite magazines. It’s where I escape when the house feels chaotic and I need to reset.

Quick Tip:

  • Walk through your home and identify one spot you can turn into a recharge space.
  • Add a blanket, a candle, a journal—anything that invites you to pause and enjoy.
  • Keep it simple, but make it yours.

For more on the importance of creating spaces that seamlessly fit into your daily routines and help you meet your fundamental needs, read my blog post on Balancing Life’s Demands: How to Prioritize Doing What You Love as a BusyMom for practical ways to make time for what truly matters.

“Really small but intentional changes are going to make a huge impact and help you feel connected—like you’re truly pouring into nurturing your home and your family.”

#2 Organize Your High-Traffic Areas

You know those spaces in your home that seem to be in constant motion? The ones that get messy fast because they’re used all the time? Those areas play a huge role in how you feel about your home. When they’re chaotic, your stress levels rise. But when they’re functional? You’ll be amazed at how much smoother your days feel.

For me, one of the biggest game-changers has been organizing my daughter’s closet. Mornings used to be a struggle—finding clothes, getting her dressed, and rushing out the door. But by simplifying her wardrobe and organizing her clothes at her level, she can now get dressed on her own, which makes both of us happier.

The same goes for my makeup area. I have a simple system that makes getting ready in the morning easy:

  • My makeup is laid out so I can grab what I need in seconds.
  • My hair tools are in a pull-out drawer, ready to go.
  • I follow the same routine every morning, so I don’t waste time searching for things.

And let’s talk about the fridge. This is one of the most-used spaces in any home, and when it’s a mess, it’s stressful. I use simple organizers to keep everything in place—prepped snacks, easy-to-grab drinks, and labeled bins so I can find exactly what I need.

Quick Tip

  • Choose one high-traffic area in your home that feels cluttered.
  • Spend 15 minutes decluttering and organizing it.
  • Add small, simple solutions that make life easier (bins, labels, designated spaces).

#3 Remove Toxins & Bring in Natural Elements

This might not be what you expected, but I promise it makes a difference. When you’re intentional about what you bring into your home—from the candles you burn to the cleaning products you use—it changes how your home feels.

One of the first things I did years ago was ditch toxic candles and air fresheners. Instead, I use essential oils. My current favorite? On Guard for immune support and Breathe for fresh, clean air. I keep diffusers running in different rooms, and it instantly makes my home feel more inviting.

I also swapped out conventional laundry detergent for a natural option. My go-to? A toxin-free detergent that smells amazing and actually works. Check out the video above for the one I’m using! Making these simple swaps has helped me create a home that feels healthy, fresh, and comforting.

Quick Tip

  • Identify one toxic product in your home to replace (candles, cleaning sprays, detergent).
  • Find a natural alternative and make the switch.
  • Notice how the energy in your home shifts when you bring in cleaner, healthier products.

Make Your Home a Place You Love

Your home should be more than just a place to eat and sleep—it should be a sanctuary that recharges you, supports your dreams, and nurtures your soul. I know that life can be overwhelming, and sometimes it feels like your home is just another source of stress. But what if you could transform it into a space that not only supports your daily needs but also gives you the energy and peace to thrive? It’s possible, and you deserve to feel that way every single day.

If you’re looking for more structured guidance and support to implement these changes, I’d love to help you through my Systemize Your Life program.
