In a rut? This article is about 12 ways to spark your motherhood to enjoy motherhood and homemaking more.

Connect with nature. God created nature for us to enjoy. A breath of fresh air can make all the difference in having a good start to a better day. Rest from your phone, find all the worms, listen for the sounds of nature.
2. Start a new hobby
Sometimes as mamas, we need to put our hands to work- even in our free time! Find a hobby that is easy and fulfilling. It can give you something to look forward to during the day- It also gives us a tangible thing to SEE where our time is going to!
Hobbies for mama to enjoy motherhood more:
- Embroidery
- Acrylic painting on dish ware
- Creating a handmade recipe book
- Candle Making
3. Enjoy Homemaking: Make a new meal
Ever been in a cooking rut? Try making a new recipe. Ask a friend if they can share one of their favorite recipes with you. Sometimes a new meal is just the spark we need to jump-start our love for the kitchen again!
4. Start a hobby with your kids
Who says you can’t have a hobby altogether. Your kids enjoy childhood when you enjoy motherhood more. Find a hobby out of an interest that you and your children share. Your days will be so full of intentional fun you all enjoy.
Hobby ideas to enjoy motherhood with your kids:
- Bread making
- Rock painting
- Working out

5. Enjoy motherhood: explore New places with your kids
Write down a list of places you’d like to go, when you feel stuck in your everyday routine. Local Libraries, thrift shops, apple picking and anything free are all great options!
6. Get ready even on a bad day
When you look good you feel good. Take extra time to get yourself ready. You may not feel like it in the moment- but will be oh so thankful you took time for you today. You deserve it.
7. Enjoy motherhood: Move your body
When you feel good, you act good! As mamas our health plays a huge role in how we enjoy motherhood. A simple stretch, or 10 minute at home workout, a walk outside can make a big impact on your mood, which affects the tone of your household.
8.Enjoy Homemaking: Get one thing done today
Find one thing on your to do list, and actually get it done. Completing just one task gives momentum for all the other daily tasks. When you do the hard things first you can do anything else!
9. Enjoy motherhood: Host a moms event
Be encouraged by other moms by hosting a brunch or a bible study. Sometimes to enjoy motherhood more, we just need to be reminded of our village and know that we have the support we need in a friend.
10. flowers on the table
Go back to the little things that make you happy. Fresh flowers on the table, a lit candle, good smelling soap. These are all little things we encounter during the day that can give the little push we need to enjoy our homemaking. What a gift it is to be able to serve our homes.
11. Seasonal Decor
Seasonal decor gets your home into a seasonal rhythm. Every season you have to take down the decor to enter into a new season. What seasonal decor can you find cheap at your local thrift store? A little reminder that seasons change can inspire you to push forward even on the hard days.
12. Enjoy Motherhood: Plan a date for yourself
Ask hubby to take over the kids bedtime (If he dosen’t already). Have yourself a self care date and go all out! Self care isn’t always about the outside, but it about what’s in the heart. Start with reading your bible and praying– that’s true self care that our souls actually need. Follow up with a bubble bath, or whatever fills your cup.
We give our kids a better chance to enjoy childhood when we ourselves enjoy motherhood. It IS possible to enjoy motherhood and homemaking everyday. It’s what God created us to do.
