Today I’m joined by my friend Katherine McDowell, a fellow homemaker, mother, and our very own in-house librarian who hosts our beloved Homemakers Literary Society. We talk about what it looks like to turn inward as autumn begins: crafting a home of belonging, marking the seasons with the liturgical calendar, and building a culture of literature and story in the home. Katherine’s perspective is rich with faith, heritage, and practical rhythms that make ordinary days sacred.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
• How the liturgical calendar shapes family rhythms and traditions. • Creating a literary home: seasonal picture books, read-alouds, and curating living books. • Why what we consume shapes the culture of our homes. • Practical ways to weave books and stories into everyday life. • Using each new season as a “mini new year” to reset rhythms with hope.

Katherine reminds us that every season offers a chance to begin again, a “mini new year” to reset our homes with rhythms of prayer, gratitude, and story. Even one small change like lighting a candle at dinner, starting a family read-aloud, or ending the day with prayer over your children can become a rhythm that steadies the whole house.
Friends, if this episode blessed you, I’d love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review, it helps other homemakers find encouragement here at the table.
The Homemaker’s Club is a sisterhood of women who value the old-fashioned ways of making a house a home. Inside our private community, you’ll find prepared resources, weekly rhythms, and deeper fellowship with women walking this journey alongside you.
