Oma's Musings
This is the space where I share reflections on faith, home, and the next season of life. Here you’ll find encouragement to simplify, declutter, and live with intention, both at home and on the road. I’m also leaning into homesteading in small, practical ways as I learn to live more simply in this season.
A Little About Me
I’m a wife, mom, and grandmother who’s learning that slowing down can be one of life’s greatest blessings. After years of raising a family and working full-time, I’ve come to love the quiet rhythms of home, organizing, creating cozy spaces, and finding peace in simplicity.
And somewhere along the way, I started leaning into a little homesteading. Nothing fancy, just making more pantry stable mixes, trying things from scratch, and paying closer attention to what we’re putting into our bodies. It’s been a sweet way to save money, eat a little healthier, and enjoy the work of my own hands.
I also share about faith, family, and the everyday adventures my husband and I find ourselves in as we prepare for retirement. My hope is that something here encourages you to find joy and purpose in your own season of life.
Journey With Me
Life looks a little different in this season, but I’ve learned that every chapter can be rich with purpose when we slow down long enough to see it. Through Oma’s Musings, The Redeemed Mess, and S&K On The Road, I share the lessons, reflections, and simple joys that make up this next part of my journey — at home, in faith, and on the open road.
So wherever you are — creating calm in your home, walking through something hard, or exploring the RV lifestyle — I invite you to journey with me.
Oma’s Musings
Finding Peace and Purpose at Home
This is where it all began. Oma’s Musings is about simplifying life in the empty nest years, decluttering, organizing, and learning to live with less so there’s room for what truly matters. It’s about cultivating a peaceful home and embracing a slower, more intentional way of living. I’m also leaning into homesteading in small, everyday ways as I learn to cook from scratch a little more, cut back on unnecessary chemicals, and enjoy a simpler rhythm at home.
A few things you’ll find here:
• Tips for decluttering, downsizing, and organizing
• Simple routines that make home life easier
• Reflections on gratitude, purpose, and simplicity
• Gentle homesteading ideas like making mixes from scratch, cutting back on preservatives, and using what you already have
• Practical ways to live more frugally and intentionally in this season
