Oma’s Musings

About Me & My Spaces

Hi, I’m Kathy — a wife, mom, grandmother, and storyteller at heart. Through my three connected spaces, I share what life looks like in this season of slowing down and living with intention.

Oma’s Musings is where I talk about home, simplicity, and everyday life in the empty nest years.

The Redeemed Mess is where I share faith stories about grace and hope through life’s hardest seasons.

S&K On The Road follows my husband Shawn and me as we enjoy RV life and prepare for retirement adventures together.

No matter where you join me — at home, in faith, or on the road — my goal is to offer encouragement for living with peace and purpose.

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
