Want To Make Your Home A Nicer Place To Be?

Do you want to make your home a nicer place to be? Perhaps you have gotten tired of there constantly being something that you would like to change about your home but you just don’t have the energy to make any big changes. The good news is that all you have to do is get started, and the rest will follow. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the things that we recommend you do if you want to make your home a nicer place to live without a full renovation. Keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Temperature Control

 

Have you thought about the temperature control in your house? Do you even have any? If your HVAC system isn’t working then this is something that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. How are you supposed to be comfortable in your own home if you don’t have control of the temperature? The short answer is that you can’t.

 

If you have an issue with the insulation in your home at the moment, then it might be worth looking into insulation companies to get things back to the right standard. Insulation is important for homes, and it’s not something that you should just be skipping over if you can avoid it.

 

Keep It Clean

 

We know that this one can be tough, and it shouldn’t be down to one person to do this, but you need to try and keep your home as clean as possible. There is no worse feeling than walking to your house after a long day to it being an absolute mess, while also knowing that you have no energy to actually clean it up. 

 

The thing that we recommend is that you clean it up as you go along. Rather than thinking that you will do it later, if you do it when you make the mess, there will never be any lingering around. You will feel so much better for it, even if it does add an extra five minutes to your day. This is still better than losing hours every week or so having a big clean up.

 

Fix Problems As They Occur

 

The final thing that we’re going to recommend is that you fix problems as they occur. The reason that we say to do this is so that they do not worsen, and that it doesn’t end up costing you more time and money than it needs to. Fix problems when you can, call in professionals when you can’t, but either way if you want your home to be a nice place to live, you can’t have it full of problems that need sorting.

 

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you should be doing to make your home a nicer place to be! It doesn’t have to be a pain in the behind to make this happen, all it requires is a little bit of consistency. We wish you the very best of luck going forward, and hope that you make your home into exactly what you want it to be sooner rather than later.

Hi! I’m Christine!

It’s Never Too Late to Rewrite Your Story

If you’re standing at a crossroads—wondering where the “you” you used to know went—you are not alone.

Maybe you spent years pouring yourself into your family, homeschooling, raising kids with big needs and even bigger hearts.
Maybe you’re navigating a broken marriage, facing an empty nest that feels a lot emptier than you ever imagined, or grieving distance from your adult children.

You may be asking yourself: What happened to the life I dreamed of?
What happens now?

Here’s the truth:
It’s never too late to rewrite your story.

No matter the detours or disappointments, there is still hope.
There are still beautiful chapters ahead, waiting for you to write them.


What You’ll Find Here

Real Mom Life is a place where you’ll find:

  • Real talk about motherhood, marriage, divorce, and all the messy parts in between

  • Honest reflections on faith, family, healing, and hope

  • Encouragement for the woman who feels forgotten—or who forgot herself along the way

  • Inspiration to rebuild, rediscover, and live with purpose, passion, and yes—a little pizzazz

  • A reminder that your story isn’t over—and the next part might just be the best yet


My Story

Hi, I’m Christine—a marriage and motherhood survivor, a recovering perfectionist, and a woman determined to live the second half of life with purpose, passion, and a whole lot of pizzazz.

I spent decades doing what many women do: pouring myself into my family, raising children (some with big needs and even bigger hearts), homeschooling, navigating a long and complicated marriage, and trying to be everything for everyone. Somewhere in all of that, I lost parts of myself I didn’t even realize were gone.

During those intense years of deep mothering, I also wrote seven books for major Christian publishers about parenting, adoption, and homeschooling. I spoke at conferences, encouraged other moms, and tried to offer wisdom from the trenches.

And then—everything I held dear was challenged.

My kids started struggling in ways I couldn’t fix.
My marriage unraveled.
And so did the life I had so carefully built.

Divorce, the empty nest, the ache of adult children who didn’t launch quite the way I’d hoped—it all collided at once.

Sound familiar?

But here’s the good news:
It’s never too late to rewrite your story.

Now in my late 60s, I’m building a rich, meaningful life—not despite the hard chapters, but because of them.
I started dating again (and got married in May 2025!), I’m working full-time in my career as a criminal lawyer, and I’m dreaming bigger than ever.
I’m a woman of faith who’s walked through the fire—and found new life on the other side.


Let’s Walk This Road Together

If you’re wondering what’s next after the life you planned didn’t turn out the way you hoped, you’re in the right place.
We don’t have to shrink or settle.
We get to rise, reclaim, and sparkle.

So pour a cup of coffee (or something stronger), and let’s keep going, together.
