You long to come home to a haven.

But so much seems to get in your way.

It’s hard to fit homemaking in when your busy days speed by in a blur.

And it’s even harder to stop and figure out how to create a haven.

Quite frankly, it can feel impossible to care for your home and attempt to feather your nest while you’re living life.

But that’s exactly why Home to a Haven was created … to encourage and equip you to transform your home into a haven. Even in the busiest seasons of your life.

What others are saying …

“I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much your blog means to me. I relate to every post and find conviction in many things you write. My home is becoming more of a haven for my family because of your practical advice and suggestions. You are constantly looking at the Word and listening to the Holy Spirit, and through your obedience, many are blessed. All I can say is thank you!” – Stacey

“I just wanted to tell you that I totally feel like the Lord put you in my path for a reason. Everything I’m struggling with has been in your blog. It’s amazing, to be quite honest!! He’s using your words to remind me to seek Him. Thank you for your words, Hilary!” – Jessica

Imagine …

Imagine feeling satisfied as you walk in your front door.

You’ve spent your busy day out and about, but you can hardly wait to get home because you know an oasis awaits you. And not just any oasis … but one you absolutely adore, because it’s filled with your favorite things.

Your home is exactly where you want to be.

When you become a member of the Home to a Haven community, you’ll be encouraged and equipped to transform your home into a haven.

A little about my own haven …

Years before I had a family of my own, I wanted to spend time with friends and family in my home and bless them with whatever space I was living in. So I studied how to create a welcoming home and tried plenty of ideas along the way. Not everything worked … I had plenty of mishaps in the kitchen as I taught myself to cook! And I had a steep learning curve as I figured out the best ways to clean my home.

My desire to create a haven when I was single paled in comparison to when I finally became a wife and a mom. Creating a haven that would help nurture and for my husband and children became a huge priority for me.

The good news was it didn’t matter where my family lived or how much (or how little) we had. A bunch of material possessions didn’t create a peaceful home. Like it or not, my attitude did.

With a home full of people, I quickly discovered that I set the tone for the home. If I lost my temper easily or chose to be critical, my bad attitude rubbed off on my husband and kids. If I was discontent with our home – and let everyone know it – our home was not the welcoming haven of my dreams.

But if and when I walked closely with the Lord, it showed in the way I treated my family. If and when I invested in our relationships, our bonds grew closer and sweeter. And if and when I chose to be content with wherever we lived and worked with what we owned to make it a comfortable home, it became a refreshing place to live.

Today, my home has become a haven that’s peaceful and restful for both me and my family.
