Comment, “Roll” for this perfect weekend bake, and follow around for more delicious recipes ♥️

Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite treats, especially as the fall wind blows in!

These sourdough cinnamon rolls are tender, delicious, and perfect for fall! The sourdough reduces the gluten content of the rolls making them just a little bit healthier 😊

My favorite way to enjoy a cinnamon rolls is covered in frosting! Yum!

My favorite heatless curl routine that NEVER fails! I heatless curl my hair almost every time I wash it, it always turns out amazing! My fav Beatles curler from @mykitsch! Here’s how to do it: 🎀

Start by washing your hair like normal, I like to oil it a few hairs before and then double shampoo!

Use your normal products, but here’s the hack, when your hair is air drying add mouse to your roots!

Let’s your hair dry to about 80-90% dry, if it’s too wet it won’t dry by morning!

Simply use a hair clip to secure the curling rod and twist your hair around, use a hair tie at the end of each side. Then use an additional one to secure the two sides in the back!

Get your beauty sleep 😴

Wake up remove the hair ties you’re ready to go, I like to use a hair pick to loosen the curls a little! 🎀

Do you heatless curl your hair?🎀

Wanna save money on groceries? Properly prepping and storing your fruit is one of the best way to do that! Make sure to save this for later!🍓🍍🥝Here’s how I keep my fruit fresh all week:

1. Prep a bowl of cold water and vinegar to soak your fruit in

2. Add the fruit and soak for 5-10 mins

3. Remove from the water and run the fruit under the fresh water

4. Lay the fruit out on dish towels to dry

5. Layer the fruit in glass containers with paper towels!

I also prep our fruit bowls for the work week on Sunday! Simply layer your fruit from wettest to driest! Put all melons on the bottom and berries on top! 🍇🍓🍉🍍🫐

Do you prep fruit for the week?

A quiet morning before the world wakes up 🌿
The light was soft, the house was still, and I gave myself a few slow moments before logging in for the day.
Not perfect. Not rushed. Just little routines that help me start the day with intention—even on a Tuesday.

What’s one thing that makes your mornings feel a little softer?✨

Comment, “chicken” for your new favorite flavorful weeknight dinner! Follow along for more ♥️

I love dump and bake meals for an easy weeknight dinner! The salty olive and sweet prunes in this chicken are undeniably delicious! They may take longer to bake, but you can get work done around the house while it cooks!

1. Making the bed while I brush my teeth every morning
2. Waking up 5 minutes earlier for reading and quite time
3. Wiping the bathroom sink with my washcloth every morning (helps keep the dust at bay)
4. Creating a “home” for my phone so I can be present at night
5. Simplify my grocery shopping routine, great for budgeting and time management!
6. Lighting a a candle with dinner
7. Cooking more on the weekends to save my busy weeknights (aka leftovers)
8. Putting a basket out for all my husbands pocket items
9. Set out my outfit for work every night, saves me from one less decision in the morning when I’m sleepy!
10. Changing into comfy clothes the minute I get home—it’s like flipping a switch
11. Leaving a notecard on the counter for random thoughts/to-dos, also keeping one at my desk!
12. Doing one “home reset” song each day (3 minutes of cleaning while a fave song plays)
13. Getting a cord organizer to keep the cord chaos at bay
14. Using the Notes app to track what’s in my freezer—no more mystery meats
15. Cleaning out my purse on Sundays (I feel like a new woman every time)
16. Writing paper notes to people, may see out dated but means so much more

None of these take more than a few minutes—but they make my home feel so much more lived-in, not just passed through.✨

Hi, I’m Lauren—The Weeknight Homemaker.
I’m here to show you how to balance work and home with joy, grace, and a little sparkle. 💻🏡

Whether you’re building a career, dreaming of staying home, or doing a little of both—this page is for you.
Because homemaking isn’t one-size-fits-all, and you don’t have to choose between ambition and cozy. 🥰

Let’s create a life we love—one weeknight at a time.
Follow for homemaking inspo, cozy recipes, and real-life routines that actually work ✨

#fyp #foryoupage #homemaker #women #feminine #cooking #baking #softlife #faithfilledfeminine

1. Dress with Soft Touches
Pastels, florals, delicate jewelry—small details help you feel confident and feminine. 🌺

2. Speak with Kind Confidence
You can be warm and assertive. Speak with clarity, not apology. ✨

3. Keep a Cozy Touch at Your Desk
A floral planner, pink pens, or a soft throw—make your workspace reflect your spirit. 🕊️

4. Wear Light, Uplifting Fragrance
A soft perfume or hand cream can instantly make you feel more polished and put together. 🌸

5. Lean Into Soft Skills
Empathy, intuition, and grace are strengths that make you a powerful team member and leader. 💌

6. Romanticize the Routine
Turn simple things—like packing lunch or checking emails—into peaceful rituals.🏡

7. Take Care of Your Appearance (for you)
Light makeup, soft curls, or your favorite lipstick can boost your inner glow.💐

8. Stay Organized With Elegance
Use a pretty planner, color-code your notes, and keep your space tidy and beautiful. ☀️

9. Carry Yourself With Grace
Be the calm in the room. Move intentionally, listen fully, and treat others with gentleness.👗

10. Stay Grounded in Faith & Purpose
A quiet moment of prayer, a sticky note verse, or gratitude on your commute can anchor your spirit.

💖 Femininity is not a barrier to success—it’s your secret strength.
These habits will not only help you feel more like yourself at work—they’ll help you lead with grace, stand out with elegance, and truly excel.

Studies show women who wear makeup to work are often seen as more capable, confident, and even more professional.
And yes—sometimes, that can mean a higher paycheck too.

It’s flattering, frustrating, and totally worth talking about.

Have you ever felt like you had to “look the part” just to be taken seriously?

Comment “recipes” if you want the link to everything I prepped! 🍒

I spent a little time this weekend getting lunches ready for my husband and me to make the week feel a little smoother and a lot more delicious. I love knowing we’ve got nourishing, homemade food ready to go especially on those extra busy days.

Here’s what’s in our fridge this week:
• Chicken salad for easy lunches
• Fresh sourdough (always)
• Homemade granola bars for snacking
• Bone broth to sip mid-day
• A green smoothie to start the morning right
• Green tomato egg bites
• And some Starbucks-style egg bites because they reheat like a dream

There’s something so comforting about opening the fridge and seeing it full of good food 🧺💛

This is just the tip of the iceberg of all the food I’ll make this week!♥️
