Transform Your Home Into a Haven

About

You long to live in a peaceful haven … but everything feels (and looks!) out of control.

You long for contentment in the marriage and home you have … but you feel so overwhelmed by life’s demands. (And let’s face it … both marriage and homemaking haven’t turned out as easy as you thought they would!)

You long to set a loving, grace-filled tone in your home … but all of the pressure to be perfect is making you snap at anyone around.

You long to find a daily rhythm that doesn’t make you want to pull out your hair … but your to-do list seems never ending.

You’re in the right place.

I believe every imperfect, overwhelmed Christian woman can be equipped to transform her home into a haven.

A little about my own haven …

Hilary BernsteinI’m Hilary, and 16 years ago when I was a newlywed, I quickly realized how difficult it was to cultivate a home that brought contentment and peace, as well as a satisfying marriage.

I also realized I didn’t have a clue about what to do.

When our family started to grow as my husband and I welcomed our son and daughter into the world, our home turned really chaotic. It felt like my homemaking responsibilities exploded, right along with the mess in my home. And finding time to build into our marriage? That seemed like a mere fantasy.

I longed to create a haven, both in my home and in my family, so I searched for ways to improve. I asked older, wiser women for advice. I read and listened to whatever I could in a quest to find what worked well for others. I scoured the Bible for direction. I tried – and tried again – different approaches until I found what worked for me. And I covered my home, marriage and family in countless prayers.

In the process, my prayers were answered. The advice and approaches stuck with me. And today, both my home and family bring peace, contentment, and satisfaction. After years of trial and error, I finally figured out how to transform my home into a haven. 

I would love to share what has worked for me, to help you find peace and contentment as a wife, mom, and homemaker.  

I started No Place Like Home in 2015 to share what has worked for me and to help you find peace and contentment as a wife, mom, and homemaker.  Most of all, I’d love to help you transform your own home into a haven.

Could you use some encouragement and advice?
