Welcome to Homemaking Organized!
Hi! I'm Kemi, pronounced “chem-e”. I am a Christian, wife, former foster parent, current homeschooler, mom of one little/big girl. I call her the Sweet Peanut. My husband and I have been married for 22 years and he likes to be called Daddy Big even though he is rather lean and not very big (but big in heart). We also have a kitten named Sherbert who so spoiled, naughty, and adorable.
Back in 2006 I was home recovering from a devastating loss and my sister encouraged me to start a website. Anything I could think of just to get my mind off my grief.
It's been said before that I'm Old Fashioned or was born in the wrong era. Meh. Maybe since I enjoy reading about the past and Vintage things. Whatever the reason I started sharing those tips, as they pertain to home, online. At the time there weren't so many homemaking sites and I figured there was a small group of women like myself who enjoyed the cares of home and reading about them so much.
So I started Homemaking Organized, which went by a different name back then, and the rest is history.

Absolutely love your articles Kemi. Your site is my go-to place when I am looking for quick solutions that will work for my home. I love your Homemaking Planner, and one of the best series you shared here was “Clean up Your Home in a Week.” If it worked for me it will work for anyone. I always feel a warm welcome at Homemaking Organized.
Aww Thank you Fiona! I’m so happy you find it helpful. I use that series myself at least once a year. I’ll be doing again at the end of the summer. Great way to refresh the home!
Hi Kemi!
I love all your articles and printables. They offer such a feeling of warmth and give joy in homemaking.
I would like to ask you when the monthly/weekly calendars for 2017 will be coming out. I know that currently you have them until April 2017, but I’m already starting to prep my next year’s new planner and I wanted to know if or when the rest will be available for purchase.
Thank you so much!

Hello Kemi,
I am a stay-at-home dad who operates the website What To Do With The Kids (whattodowiththekids.com) and we feature games, crafts, party ideas, a blog and a directory of places to go and things to do that are kid and family friendly.
I’ve just seen your blog listed as one of the top 100 family blogs on Healthy Moms Magazine and therefore wanted to connect with you.
I would like to invite you to submit an article to our site that you feel would be of interest to our visitors. Unfortunately, we do not pay for submissions.
We are also about to release a new app called SitterAdvantage which is designed to make sitters and nannies better and provide parents with peace of mind knowing that their kids are happy and safe. You can find more information about the app and our Kickstarter campaign at http://www.SitterAdvantage.com.
I am also interested in any cross-promotion ideas that you may have as well as long as they do not include any exchange of funds.
If you would like to connect, please feel free to contact me. You can also find us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and now on Instagram.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you in the near future.
One of the most interesting aspects I consistently come across is family’s who make the modern sacrifice to live on less also tend to give so much more than dual-earning counterparts. It seems proven that accepting a modest lifestyle allows opportunity for lavish giving of time, money, and talent.
