  • Cottagecore as a Framework for Life

    Cottagecore as a Framework for Life
    Jan 29 2026
    In this episode, we talk about how challenging it can be for modern homemakers to know how to build a healthy home and meaningful family culture. We share why we use the idea of a “storybook life” as our framework, and discuss the simple themes found in the cozy cottages we love in books and images. We explore how these ideas can shape daily rhythms, relationships, and homemaking — and why cottagecore is more than just an aesthetic. It can be a practical framework for everyday life.

    Here are the quotes from today's episode -

    "The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only, and that is to support the ultimate career. We build factories in order to make boots. We make boots in order to keep people warm. We keep people warm in order that they may have health and leisure. And what do they do with their health and leisure? They are nourished and clothed and housed in order that they may have children. And they have children in order that the race may continue. The stages are plain enough: everything exists for the sake of the family. If we forget this, we shall do much mischief.” — C. S. Lewis, “Is Progress Possible? Willing Slaves of the Welfare State” (1958)

We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.” -Margaret Nadauld
