About Homemaking Through the Decades

Welcome to Homemaking Through the Decades, where timeless wisdom meets modern life.
This is more than a homemaking blog — it’s a celebration of everyday living, the art of creating a nurturing home, and the stories of women who’ve done it beautifully across generations.

Our Philosophy

Homemaking isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.
At HTTD, we believe in slowing down long enough to notice the small things that make a house feel alive: the smell of something baking, a well-loved tablecloth, a family recipe passed down through time.
Each era brought its own rhythm, lessons, and beauty. We bring them together here — blending vintage inspiration with practical, modern tools to help today’s homemakers create homes filled with warmth, meaning, and joy.

What You’ll Find Here

You’ll find stories, guides, and digital products designed to make homemaking feel less like a list of chores and more like a creative journey.
Our growing collection includes:

  • Digital planners and binders to simplify daily life and help you stay balanced.

  • Homemaking kits that inspire creativity in cooking, cleaning, decorating, and self-care.

  • Decade-themed stories and “Remember When” posts, honoring the homemakers who came before us.

  • Recipes Through the Decades, a culinary walk through time that brings comfort food and nostalgia to your kitchen.

  • And soon — interactive challenges and apps to bring these timeless ideas to life in new, modern ways

The Heart Behind HTTD

I’m Kim, a lifelong homemaker, creator, and storyteller.
Over the years, I’ve built a library of homemaking tools, recipes, and reflections inspired by women from every generation — from my grandmother’s practical wisdom to the creativity of today’s DIY homemakers.
HTTD was born from a love of preserving these traditions while reimagining them for a modern audience. My goal is to help you find joy in your own routines, creativity in your home, and balance in your everyday life.
