Charlotte Mason wisely wrote, “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.” The atmosphere of our homes silently forms our children—shaping their affections, habits, and understanding of what it means to live the good life. One towards our last end and oriented towards divine intimacy & union with God. Words from “Joyfully Domestic” blog





I love painting these kinds of scenes. They bring me peace and serenity, reminding me that beauty can be found in every corner of life. It is just a matter of perspective and faith in God, knowing that even in the silence, He is working to elevate us to our highest calling.

Walking Down Memory Lane

I’ve been keeping all my paintings (old and new) though these are just my practice projects. They’re special for a simple reason that I put time and effort in learning color mixing, shading, techniques, and many to mention. I still have a loooooong way to go, but I’m excited for any small improvements along the way. I dream of continuing to paint even if I will have my own family someday. To have a workshop at home with my kids is a dream I pray will be granted. I   didn’t receive much support for my creativity while growing up. No harsh feelings though that’s just how it was. I remember nearly crying when my late father hung one of my paintings in our living room and how proud he was for me. That  gesture meant everything. I am so grateful for my parents and I love them so dearly. One day, I will be a parent myself  —imperfect, but loving, and loved. I can’t help but ponder these thoughts: If I am called to a life of marriage, what kind of mother will I be?...

Crochet 🧶

  I recently picked up crocheting, and I’m overjoyed to have found another hobby that brings both calm and focus into my “slow life” days.  It’s been a peaceful rhythm to learn, and I’m surprised by how relaxing it feels, I find myself more present. Below are some of my early creations. They’re simple and novice, but they bring me so much joy, especially knowing that I can turn them into heartfelt gifts for others. ♦For my collection of books — Book Sleeve crochet  ♦ Cellphone pouch crochet      Coasters    …more coasters ♥   Hair Bandana    Hair Bandana 2 😆   ♦Crescent Bookmark Crochet I’ll continue practicing each day in hopes of getting better over time.

My Creative Journey

It’s been a while since my last post—and a lot has happened since I became Mrs. Reinhart. But today’s update isn’t about life changes; it’s simply to document where I am in my creative journey. I think it was around June or July 2023 when I started diving into art and crafts on a daily basis. I’ve been learning through YouTube tutorials, reading art books (I’m happy to say I’ve collected at least 15 new PDF art books—still unread but full of promise!), daily sketching, journaling and reflecting. Most of my learning happens quietly, in my little art space, where I create and share my output to my social media—not for the likes or recognition, but because I believe art is meant to be shared. Just as beauty is subjective, so are the pieces I make. I’m not always sure if I’ve captured the feelings or message I intended but each piece is a part of me. My art space has evolved over time, a reflection of who I’m becoming.  My table was a wooden one handmade by my late father—sturdy, full ...
