Homemaking is hard work.

Others make it look easy, but you end the day exhausted with still so much left to do. You wish someone could show you how to stay on top of a busy household, but right now it feels impossible.

Tired trying to do it all?

Do any of these sound familiar?

1

You constantly feel the pressure of having too much to do, so you grab your phone and tune out, just to stop the internal nagging.

2

The work never seems to end. There’s always more to do, no job is ever complete, and whatever you do is quickly undone by other people.

3

You keep trying to reach a base-level “square one” so you can move forward, but you can’t ever seem to make it.

You’re not the only one.


“I once had good systems and habits, but after twins with a five- and three-year-old, they disappeared. What used to work no longer did.”
Rosemary Bartlett,
now a mentor-level member
“I was totally disorganized and had a bad attitude about homemaking. I especially hated cooking and kitchen work. I called myself a failure so regularly that my kids had started to call me out on it, but I saw it as the truth.”
Yvonne Newgent,
now a mentor-level member
“Before I joined, I was a mess! 🤪”
Kelty Brittle,
now a mentor-level member

“Now my mindset is much better about making progress step-by-step.”

“I definitely struggle with a boom and bust cycle and the overwhelm that always happens after the bust. I always want to completely overhaul things. I think iterating is the best lesson I have learned from Mystie. There is no perfect plan. I have far more grace for myself and am seeing real and lasting improvement in my home and in how I feel about life.”
ELIZABETH DELOACH,
homeschooling mom & pastor’s wife,
now also a mentor-level member


I THOUGHT HOMEMAKING WOULD BE EASY.

“It’s just laundry and dishes. How hard could it be?”

Turns out, pretty hard.

Turns out, what makes you a good kid, a good student, or a good employee will not make you a good homemaker.

But no one tells you this stuff. I had to figure it out myself.

I don’t want you to wait as long as I did or struggle as hard.

So I started Convivial Circle.

Introducing

Convivial Circle

Get the peace and progress you’ve been looking for with many courses, weekly seminars, Zoom meetups, daily texts, accountability, and so much more. Everything inside will keep you gospel-focused and motivated in the mundane.

LOST ALL YOUR MOTIVATION? STUCK?

3 reasons you might be stuck and overwhelmed:

one

You have so much to do that you don’t even know what you have to do.


You need to get clarity about the feelings of vague obligations you feel and you need to declutter the responsibilities you’ve taken on – both commitments to others as well as unstated but felt commitments – according to your true calling. That’s why we do brain dumps & clarify our vocations.

Two

Your house is in so much chaos you can’t even think.


Decluttering is hard and takes time. Cleaning a backlog of mess is hard and takes time. Inside Simply Convivial Circle we don’t pretend decluttering is a weekend project or a quick and easy solution. We offer the support you need to stick with it and also climb out of the mental and emotional load keeping you stuck. 

Three

You feel like an empty jug continually pouring out, without time for refills.


Guess what: We know from Scripture what God can do with empty jugs. He can cause the oil to never run out, even when there was no oil left in the land. The wells we dig do run dry. The answer isn’t to dig more wells. It isn’t to try harder or to take time for ourselves. The answer is to grow in prayerful dependance and reliance on God who supplies our lack.

Housework is never done always being undone.

When you lose hope that you’ll ever finish…

  • you get stuck in a bad attitude funk.
  • you wind up procrastinating.
  • you find yourself lost in an avalanche of dishes and laundry.
YOU’RE NOT STUCK. NOT ONLY CAN YOU TACKLE THE BACKLOG, YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOVE THE CHALLENGE YOUR HOME PROVIDES.
Ready to get started?

The work we do in the home is important…


(even the tasks that look and feel insignificant.)

We can’t wait around, hoping we’ll get better. We need to take responsibility, wrap our heads around our calling, and dig in with grace and joy.

Plus, you can save on our quarterly or annual plans.

LIKEMINDED WOMEN CURRENTLY ENROLLED

“I have tried a lot of different planning programs, and I always get stuck on long-term planning. Trying to imagine the future makes little sense and feels very overwhelming. I am really loving the freedom of focusing on where I am now and what my responsibilities are now, trusting that if I am faithful in this, God will bring new opportunities into my life when the time is right.”

LORI SEAMAN

I feel less frazzled and less overwhelmed. I can tell my thinking is changing, I’m less overwhelmed and I know how to do the “next best thing” better. Overall I feel less frazzled and I’m quicker at rebounding when life gets crazy. I have struggled with time management and attitude for a long time, but Mystie has helped me so much since I’ve joined.”

JUDY TROXLER

Convivial Circle has been transformational for me. It really helped me connect the dots and gain such clarity. Engaging with membership has helped me identify problem areas and given me workable strategies to overcome them. I keep coming back again and again to the courses, too, and every time they are helpful. I am now making progress even though my to-do list keeps getting longer! Mystie’s insights and tips have been game changers for me!

KORTNEY GARRISON

Here I have the support I need to stick with my new attitude. When I started I thought my biggest struggle was a lack of routines. I now have a better attitude because I know cleaning the house is just preparing it for the next day. This idea has been so revolutionary. I’ve been stuck thinking that I can’t get it clean, so why bother because it’s just going to get messed up again. I now have a whole new mindset.

LIZ BRZEZINSKI

I used to be always overwhelmed, but I focused on just doing the next thing, starting with baby steps, and smiling. Now my life is much more manageable.

CHERYL SCOTT

I was always late and grumpy. Now I’m quicker to rebound from the bad days and overall I have more emotional energy for life.

AMANDA SEWELL

Most people seem to think that paying jobs need training, but keeping the house is work for the unskilled.

BUT – Homemakers need
professional
development, too.

Hi, I’m Mystie Winckler.

In my 22 years of married life and 20 years of mothering, I think I’ve read nearly all the homemaking and productivity books out there. 

They seemed like they should be helpful, but I still felt like I couldn’t get traction and that the smallest setback was a hurdle I couldn’t overcome. I felt like giving up. Baby #3, baby #4, baby #5 – each one sent me for a loop, undid progress I thought I had made, and showed me how little I had actually figured out.

As I climbed out of the chaos of life change each time, I realized what was really important. Yes, the dishes and the laundry matter, but my attitude and motivation in it all mattered more.

Join me and hundreds of other ladies as we learn to apply the gospel to our everyday lives and duties.

LIKEMINDED WOMEN PARTICIPATING

When women work through these courses, this is what they say –


“It was so relaxing to know I was focusing on what mattered most.”
JESSICA SMITH, after finishing Sweep & Smile

“Now I am not surprised when I get pushback, I lay out the daily plan for the kids so they know what to expect, and I just start each morning!”
BECKY PHILLIPS, after finishing Art of Homeschooling

“I realized that my attitude was at the root of my boundary issues. Facing this helped spur on a new front in my battle with depression. I’ve finally found a plan that is inspiring rather than heavy.”
AMANDA ROBY, after finishing Organize Your Attitude

JOIN LIKEMINDED CHRISTIAN WOMEN, INTENT ON MOVING FOrWARD IN JOY

Convivial Circle will help you become a homemaker who glorifies God.

It’s not about finishing a course. It’s about continuing your own personal development within one of your most important roles. Convivial Circle is designed so you can mix and match, dip in and out, find just the right resource at just the right time. You don’t need to follow someone else’s agenda. You need support and accountability for where you’re at right now.

We all need a mentor…


Most people seem to think that paying jobs need training, but keeping the house is work for the unskilled. Either that or it’s so negligible it can be done on the side after “more important things” – like a career.

As Christian women, we know that managing family and home life is our calling, whether we also have paid work or not. Homemaking is one way we serve God.

Homemaking is stewarding our resources – our money, space, and time – to the glory of God. It matters…and it takes skill.

When we pursue homemaking and organization to glorify ourselves, we will end in frustration. But if we do it all for God’s glory and trust His providential care along the way, we can be organized. That is, we can calmly & cheerfully manage life at home.

Inside Convivial Circle, you’ll learn…

To organize your attitude first.

Feeling overwhelmed is an optional response. It’s a temptation we don’t have to indulge.

Change is doable. Progress is possible.

You don’t need to change your circumstances to fix it. You need to change your attitude & your approach.

The only kind of control we have is self-control.

Our attempts at organization fail because they focus on controlling our space, our situation, our spouses, our children. Instead, we need to organize our own attitudes and our own choices.

“Before I enrolled, I was always putting out fires.”

“Plus, I would spend so much time researching the right way to do something that I would be too afraid to start for fear of failure. Now I’m able to get started because I know I’ll tweak as I go. This new approach has led me to consistent weekly reviews, meal planning, daily planning, and big picture planning. I’m more patient with the process of learning something new, realizing it will take practice and adjusting and that’s okay. I feel good about the progress I’ve made! This is what I want to teach my children.”
