I didn’t expect to get pulled into a homemaking and lifestyle blog, but A Hundred Affections quickly caught my attention. What started as a quick scroll turned into an in-depth look at DIY projects, home decor inspiration, and faith-driven reflections. Kate, the creator behind this space, brings a mix of creativity, personal experience, and practical wisdom that makes this blog feel like a conversation with a trusted friend rather than just another Pinterest-perfect showcase.
A Well-Rounded Approach to Faith, Family, Home, and Health
What I love about A Hundred Affections is how it balances its four main focus areas: Faith, Family, Home, and Health. As I explored each section, I found thoughtful, well-organized content that helped me think about how to bring more balance into my own life.
The Woman Behind the Blog
What makes A Hundred Affections feel so inviting is Kate’s background and perspective. As a former high school English teacher turned full-time blogger, she brings a clear and structured approach to her content. Her love for teaching shines through in her well-organized tutorials and thoughtful writing style.
As a homeschooling mom of twin boys, she understands the realities of balancing home life, creativity, and personal growth. That understanding comes through in her writing—her advice feels real and achievable, not idealized or unattainable.
Creative and Practical DIY Inspiration
I always appreciate a blog that makes DIY projects feel approachable rather than intimidating, and A Hundred Affections does exactly that. Instead of being filled with complicated tutorials that require professional-level skills, Kate shares ideas that are both stylish and achievable.
While browsing, I came across her Cheap & Easy DIY Wood Bead Wreaths for Every Season. I’m not the most skilled crafter, but the tutorial made it look so doable that I’m tempted to try it myself. The step-by-step breakdown reassured me that I wouldn’t need expensive materials or special tools—just a bit of patience and creativity.
I also found her 25 Winter White Decorating Ideas for January particularly helpful. Seasonal decorating often feels overwhelming to me, but Kate’s approach felt refreshing. She suggests simple yet elegant ways to transition from the holiday season without making the house feel bare. Her mix of classic and modern elements, while keeping things budget-friendly, really resonated with me.
A Personal and Thoughtful Approach to Faith & Family
Beyond decor and DIYs, what really made me connect with A Hundred Affections was Kate’s personal touch. She doesn’t just offer homemaking tips—she shares real-life experiences that I found myself relating to.
Her post on Our Infertility Journey stood out to me. Reading about her personal struggles and resilience made the blog feel more than just a collection of home projects—it felt like a space where real stories are shared.
Her faith-based reflections were another part of the blog that pulled me in. Whether she’s writing about motherhood, gratitude, or navigating life’s challenges, her words feel honest and encouraging. I got the sense that she’s not just writing to create content—she’s sharing from a place of real experience and connection.
Healthy Living That’s Actually Doable
Finding simple, healthy recipes that fit into my busy routine can be a challenge, but Kate does a great job of making nutritious meals feel accessible. I was particularly drawn to her post on 35+ Healthy & Delicious High Protein Overnight Oats Recipes. With so many variations, I know I’ll be coming back to this list when I need a quick, healthy breakfast option that doesn’t require a lot of prep time.
Where the Blog Could Grow
While A Hundred Affections already offers a lot of valuable content, I found myself thinking about ways it could expand even further:
Video Tutorials – While the step-by-step DIY guides are well-written, I’d love to see short video tutorials to make them even more engaging and easier to follow.
Printable Planning Tools – A collection of home organization or meal-planning printables would be a useful addition to her practical approach.
Interactive Community Features – A Facebook group or forum where readers could share their own DIY projects and homemaking experiences would create a stronger sense of community.
Seasonal Challenges – Hosting a seasonal DIY or decluttering challenge could encourage more reader participation and engagement with the blog’s content.
My Final Thoughts
Kate’s blog blends creativity, practicality, and heartfelt personal stories in a way that makes it stand out from many others in the homemaking space. While some lifestyle blogs focus purely on aesthetics, A Hundred Affections offers real-world inspiration that I can actually use.
If you enjoy a mix of creativity, faith, and practical homemaking, I’d recommend checking out A Hundred Affections. It’s the kind of blog that doesn’t just give you ideas—it gives you the motivation to make them happen in your own home.
