Real Life, Real Home: A Conversation with Natalie Johnson of Home Begins With Love
In this episode of Fit for Real Life with Virginia, I’m chatting with Natalie Johnson of Home Begins With Love — a creator whose content feels like a warm hug for busy women everywhere.
Natalie is a homeschooling mom of five, and she built her platform not from a perfect plan, but from the real, everyday rhythms of family life. We dive into how she got started sharing homemaking online, what modern homemaking really looks like, and the mindset that keeps her grounded while juggling a full home and a growing family.
We talk about:
- How she prioritizes family time without the stress
- Practical routines and kitchen tips that actually work
- Prep anyone can do to make meals more efficient, and versatile.
- Her approach to cooking simple, nourishing meals
- How she structures her days while homeschooling five kids
- Wellness habits that help her feel her best
- Her family's favorite dinner, her personal go to dinner, and her favorite snack after her kids go to bed
Plus, we do a fun lightning round where she shares her favorite gadgets, go-to meals, three ingredients she'd bring to a desert island, and her favorite family vacation.
This episode was so fun, and Natalie’s honest, realistic approach is a reminder that home doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful — it just needs to feel like love.
