In this episode of Oma’s Musings, I’m getting honest about something many of us feel but rarely say out loud: I’m over cooking. I never loved it to begin with, and now that I’m older, I’m fully embracing simpler meals, less stress, and letting go of the pressure to plan perfect meals every week. I also share how time-consuming and expensive it’s become to try to eat healthy in today’s economy—and why it’s okay to do things differently in this season of life. If you’re in the same boat, grab a cup of something cozy and let’s talk about it.

Welcome to Oma’s Musings—a cozy space where life slows down, faith runs deep, and the clutter (both physical and emotional) begins to clear. I’m Kathy—wife, mom, Oma, and now navigating this beautifully messy season of retirement. Whether you're downsizing, caregiving, organizing your home, growing in your faith, or simply craving a little peace, you're in the right place. Around here, we keep things simple, soulful, and real.
