New? Start Here
Well hello there!
If this is your first time here I want to personally welcome you to Creative Home Keeper! I’m so glad you decided to stop by.
I’m Victoria, a woman who wears many hats- wife, mother of three little ones, home keeper, writer, friend, family member, teacher, avid reader- but most importantly I’m a woman whose heart belongs to Jesus.
I believe that He has a higher calling for us to embrace our roles as women, whether we are married with kids or not.
Mission and Purpose of Creative Home Keeper
When I felt the calling from God to start up this ministry here on the blog, I wanted to create a place where women at all stages of life could come to find encouragement, advice, practical tips, and a little bit of humor.
I’m not perfect, and I certainly don’t have it all together, but I believe that our Father can take our imperfections and equip us for our mission.
You can learn more about the mission and purpose of Creative Home Keeper here.
Mission Statement
Creative Home Keeper helps women aspire to be more purposeful & filled with joy by providing grace-filled tips & resources to live a more simple, intentional & devotional life.
There is a healthy mix of practical, how-to posts on homemaking and living with intentional, as well as posts where I share my faith and tips for living a more devotional life. All are welcome here!
What I Believe
Statement of Faith
- I believe in one God, the Father, creator of all things, perfect in love and holiness.
- I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who came down from Heaven, was born of the Virgin Mary and lived a sinless life as a man on this earth.
- I believe that Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, was crucified, dead and buried. He rose on the third day and ascended into Heaven, where He sits at the right hand of God as our advocate.
- I believe that the Holy Spirit is God and He glorifies Jesus Christ. I believe that the Holy Spirit leads and guides believers through teaching, sanctification, and filling them.
- I believe that the Bible is the infallible word of God and is the only God-inspired book of truth. I believe that God has preserved His Word, allowing it to be passed down from generation to generation.
- I believe that we all were created in the image of God, but through the sin of Adam, we are sinners who can be redeemed through Jesus Christ.
- I believe that salvation comes only from a faith in who Jesus Christ is. I believe that we are justified by grace through faith alone.
- I believe that the Church exists to exalt Christ, encourage believers, and to evangelize.

Scripture Graces
Want to grow your faith and allow God’s Word to become alive? A few years ago I began writing through the Scriptures as a way to help me focus on what I was reading (hello sleep deprivation!). That simple habit completely transformed my faith in ways I could never imagine.
Since I’m passionate about digging deeper into God’s Word, I created a resource to help other women dive into deeper study. Scripture Graces, A Word By Word Journey Through the Bible: Gospel of John Edition was created.
A keepsake journal to document and walk through the entire Gospel of John, word by word. You can learn more and purchase your copy HERE.
