#5 Preserving Civilization with Jennifer Pepito

05/16/22 • 39 min

In today's episode, Jen and I invite you to listen in as we discuss the ways in which we believe that as homemakers, we are preserving civilization. By reflecting on who and what we want to be known for, we are empowered to authentically build strong foundations within our homes by choosing where we invest our efforts and where we spend our time... and how that significantly impacts our home life, the world in which we live today, and the generations to follow. "As we take care of our homes, love our children, welcome in our neighbors, bake a loaf of bread, put some flowers out... we are being a civilized, restorative force in the world." - Jennifer Pepito (@jenniferpepito on Instagram)A few little things that were mentioned in today’s episode + the coordinating details:1.

#4 Home Culture with Kristin Cash

My friend Kristin and I invite you to listen in as we discuss what we believe to be cornerstones in the cultivation of our homes and the culture in which we intend to create. From traditions of both old and new, and the images of home that were planted in our heart's upbringings, we believe that through homemaking, we are building a rich home culture. A rich home culture that we pray will leave a lasting impact on the lives entrusted in our care, and for the generations to follow. "I love to have them (my children) scurrying around to create that culture of being seen and wanted. That they are a part of it, they don't just live here, but they are connected to their home, they are a part of their home. It makes such a difference to me because I felt that so much more deeply when I would visit my grandmother. I felt like I was a part of her day and a part of her home, and I just want my kids to know that when they leave, that culture is still bringing them back here, they can always come home and be connected." - Kristin Cash @ouralaskanlegacy on Instagram A few little things that were mentioned in today’s episode + the coordinating details:Kristin's Book Tapestry of GraceFellow homemaker Jennifer Pepito @thepeacefulpress on Instagram1,000 Gifts by Ann VoskampWay Maker by Ann VoskampJoin our community of thousands of women worldwide, as we navigate the joys and hardships of homemaking, alongside one another!

#6 Cultivating Comfort with Tayler Franke

One of the most fascinating things when we look back on the seasons in which we have journeyed through, is to see a gleam of golden thread, the love and appreciation of home, running through our lives. Whether it's creating a cozy home after we come home from work, moving cross country to a new home, or leaving behind the office for pursuing a life of full-time home economics... the making of a house a home is beautiful and valuable. In today's episode, Tayler and I invite you to listen in as we discuss and navigate the ways in which we have learned to adapt, cultivate comfort, trust in timing, and create a habit and practice of seeking contentment through the seasons of homemaking."Where can I intentionally seek joy? That's on my to-do list because in order for me to do the work that God is calling me to do in my home, joy really reigns for me, at least that's what combats any negativity in my spirit. It's one of my biggest weapons against the enemy. It allows me to find a peace and serenity in the work that I'm doing in my home." - Tayler Franke (@joyinthewilderness on Instagram)A couple of little things that were mentioned in today’s episode + the coordinating details:1. Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!"2. Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. - William Morris (The quote Ashley read that sparked the desire to make her family's home their own... to create a life they love... through each season and transition of homemaking.)Join our community of thousands of women worldwide, as we navigate the joys and hardships of homemaking, alongside one another!
