Welcome back! Today we are breaking down a few of the lies that we as homemakers have caught ourselves believing (or acting like we believe.) We hope today's podcast will encourage you, but also motivate you as you care for your home. Some of the topics we cover is our view of balance, how covetting as a homemaker is a very real thing, and why maybe Mom's way isn't always best. And as usual we cover all of these topics with personal anecdotes, humor, and lessons from real life. We hope this episode is a breath of fresh air for your week.

Today's episode will challenge you to look at your home in a whole new light! And it doesn't take money as much as it takes creativity! Swapping rooms, troubleshooting weird corners-- Not to make your home the perfect showpiece for guests coming through, but for your family who lives and lands here every day! We'll discuss ways to stop looking at your home through an Instagram lens and not only tolerate the quirks of your home, but celebrate and appreciate them. And in our usual chatty fashion we'll also be discussing our Valentine's, thrifting woes, and someone is losing their childhood home. By the end, we hope you feel like you have permission to make the practical changes in your home that will impact your family long past winter. Let's make our homes peaceful. Not performative.A huge thank-you to our sponsors!

You know us today, but what was life like in 2016? I'll give you a hint-- VERY DIFFERENT! We loved this trend on Instagram and decided to take it to the airwaves. Join the cousins as they reminisce about what life was like startin out on their homemaking journeys. For Megan, 2016 was the Grand Finale. For Jayna-- the year that life actually started. We cover topics such as our most stressful moments, crazy homemade flying machines, quitting a job and traveling halfway across the country to make it on their own, and how motherhood changed EVERYTHING. Our 2016 could not have been more different. Buckle up, and come along with us for a little blast from the past!P.S.
