Welcome to episode 160 with Jennifer and Emelie Pepito.
The holiday season is an amazing opportunity to shift your educational goals and create a Christmas school that allows your family to enjoy a slower pace of learning and the opportunity to apply learned knowledge to skills like engineering a snowman, baking cookies, sewing needlepoint decorations, or developing your family's bespoke Christmas soap or bath salts. There are so many ways to learn, and Christmas with all the attendant arts and crafts is a fantastic time to pivot from textbook learning and explore hands-on learning.

Restoring Intimacy After Betrayal
Welcome to Episode 158 of the Restoration Home Podcast.
The heart of the home for a child is the tenderness and connection between parents. A good marriage is also one of the hardest endeavours an adult can undertake, and one of the most rewarding. But what do we do when our relationship is dogged by betrayal, unhealed trauma, and ugly pain?
This conversation with Joanna and Mathew Raabsmith is so full of hope, helpful advice, and encouragement for taking the steps to restore connection and intimacy in your marriage.
This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

How to Plan Your Family's Perfect Christmas with Jennifer Pepito
Growing up, Christmas was magical. My parents made first things first, and gave us consistently quiet, deeply magical, family-centred, Christ-focused Christmases. As I grew up, I realised how truly rare this was, as so many friends expressed distaste for the holidays because their parents were stressed, or they were introverts dragged from event to event.
So often, we get caught up in the hustle of the Season, missing both its true symbolism and losing opportunities to carve out truly life-giving memories for our families. Jennifer's step by step guide to making Christmas, hosting, giving, and gifts simple, priorities focused and delightful is the perfect way to step into the Season. Enjoy!

How to Create a Home You Love with Kate Strickler
Welcome to Episode 157 with Kate Strickler. Kate is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, I Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen. This delightful book takes you through all the little lies that can cause you to compare your lives to others or derail your plans when you sink into the trap of envy and comparison. The book and the episode are about setting real priorities for your life, your space, and your time. Because at the end of the day, what matters more: those subway tiles in your kitchen or children who grow up and want to hang out with you, a husband who feels at peace in your presence, and a community who value you deeply for who you are not what you post on socials.
