I am so excited to host our very first French homemaker! Eva Suchecki is keeping a home in France with her husband and their 3 children. We discuss her leaving the workforce to stay home full time, her covid era birth experiences and the big surprise of welcoming her 2 year old nephew into their family. 
We cover all the usual ground of beginnings, fails, wins, expectations and challenges. Turns out, homemakers around the world, face many of the same challenges.

I am so excited to be bringing you our first deep dive into the world of quilting, with homemaker, quilter, and teacher, Jessica Clark of thelarklife.com and the Handmade Happiness Podcast. 
Jessica didn’t grow up with quilts but she did have fond memories of her grandmother’s quilt collection and decided to pursue learning to quilt herself. With hardly any sewing experience she wandered into a local quilt shop’s class and began her lifelong love affair with quilts. Now and avid quilter, Jennifer is passionate about giving others the skills they need to practice the art of quiltmaking. 
In This Episode:
Quilting as Community Building and Stewardship
How Quilts Unite Through Storytelling 
Benefits to Embracing the Slowness of Quilting 
How to Shop for Vintage or Antique Quilts
Quilt Care
Getting Started with Quilting—tools, skills, & where to look for solid instruction
Jessica's Top 5 Quilting Tips

Today, we are continuing to spring clean our way through the home with the top-down approach. We’ve covered ceilings and overhead things and all of the hard vertical surfaces, including windows, doors and walls. This week, we will tackle the soft surfaces-primarily window coverings and linens. 
I want to start with linens, the move on to window coverings, and finally share with you a little spiritual lesson I learned from neglecting my curtains for nearly a decade.
