๐งธ GETTING COZY WITH OUR KIDS โ a home where they feel safe and loved ๐
Angela is fresh off a campfire-and-trivia getaway in a yurt, Shaye's house is reeling from the Great Chocolate Syrup Rebellion, and the ladies are diving into your comments, from potty for chocolate to husband clutter piles to spider season (there's a spray for that!). Then it's on to the coziest thing a homemaker can cultivate: a home where her children feel safe and loved. They talk about naming your bad attitude, training your mind to build peace instead of stress, and the little things that make a family want to gather. Uno cards on the ready, chopped firewood and plenty of throw pillows... let's make our homes the softest place to land this fall! ๐ฅโจ
