| 0:00.0 | Sometimes as moms, we just underestimate the power that we have in the spiritual formation of our children. |
| 0:05.0 | We don't really give it as much weight as it should. |
| 0:08.3 | And so I think that's a big part of it is just cultivating a sacred life in our children and in our home. |
| 0:14.9 | Even if your children are grown, you don't have to just give up. |
| 0:18.1 | This is still your home, your monastery. |
| 0:20.0 | You could still establish some sacred |
| 0:22.6 | practices. My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse |
| 0:29.2 | on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking |
| 0:34.4 | and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way. |
| 0:47.6 | Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today I'm having on Jennifer Pepito. |
| 0:53.5 | She just wrote a brand new book, which is out next month called Habits for a Sacred Home. |
| 0:58.3 | In it, she discusses when the world is chaotic, |
| 1:04.7 | which is honestly throughout history. It's pretty common. Looking to these simple practices that create a rhythm in your home that will produce kids of character. A lot of us as moms, that's what we |

| 1:22.6 | Jennifer, for joining us here on the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. I was just reading through your |

So tell us about your book and when it comes out. And then we're going to discuss that concept. So habits for a sacred home. That's right. So Habits for a Sacred Home releases May 7th, |
| 1:45.7 | but it's available for pre-order now. Okay. And it's, it's really about spiritual disciplines for moms. |
| 1:52.1 | Yeah. Yeah. So I was reading through it to get the basic idea and I already can relate so much. So it's |

Like we think sometimes the way the world is now is unique and special in that it's crazy. You know, everything's getting worse. And in a lot of ways, I think we forget that this is kind of how |
| 2:18.3 | history works. And people have still maintained these sacred habits and raised their kids almost |
