Summary

This episode is a little different… and so much fun. Today Emme and I are sitting down for a lighthearted conversation about the “weird” things we did as a family growing up—things she definitely didn’t love at the time 😅 But here’s the funny part… She’s starting to do a lot of them now. We talk about: Growing up in an “ingredient household” (and why that actually mattered) Why I made the girls do daily “rest time” (and why they’d bring it back!) Our stance on sleepovers—and how it shaped safety and connection Driving an hour to church every single Sunday for 20 years Creating a home that felt joyful, colorful, and a little unconventional And underneath all the laughter, there’s something deeper: The rhythms and traditions you create in your home matter more than you think. Even the ones your kids roll their eyes at 😉 Because one day… they might just carry them into their own lives. This one is cozy, funny, and full of heart—and I think you’ll see a little bit of your own family in it too. Mentioned in this episode!
