Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Homemakersheak podcast. We are here every Monday. I am Angela Reed of Parisian Farmgirl, and I'm joined by my best friend who made me cry over on Instagram last week.

Shay Elliott of the Elliott Homestead and Shay Elliott.com. And we're here every Monday rescuing the art of homemaking from the daily grind. No red lipstick today. I'm fresh out of the garden and ripe.

Typically, we're doing this in red lipstick. We're not wearing any denim jumpers because we're shaking off that 80s maybe stereotype of the modern homemaker.

And we're here to encourage you in this fine art of creating a lovely functioning place for you and yours.

Whether it's just you or you got grandma living in the house with you or children.

I meant everything in between you and grandma for sure. A couple dogs for kids, you know, that kind of a thing. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? Happy Monday, my friend. Cheers.

Here's some coffee, Cafe Latte. Okay, one of those, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Yeah, I got something. You guys missed out. So when we first started this podcast three years ago, everyone in the world was home.

We started this week really or yeah, COVID hit. And we didn't used to do videos. So our patrons. This is the Patreon summer. Our patrons can see videos of us talking of us having these conversations.

We didn't used to do that. And so it used to just be us. And we probably didn't even look this nice put together when we did it because the pockets that two moms with 10 children can find are very small and yeah tight.

Anyway, I used to sit here while we were recording the podcast and I would just eat cheese.

Do you remember that? Yes. Oh, great. She's going to go on a tangent. I'm going to go to buy the cheese.

I would just say you're an eat cheese while Angela talk. Now we could see each other, but I wouldn't recording it.

Right. Well, I, this is my breakfast today. It's Monday and there's cheese. So yeah, there was like that period where she wore like Stuart sweater for every episode.

Like you got that sweater on again. And then one day it was really cold. And we were each recording in some.

The more non appealing parts of our house. And we each like popped on the screen with like skull caps on and like we were all trying to stay warm.

Yeah, we could record the show. Yep. I have recorded with many ugly backgrounds this podcast. I can remember when that window sat outside our nasty old slide door for two seasons.

Well, I'm in my office now. I painted it. I still have to paint the ceiling. I ran out of paint, but okay. I painted my office and look what I did behind me. Look at this.

You know, a little groping. There's no art in the frames, but the frames are on the wall. So I got still a pile of antiques from parents back there.
