You're listening to Episode 53, brought to you by the Growing and Joy Philippian study from

Stonesupe for 5.com.

Welcome to Cultivating the Lovely, the podcast for Real moms who are seeking Jesus, trying to live their roles well, and working to add just a little bit more loveliness in their lives, even in the little moments.

I am your host, Mackenzie Monroe from Cultivating the Lovely.com and across all social media at Bold Turquoise.

We're going to be jumping into this episode pretty quickly because it's a longer one than normal, but it's packed full of really fun stuff. But before we get to that, just a little bit of business. You guys always know that you can find us in the Cultivating the Lovely Facebook group. It's so much fun to be able to get to interact with you guys there and see what you're doing and how you're cultivating loveliness in your life. And if you want to take

things even a step farther, we've got our Patreon group. Now you can go to patreon.com forward slash

cultivating the lovely and you can see everything that we're working on throughout 2018. This month,

we're just finishing up working on our master bedrooms and creating habits on our morning and

evening routines.

And we're also doing a book club of Hello Mornings, which has been so much fun.

And next month, I'm really excited because we're going to be jumping into all kinds of self-care

with facial care and makeup.

So that is one of my favorite topics.

And I'm so excited to be able to do videos and talk to you guys all month long

about how we can really be taking care of ourselves better in that way. But right now,

let's jump into this episode with Angie Elkins. She is the host of Chatology, a really

great podcast and she's full of a wealth of information about how to be raising creative kids

and really fostering a

creative spirit within your family. I just love how she directs everything back to God and giving

God glory through the gifts that we've been given. And I think you guys are really going to enjoy

this episode and get to meet Angie if you haven't before. So without further ado, let's get on

with the show. Welcome, Angie. Thank you so much. Yay. I'm so
