You're listening to Episode 46, brought to you by Phonics Museum by Veritas Press.

Welcome to Cultivating the Lovely, the podcast for real moms who are seeking Jesus, trying to live their roles well,

and seeking to add a little bit more loveliness to their lives, even in just the little moments.

I'm your host, Mackenzie Monroe from bold turquoise.com and cultivating the lovely.com.

And today I've got my co-host, Erin Odom here with me from the Humbolded Homemaker.

And we're going to jump in with Erin in just a minute,

but before we get to that, I wanted to mention some big news. You guys have been hearing me

talk about this across social media and some mentions in the podcast, but it's official. It's

really live. Cultivating the Lovely has launched a Patreon account. I am so excited about this, you guys,

and so far we've had a great turnout. We actually launched secretly, quietly on December 31st,

and then we got it going full steam yesterday on January 1st, 2018, and I'm so excited to be doing

this because you guys were offering so much more content

and so many more opportunities to cultivating the lovely followers than we ever have before.

We're offering opportunities for true community and fellowship through our challenges

that are all focused around self-care and homemaking and we've got fun printables and many podcast episodes

and videos and all kinds of things that are going to be coming out exclusively to our CTL patrons.

Now, you can go to patreon.com forward slash cultivating the lovely. We also have those links in the show

notes, of course, but you can just head right over there and pick what level you want to support at.

And really, anything that you're able to do means so much to us.

And we're able to really give you more content.

We want it to be valuable to your lives.

We don't want you to just be throwing money at this.
