Welcome to Homemaker's Shake podcast. It is December. We are in to December now when we were in the other day, but we're here in December rescuing the art of homemaking from the daily holiday grind.

Some of us are wearing plaid blazers. We're doing it in red lips and no denim jumpers and we're really happy to be here with you.

Fabulous to make a chic audience on this Monday. We're going to talk. We're going to have a good time. Like we always do. I am Angela Rita, Parisian Farmgirl.com and I'm joined by Shea Elliott of the Elliott Homestead.com and Shea Elliott.com. She saw receiving something there. A beverage.

Oh, I see that. It's beverage time. Okay. How are you?

Can you talk and pour it at the same time?

Don't know. We'll see. I am doing well. I

loved our conversation the other day. Yes.

And as Shea does, I go and I like make these lists and I'm like, okay, just get going in the general direction.

And I think one of the takeaways for me from Thursday's episode was like, just do things you can do the things you can do.

Like, doesn't mean you're going to solve all your problems, but like there are things that you can do.

You know, whether it's a health thing or it's just a home thing.

So it's been good. It's been a good week. I think we say so much that we're not a victim. You know, we're not a victim of our kitchen. We're not a victim of our wardrobe.

We're not a victim of it. Like, right. Like we're not victims.

So what can we do? No matter what we do, whatever our topic that we're talking about on the show, we get done for an hour, the listener gets done for an hour.

And then we have to decide. Okay. Now we know XYZ or now we've been motivated or encouraged in such a fashion.

There is a decision to be made right at that moment. What will we do with it now?

Will it just be a source of entertainment? Or will it actually will something come from it?

Will some will it bear fruit? And the fruit bearing is, you know, we also say the Calvary is not coming. The fruit bearing is up to us.

The action is typically required, whether it's just folding that load of laundry or it's trying something new in the kitchen. Maybe you're part of Chase cooking community. It's time to just stop watching and actually do the cooking or something, but typically when we take in information.

I don't know about you, but I like a joke and information junky. It's probably a detriment. I think we'll talk about that a little bit today because we're going to talk about being the CEO of our free time.

And sometimes that sometimes that desire to consume information is really just an excuse to be entertained.

You know, yeah, 100%.
