Hi, and welcome back to the next episode of the Homemaking Foundation's podcast.

I am back after missing two episodes in a row.

So that's two weeks that I missed recording here on the podcast. and I didn't realize how much I miss recording

these podcasts until I went two weeks without recording them. So I am excited to be back today

recording this episode. We are going to be talking about traditions with Christmas coming up

here next week. We're going to be talking about

traditions through Christmas, but also using traditions in our own lives and for our families

just throughout the year and the significance that those roles play. But I want to share a little

bit about why we missed two episodes in a row.

By God's grace, we have been able to be really consistent with these podcasts, which is really

hard with four kids under three and just running and managing a household. It is really

consistent. I mean, it's really hard to be consistent with this podcast.

But we have not missed a single week since July when we had our second set of twins.

And so we took off a few weeks from the podcast because up until then, we had been ahead on several episodes.

So we didn't have to be filming a new

episode every week. And we got ahead on stuff and it was great. But we did then take a few weeks

off in July. And since then, we have not missed any episodes. And that's just God sustaining us

and getting us to get these episodes recorded and we've been so thankful.
