Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.

Hey, ladies, welcome back to my podcast. Today, we're talking about a really fun topic that is something that Jason and I have been really focused heavily on this year. And a topic that whenever I talk about really resonates with a lot of you. So we're

going to be talking about learning real skills as a family, learning together, teaching our kids,

and just really getting real world skills. This is going to be, this is going to be a fun episode.

So we're just going to go ahead and jump straight in. You're going to hear from our two sponsors

for today's episode in a little while. We have Hello Fresh and Air Doctor. Both of those

are very timely to chat about right now. But for now, we're going to jump in with learning real skills. So before we dive really into the

content, I did want to share one really, really cool thing. So this last week, Jason and I and

our new creative director, Heather, we launched something brand new. And whenever you launch something

brand new can be a little scary because you think it's a brilliant idea. Your whole team thinks

it's a brilliant idea. You think other people are going to think it's a brilliant idea.

But it's a little bit nerve-wracking launching something brand new because you just don't quite

know. And this isn't a niche that is not our

typical niche. And so I was getting a little bit nervous last week leading up to this going,

I really hope people, I hope other people get it. I hope they get what we're trying to do here.

And you guys do. You get it. And I'm really excited. So we have brought Heather on. If you guys

have seen like our announcements, I should actually have an episode with her. That would'm really excited. So we have brought Heather on. If you guys have seen like our

announcements, I should actually have an episode with her. That would be really fun. But Heather is

joining our team. She started January 1st here at Finding Joy in Your Home. She is the creator of

the land of storybooks, which is a really awesome like book subscription kit. And in my opinion, the best subscription box we

have ever gotten, like really high quality, really, really well thought out, put together crafts.

Every time I got a box, I thought, oh my gosh, she just, she puts these together so well.
