Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Homemaker's Sheik podcast Monday morning podcast.

The Monday podcast.

It is Monday.

But we are so glad to be with you here.

I am Shay Elliott, joined by Angela Reed, and we have been, you know, doing our best to save

homemaking from the daily grind for five years now here on this podcast. We are in season,

I don't know, does it matter? I don't think it does, but we are focusing.

We are focusing this season, our homemaking efforts on being soft, not sloppy.

And kind of teetering between that wonderful line of soft and sloppy.

It's been a funny conversation. I've had a lot of people reach out to me

and know exactly what we mean. Sure. I think yeah. I mean, it helps to unpack. Let's just

unpack it really quick if they haven't caught any of this season.

Soft meaning, meaning give yourself a break, not sloppy, meaning still get the job done.

That's right. Just that right fine line. Like not letting it all go to pot just because you need a day off or a week off or whatever,

but just being gentle with yourself. And we've talked about how our bodies try to communicate to us through hunger pains and

stress.

And we've talked about communication.

We've talked about entertaining, giving yourself a break, and yet still being a good hostess.

And today, I wanted to talk about the garden.

I asked Angela to talk about the garden weeks ago.

And she's like, I'm not quite there yet.

I'm not quite there yet.
