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 practical series. If you miss the last couple of episodes, then we are

jumping into practical topics for your

home. We have had some really fabulous episodes the last year, the last two years, where we've

gone pretty heavy into some spiritual topics. We've talked about fear. How do we prepare our

children for the future? Really good things that have needed to be addressed,

but also things that are a bit heavier. And I thought it would be fun if we kind of transitioned

into some more practical topics. So last week, I talked about Jamie's top moving tips for families,

which is kind of random, but that's because we just moved. And so

it was fresh on my mind, which is really the best time to talk about it. The episode before, I did a

practical homemaking Q&A, which was really fun. Five ways I'm cutting costs, but not quality this

year, which was great. And then we have a few more really practical fun episodes coming up.

I did want to remind you that we are going to be, for the first time ever, we're going to be

taking a summer hiatus from just the podcast. And I feel like we need the space for this for a

whole lot of reasons. We have an incredibly huge project launching in September. I'm also

due on my C-section with Baby Number 7 is scheduled for August 26th right now. That could change,

but that's what it's scheduled for right now. And so with this big project launching in September,

we're doing the work right now to have it all done. I'm really

excited. We're going to be sharing about that soon. And just having the time off for the summer.

Plus, listens and views of the podcast are way, way down in summer because people are out doing

stuff. And so we still do have our archive. I'm going to have stuff on Instagram going out.
