Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad

motherhood and it really changed everything for me, literally changed my mothering life.

I tell everybody that. And so that's how I first knew you, but you didn't know me then.

And then when I started online ministry, I met you, I think at a conference and we became

fast friends because it was like, oh, it was just, I don't know, but we're just, you're
