Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito

Welcome to episode 181 with Jennifer Pepito and Jennifer Dukes Lee. Jennifer set out to write a book about mornings through the lens of what the Bible says about the early hours of the day. The result is her newest book How to Love Your Morning: Faith Filled Habits to Build a Life of Joy and Purpose One Day at a Time.

We don't often think of mornings through the lens of how God views them, but so much of scripture is God calling people out to connect with him or go with him in the morning. But how can we have a great morning when we arrive at it carrying the stress, dissapointment, or sleeplessness of the previous day? Jennifer walks through the simple steps we can take to set up our mornings for greatness, adjust to the season you are in, and a few tips for letting go of unfinished tasks so you can start your loveable morning the night before.

How do you know if your home education is ticking the right boxes? How do you know if you're hitting the right priorities, making important milestones, and raising healthy, happy, whole, and well educated children? 

With so much noise, so many checklists, and so many conflicting goals, Carrie De Francisco joins Jennifer in Episode 179 to talk about evaluating your home education journey through simple questions. 

Carrie De Francisco and Jennifer Pepito are both veteran homeschoolers who have made it their goal to help parents navigate education, particularly highschool, without reverting to the defunct system that is traditional school. 

Home Education, at it's best is effective and simple, and Carrie's new book A Home Education Handbook with nine questions to help you evaluate your home school process is a great resource to destress, get back on track, and feel confident in what you are doing. 

Asking questions rather than trying to check off a daily list or confine experience, real life challenges 

Whether you're considering homeschooling through high school, in the midst of it, or looking for fresh ideas after homeschooling your third child, this episode is a goldmine of practical advice.

Welcome to episode 178!

Work is essential for things like hand-eye coordination, a sense of self-esteem and belonging in children, and a core building block for future success. 

How do we build this habit, though, without destroying childhoods, derailing parent-child relationships, or raising children who hide when they see us coming for fear of being tasked with work. 

Jennifer takes you through the work and life of "Ma Moody" to discover keys to raising children who love work, who want to work with you, and building good habits without taking away from a child's childhood.
