Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.I've got TWO great stories of home for you today! First I am chatting with Maryela Soto-Portillo who has been keeping a home for 15 years. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey, she now makes a home in Florida with her husband, 2 children, and her mother. Maryela works part time, homeschools her children and has dreams of opening a homeschool co-op to help other busy moms make homeschooling work for their families. Then, I visit with Amanda Faucett who has been keeping a home with husband, James, for 23 years. She just launched her son from the nest and will be launching her daughter in less than 2 years. Amanda and I have a great conversation about living in a somewhat politically divided home. It’s not a topic that comes up often, but it is her experience and she has some great insights to share. I will also be sharing a couple answers from last Monday's question of the week about favorite fiction books and giving you my answer to that question. Enjoy and don't forget to use the chapter markers to hop around and find you place later if you need to listen in more than one go. :) EPISODE LINKS & NOTESAllison's Update, Books MentionedThe Mitford Books by Jan KaronTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeBecause of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamilloThe Chronicles of Narnia by CS LewisHOMEMAKING RESOURCESFree Weekly Newsletter, Homemaker Happy MailPrivate Facebook Group, Homemaker ForumNewsletter ArchiveJR Miller's Homemaking Study GuideAudio Newsletter available to Titus 2 Woman monthly supportersSupport the showHOMEMAKING RESOURCES Private Facebook Group, Homemaker Forum Newsletter Archive JR Miller's Homemaking Study Guide SUPPORT & CONNECT Review | Love The Podcast Contact | Voicemail |Instagram | Facebook | Website | Email Follow | Follow The Podcast Support | theartofhomepodcast.com/support **Buy | as an Amazon affiliate, AoH receives a small commission at no extra cost to you when you use our links to purchase items we recommend
