  • Podcast Series Introduction - Home-Making by J.R. Miller
    Oct 28 2024

    "What happens when a Pinterest quote leads to a profound exploration of family roles from an 1882 classic? Join us as we embark on a captivating journey through J.R. Miller's "Homemaking," alongside our insightful guide, Morgan. This episode marks the beginning of a new series where we dissect each chapter of this timeless book, unraveling its still-relevant themes of collaborative home-building. We start by questioning the skepticism that naturally arises from a homemaking book penned by a man in the 19th century and explore why its messages continue to resonate today.

    Morgan shares her personal connection to the book, recounting how initial skepticism transformed into inspiration. We discuss the nuanced roles outlined in chapters like "The Wedded Life" and "The Home Life," and how these roles are essential for cultivating a nurturing home environment. Discover the importance of shared vision and collaboration within families, and why "Homemaking" challenges the outdated notion that creating a harmonious household rests solely on women. Whether revisiting this classic or discovering it for the first time, prepare for lively and thoughtful discussions on family dynamics that promise to inspire your own home and life."

    Boom. Jenkins, our AI assistant nailed it!

  • July's ERL: Balancing Parental Guidance, Baking Adventures, and Literary Insights
    Jul 30 2024

    "How do you balance parental guidance with allowing your children to express themselves freely? Tune in to discover our thoughts on this, as we dive into our recent family-friendly listening habits, featuring artists like Jarvis Campbell, Wilder Woods, and Dude Perfect. We also touch on the beautiful intersection of love songs and spiritual themes within their music. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on parenting philosophies and the importance of supporting our kids' unique identities, no matter how many times they insist on wearing that same favorite shirt.

    Join us on a flavorful journey as Virginia shares her newfound passion for baking, savoring the joys of seasonal foods like watermelon and a classic tomato, basil, and mozzarella dish. We'll also talk about navigating the challenges of gluten sensitivity and contrasting Virginia's meticulous recipe-following with a more spontaneous cooking style. On the literary front, our reading habits have been revolutionized by Naval Rabakant's liberating approach, currently leading us through "The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History." Don't miss our thoughts on integrating multimedia experiences through our Substack platform and our gratitude for our loyal audience. Until next time, happy gardening!"
