At Home with Terri Bonin!

S3 Ep. 44 Feminism has hurt women, in Christian Conservative circles, this reality is not hard to acknowledge. But, for the rest of the secular world, this is not a natural realization. Lily Kate, author of We Can’t Do It: 50 Reasons Feminism Failed, just released this book as a commentary on American feminism. This book is not a pitch to go back to the Victorian Era, but an appeal to move on from feminism, because we tried it, and it failed.

From the ever changing definition of feminism, to the truth about the vote, to how feminism devolved into what we know it to be today: Lily Kate gives us insight into how to navigate this hyper feminist world!

Something I’m Loving: Our new remodel! Our home is being transformed, as we speak, but what has been amazing is we decided to build at the speed of cash. We actually sold my car to ensure we would not have to dip into retirement for this remodel. That has made it much more fun to operate!

S3 Ep. 43 Have you ever considered there is a deep level of emotional, mental and physical connection that comes from dancing with your husband? I’m not talking about the Cha Cha Slide at a wedding once a year, I’m talking about frequent partner dancing in your living room. 

To help couples do this, Hunter Masters started Show Her Off to help couples connect and feel closer together, one living room at a time. Show Her Off is a step-by-step dance program for couples. 

Let me tell you. This has been wonderful for my husband and I. There is so much you can learn about your spouse when you dance with them, even if you have been married for over 35 years, like Troy and I!

Learn a few moves, share a few laughs, fall for each other all over again: https://showheroff.com/

Something I’m Loving: My Wave Curling Iron! The curls are similar to a crimper, but a bit more buoyant and effortless. It has been a subtle change and upgrade in my routine that has been very exciting!

Katie is going on 20 years of marriage with her amazing husband, but grab some tea and listen to this real, authentic conversation about marriage, parenting and sacrifice. 

When we see marriage as a tool that refines the woman and man, not a tool for happiness, we can see it clearly. If our husbands were everything we wanted, needed and craved at all times, we wouldn’t have space for Jesus.

S3 Ep. 40 Traditions in a household are fundamentally important for memory-making and foundation building! Traditions create culture in homes, there is no way around it! I grew up in a household with many traditions (such a blessing!) and I wanted to pass on traditions to my children, as well.

Traditions are the things that you do. Rituals are the way you do those traditions! Home culture is the result of that!

As we are nearing the holiday season, I want to encourage you to plan ahead, be intentional and implement traditions that your children will remember forever!

S3 Ep. 39 Hi friends! In this episode, I sat down with my friend Amanda Hayhurst, author of Pray for Him, to talk about the powerful practice of meeting with God each morning to pray for your husband, rather than trying to fix or control him. 

Amanda shares what led her to write her book and opens up about the challenges and beauty of surrendering your marriage fully to The Lord. We dive into the temptations many of us face in our marriages, and how prayer can be the most transformative tool in those heated moments. 

Something I’m Loving: I am loving winding down each evening with my husband over a game of Sudoku! Simple joy, deep connection. I highly encourage all of you to find a small bedtime hobby to do with your husbands for some fun!

S3 Ep. 38 Habits are things we do automatically. Routines are things we develop in our lives. 

“The number one enemy of habits and routines is perfection!” Madeleine Frost, mom of 4 boys under 10 years old, gives us insights into her experience and wisdom as a young mom, who has formed habits and a life that she loves! Routines set our lives in motion, to reach our end goals!

It may seem overwhelming and chaotic to construct routines, but it is so worth it when you construct them around order, beauty and character development!

Something I’m Loving: Hot Drinks and Coffee are SO incredible, but they can be harmful over time. I use Teeccino, my coffee replacement is Dandelion Root that has the same effect as coffee, without the acid!

S3 Ep. 37 In our modern culture, mindset is talked about. A  LOT! 

As women of God, we must go straight to the Bible when we are faced with the pressures and stresses of life.

In this episode, we discuss how to adopt and achieve a mindset that is glorifying the Lord, honoring your husband and inspiring your children! It is easier said than done, but it can be.

Things I am Loving: My night routine with my husband! Do you and your hubby have a night routine that you share? I would LOVE to hear about it!

S3 Ep. 36 Celebrating the big and small wins in a family sets a tone of “being seen.” Even as moms, we desire to be recognized and seen for our efforts. In the same way, children crave to be seen, known and recognized for their accomplishments. For mamas, that can be difficult when you have multiple children and also have a desire to be encouraged.

What if your home became a place where those wins become noticed and celebrated? 

The atmosphere of our homes is not determined by what we can afford to put inside them, it's determined by what we choose to cultivate inside them.

Loved people love people, seen people see people. I want my home to be that place!

Something I’m Loving: My husband and I have a ridiculous night routine, and now it has gotten even more strange. We hang from the pull up bar in our closet and time each other. We aim for 3 sets of 30 seconds. This helps our ninja warrior strength and training! Doing it together is what is the most fun!
