Dana K White, the creator of A Slob Comes Clean, and author of many books on how to go from chaotic and cluttered brings such a unique perspective to Episode 126 of the Restoriaton Home.

At the core of her message is the gospel truth that being clean and tidy doesn't bring you any closer to God, and being messy and chaotic doesn't push you farther away from Him. As Dana says: this isn't an excuse to have a messy house, but it should remove shame and remind us that nothing we do or don't do can add or detract from God's love for us and presence in our lives. 

As we deal with the shame around whatever perceived lack we are operating in, we can begin to build those small habits and changes that will transform our external world to be more orderly, peaceable, and pleasant to be in. Dana's website, books, and Instagram are full of simple, gentle ways to start transforming your life one small piece at a time. 

God is not in a rush with our process and neither should we be.

Chelsi Jo Moore, creator of the Systemize Your Life podcast, joins Jennifer Pepito for episode 125! As I have gotten older, I have realised more and more that the best parts of my life come from some automated back process and that having systems gives me time for what I love. But sometimes, knowing what system to create or how to start can be overwhelming! Chelsi Jo has made it her business to help moms maximise productivity through improved efficiency so that more of our mental space is free to connect with our children, build our dream business, or pursue our dream hobby. 

We hope you walk away from this conversation inspired, invigorated, and ready to shape your life rather than be shaped by it.

At the Peaceful Press, we receive so many questions on how to homeschool your child through high school. High school is the last step before how we taught our children and what we taught them is really tested. Increased requirements and laws governing high school can also make it seem like too bit an endeavour to undertake at home or like our children are going to miss out on an essential part of a high school education. With these additional internal and external pressures, it is easy to abandon a living education and dump our teens into the grind of traditional high school test taking. 

It doesn't have to be that way though, and test taking does not equal an education. Join Jennifer Pepito and her 27 years of homeschool experience and 6 high school graduates as she walks you through motivation to keep homeschooling and what to plan for in highschool. There is no size fits all, but we hope this episode inspires you to find the size that fits well for your family.
