Today at the kitchen table, I’m joined by my friend Alex of Love Daphne Mae. Alex is the creator and author of The Way Home and many other resources for mothers and homemakers.

In this episode, Alex and I talk about the heart of homemaking - how it is so much more than a to-do list, and how it’s really about tending souls and spaces with intention, care, and God’s love woven into the ordinary. We also talk about homeschooling rhythms, balancing seasons of life, and the beauty of sisterhood and fellowship in motherhood.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why homemaking is more than tasks, it’s kingdom work.
• Alex’s heart behind her book The Way Home and what you’ll find in it.
• How she created the Morning Collective to anchor her family’s homeschool days.
• The role of fellowship and Titus 2 encouragement in motherhood today.
• A peek inside her recent retreat in the English Countryside - and her announcement of the Spring 2026 retreat.
• Simple ways to weave beauty and gratitude into everyday rhythms.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that beauty can be found in the simplest of moments - lighting a candle, setting the table, or tending to the people God has entrusted to our care.
