I praise Lisa for beautifying our home, and encourage others to do the same. I consider how lies have consequences in the public square, Jacob receiving another blessing from Isaac, the consequences of Lot's failures and the devil's bargain with relativism.

On a new Teachers' Lounge podcast -- we all want to eat good food and we all want to live in a beautiful home. So, when you teach Food and interior design like Katey -- it's not that hard to make the lessons feel relevant.

Welcome back to another episode of The Mama Village! I'm your host, Ellen, and today, we have a deeply moving and enlightening episode that I'm excited to share with you. Our guest, Nina, opens up about her incredible journey through two very different pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. In this episode, Nina takes us through her first birth, a hospital experience that left her feeling disempowered and disconnected from her own body. She gets real about the anxiety she faced during pregnancy and postpartum, and how these struggles were intertwined with a sense of not feeling safe from childhood. Nina describes how, in her first birth, she placed her trust in the hospital system rather than in herself, leading to a series of events that felt more like a breach of her personal space and autonomy. From the separation of her baby immediately after birth, lack of informed consent, and the lack of proper care during stitches, Nina's story is a testament to the urgent need for respect and dignity in maternity care. Nina's second birth was a complete turnaround—a beautiful, empowering home birth that completely transformed her experience. She describes how she embraced the trust in her body and her baby, creating a birth environment that honoured her wishes and her values. With her supportive midwives and the loving presence of her husband, Nina's second birth was marked by a profound sense of respect and connection. Her baby was placed on her chest immediately, and she experienced birth without pain—a stark contrast to her first experience. This second birth was a moment of healing and empowerment for her entire family. Nina's bravery in advocating for herself and her mental health is inspiring. Her journey through these two births highlights the importance of listening to our instincts, the power of self-advocacy, and the transformative nature of a birth experience that truly respects and honours a mother's wishes. Join us as we dive into Nina's heartfelt story, exploring the highs and lows, and discovering the incredible growth she experienced through her two very different births.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm so excited about today's episode. Today we're talking about how to decorate your home (when you're not a professional home designer). Decorating a home can feel challenging because there are so many different components to consider, but, like most things in life, there are some guidelines we can follow to help make things a little bit easier!  To walk us through this, I invited a Girls Night favorite back on the show and that's my dear friend and home design enthusiast, Myquillyn Smith. Myquillyn, also known on social media as “The Nester,”  believes every home has a silver lining. She's created a beautiful home in 15 different houses and she loves teaching how to create beauty in imperfect circumstances. She recently wrote a book called, House Rules: How to Decorate for Every Home, Style, and Budget. In it, she shares 100 universal decorating truths that apply to every house. One of my favorite rules that she shares is, “you can't ruin something you already hate” — more about that in the episode!  This episode inspired me to look at my home through a new lens and I hope it does the same for you!

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Denise. Denise is a mama of one from Arizona USA. She is a stay at home mom and an Airbnb host. After watching The Business of Being Born by Ricki Lake, her now husband told her, even before they were married or thinking of having babies, that they should home birth. And Denise became fascinated by pregnancy and birth by listening to The Natural Birth Podcast, which led her to make the decision to birth at home with the support of her husband, doula and midwife. Denise ended up having a beautiful home birth, however her placenta wasn't coming out and by the 3rd hour she and her birth team made the decision to transfer to hospital. She was feeling fine and there was no emergency, but they decided they wanted the help to birth the placenta. Because of the preparation and education Denise had done she could stand up to the OB and be empowered in her decision making in the hospital and felt empowered about her birth even though it didn't unfold exactly as she'd hoped. A natural birth doesn't always mean an empowered birth and a medicalized birth doesn't mean its traumatic. It's about feeling empowered and in charge of the decisions about your body, baby and birth. And only education as well as the inner work can truly prepare you for the unknown that is birth. Something Denise highly recommends to all first time mamas. Curious about Denise?

The highest level of adulting might just be creating a space that feels welcoming and reflects your personal style. But let's be honest, that's easier said than done, especially with the limitations of budgets and rental units. Our homes should be a source of comfort and inspiration — after all, our spaces have a real impact on our wellbeing. We're on a mission to create our own personal oasis without breaking the bank, so we called in our friend, and the budget-friendly decor guru herself, Alexandra Gater. Alexandra is a stylist and home decor expert who specializes in accessible home decor advice for renters and anyone working with a smaller budget. She started her design career as the home editor for Chatelaine Magazine, where she launched the popular YouTube series, The Home Primp. She's since hosted the HGTV series Buy or DIY, and her work has appeared in brands like Apartment Therapy, Domino Magazine, Architectural Digest, The Rachel Ray Show, and the Global Morning Show. She just launched her STUNNING book Own Your Space, which offers room-by-room decorating tips for renters and homeowners. Join us as we chat about:Alexandra's journey to becoming a design legendThe easiest, most budget-friendly ways to make a big impactHow to figure out your personal design aestheticAlexandra's go-to products to spruce up a spaceAdvice for renters on making big changes and navigating landlordsEasy and temporary DIYs to tryChoosing unique and affordable artDealing with differing design styles with your partnerWe hope this episode inspires you to make your home your own, because you deserve the space of your dreams!For show notes and more adulting tips, visit: teachmehowtoadult.caSign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultmedia @yunggillianaire@cailynmichaanFollow Alexandra:youtube.com/@AlexandraGater@alexandragaterBuy Alexandra's book: Own Your SpaceMentioned in this episode:Ikea Couch CoversPeel &  Stick Floor TilePeel & Stick Backsplash Subway TilePeel & Stick Backsplash Hexagon Tile

Author and philosopher of contemporary living, Alexandra Stoddard has published 28 books since she began in 1974. Continuing to be a source of wisdom, inspiration and sharing through how she lives that curiosity and forever being a student of life elevates our lives regardless of age, she joins me in a special episode to talk about her life's work. Our conversation of more than 75 minutes covers a wide breadth of content that she has written about over the years, and it's all grounded in how to live well, cultivating happiness and contentment, mindfully living in the present moment and how that daily practice changes for the better so much about all that we cannot control in daily life. From discussing the importance of rituals, to living a life grounded in paying attention to what our senses observe as well as how one can have a happy death as she speaks fondly of her late husband to whom they shared a loving marriage for over 40 years, we talk about many of the topics that are fundamental components to living a simply luxurious life, a life of true contentment. I do hope you tune in and hear the enthusiasm and genuine love of life Alexandra Stoddard embodies and no doubt will inspire in listeners to do the same in their own lives.

Fixing damage to your beautiful home. This month we talk about a secret of how to repair internal damage to your home.  The scuffs, chips, stains and dents which take the shine off the pride you have for your home refurbishment project. The honest fact is - things get damaged, either during the building process or just in life from living in the house!  Most people - including people who work in construction, don't realise there are magical specialists such as Foreman snags, who can come in and repair those problems, taking away that thing which makes you miserable each time you see it. Luke, The owner of Foreman Snags (https://foremansnags.com/) talks about the kind of repairs he and his team can do, when to use them and how to plan and cost for this work - so you know when to rip out and replace - and when to save time money and the planet... and repair. He talks about a project with a chandelier and, as promised, here is a link to it.   So if you are a proud home owner and have damage to interior elements which are getting you down, don't dispart but do do something about it! Please like and subscribe to this podcast if you would like to find out how to Design and Build your happy dream home.

Do you wish there was a fabric that met your busy family's exact needs? Maybe there is … but no one took the time to explain it to you! I have found that very few furniture salespeople understand the difference in fabric constructions. And even fewer take the time to explain them in a way that helps you come to an informed buying decision. It can lead to future frustration and regret. The words “performance fabric” get thrown around a lot. But what do they really mean? That is the very reason I am so excited to have Fabric Expert Extraordinaire, Heather Raibold-Hill as a guest on the In Her Eyes podcast. The right fabrics can transform the way you get to live in your home! Matching your fabric needs to your family's needs and your personal design aesthetic is the secret to creating a lovable and liveable home that stands the test of time! How things look is only half of the design puzzle. The secret to creating a home that you love is making informed choices. Determining what serves your needs, and the needs of your family in each individual space. Heather Rabold-Hill has been in the design industry for nearly 3 decades. With a background in History, she is both an educator and a storyteller in the way she weaves fabric choices into her work. With extensive experience in fabric workrooms, at both Calico Corners and the luxury home furnishings store, Sheffield's; Heather learned firsthand how different fabrics work in different applications. As a representative for a variety of designer exclusive fabric and wallpaper suppliers, Heather is passionate about educating her customers so they can stay at the forefront of product technology to make the best possible choices for their design clients. She is currently a regional sales rep for Stout Fabric a 4th generation fabric supplier in Pennsylvania. In this episode, we explain exactly what it means when a fabric is called a Performance fabric. How they have evolved through the years Which ones should be used for which situation Each of the different types and the process involved in creating them And THE EXCITING NEW FABRICS ON THE HORIZON! Fabric is the one of the best examples of the phrase, “Necessity is the Mother of Invention.” And on the subject of motherhood, Heather talks about the influence that being in the design industry had on her 2 amazing (and amazingly different) daughters. Including the lessons and gifts that they will take with them into adulthood. Great design means there is a place for everything, and everything in it's place. And there is a perfect fabric to create the look and feel you desire to create. It's just getting the facts straight! Get a glimpse behind the scenes of what goes into a beautifully designed space!

Mix the high and low: -Don't be afraid to splurge and save! Every room should have an eclectic mix of both. - Estie loves Chairish for fabulous vintage finds.  Adele loves her vase from H & M and her daughter's dresser from Ikea.  Paint: - -Paint is the easiest thing to change.  -Make sure you always try a sample on a blank canvas with no color such as a white cardboard. - Always check your samples in morning, afternoon and evening light.  Here are a couple colors to try: Dove White by Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist by Benjamin Moore Skimming Stone by Farrow & Ball Dance of the Goddesses by Valspar Wevet by Farrow & Ball Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball White Opulence by Benjamin Moore Backdrop by Modern Love Click here to see a picture of Estie's mouldings.

How can you start to love the home you live in? Why is furniture so expensive? How important is color in a room, and how do I discover what colors I like--and where I like them? How about windows, lighting, plants, art? Phew, that's a lot. Design is expensive and time consuming, yet our homes exert an influence on us every moment of every day. To do design well, however, if you don't hire somebody, it takes a lot of strategy.Donna Hoffman, having already helped over 100,000 "Design Divas" through her courses and community, is here to educate you. In this interview, she makes Matthew a "design divo" by taking him through the fundamental strategies and logic of design.

I have been watching on social media where house flippers and DIYers have been taking some stunning homes and quite frankly ruining them with brick stains and chalk paint. You see this on some of the HGTV shows and I am seeing more and more of it on social media. Some of these projects have been cheered on by people that just love to put that stuff everywhere. The issue as I see it... is that you took a nice original house with some beautiful architectural details and ruined them...while damaging your homes value at the same time. Lets talk about remodeling and updating without damaging your homes value and keeping it architecturally significant.

Hey mama! This episode is so near and dear to my heart! I get to interview my good friend and fellow mompreneur, Kelly Butler. We worked together in corporate world for many years and now get to be friends and masterminds as we build our businesses! There’s a rising tide of women who are thinking differently about where their stuff comes from, and how they’re impacting social change with the things they buy - specifically for their homes.  That’s where Kelly Butler comes in.   Kelly lives a double life in corporate America and as a passionate founder of Gratify Home.  She gets out of bed in the morning to inspire women to create meaningful beauty in their homes while uplifting people and planet.  She works with women who are curious about buying ethically for their homes and want to learn how to create a home they love that aligns with the values they care about most.   She loves the challenges of working with women who feel overwhelmed with comparison of their homes, who feel that decorating their home just flat out takes too much time, who find it hard to locate ethical options that meet their budgets, and who don’t want to figure it out all on their own. After spending 30 days in India, walking the poorest slums in Mumbai on a mission to re-imagine the strategy of an education nonprofit,  Kelly became obsessed with sustainable business models. When she returned to her home in Atlanta, she knew that she would never be the same again.  After some soul searching (and maybe a few ugly crying sessions), she began to get clarity. As a lover of interior design, Kelly researched how she could decorate her home while making positive impacts.  But, to her surprise, the searches came up empty...she just couldn’t find a voice out there around ethical interiors to share the information she needed - so she created it herself. Now, Kelly authors the Gratify Home blog focused around ethical interiors and works with select clients one on one with ethical room eDesign.  She’s launching a beta program, the Ethical Chic Home Academy, to educate women on how to kickstart the redesign of their spaces while aligning with the values they care about most.   Kelly is mom to two fantastic sons, ages 15 and 12, and married to high school sweetheart, Jeff.  Her family lives in Roswell, Georgia with their miniature dachshund, Blue.

Considering Selling in 2017: Click here for a Free Price EvaluationConsidering Buying in 2017: Get Gateway Access to the MLSToday, I’d like to talk to you about a very special property. Architectural Digest chose the most beautiful home from each of all 50 states, which you can take a look at here, and this property was actually named one of the most beautiful homes for sale in Illinois. I’m proud to announce that I’m representing this gorgeous home in Barrington Hills.

http://stellarrealtynw.blogspot.com/ (My situation was unique because we were relocating from Alaska, where we had been for 32 years, to Oregon, a state that we had never even visited. I needed to find a real estate agent that I could trust since I was not going to be in state for the process. I had started getting on websites to look at places so I had emailed a few Realtors and my Realtor at Stellar Realty was the first to respond. We had talked back and forth several times and I could just tell that he was genuine human being and he was there to help me. He was fantastic! We’re currently working with another Realtor for my house in Alaska and there is no comparison. I’ve had some issues with my Alaskan Realtor where I have had to make some corrections on forms and things that really should be a real estate agent doing them. I know I don’t have to worry with my Realtor at Stellar Realty, he was just a friend throughout the process as well as an agent. I have visited once and we looked at a couple locations and during that time he got to know who I was, what I was looking for, and what my family liked. He asked questions at each house to see what we liked and didn’t like about each of them so he could get an idea of what we wanted because he knew that he’d be on his own until we found a place. I had told him 5 or 6 things that we needed to have in the house and the place we ended up buying had every single feature plus some! The house ended up closing within 3 days and he had to rush over to check it over and then over the weekend we had to put in a bid. He was just always there for us. If I ever had a questions, he would get back to us within 20 minutes which I really appreciated. He got us the deal that allowed us to get this beautiful home in a wonderful location and we couldn’t be happier with the way everything turned out. I would definitely recommend him. I felt comfortable being twenty five hundred miles away in the process of renovating a house I had for sale while packing a moving van without having a nervous breakdown. I went through the worst scenario and it was just a pleasure to work with Stellar Realty!) Stellar Realty NW Serving Greater Portland & Tri-County Areas Info@StellarNW.com
