Podcasts about Fun Things

Have you ever walked into your kitchen and felt like it was yelling at you? Overflowing snack bins, forgotten leftovers, and no plan for dinner? I've been there too, and in today's episode, I'm bringing you right into my pantry and basement decluttering journey.We're talking about how simplifying your kitchen and food rhythms can calm the chaos and bring true peace to your days. I'll share my three most powerful resets: clearing your pantry with purpose, creating a flexible meal rhythm, and doing one 30-minute prep session each week.We'll also look at what science says about clutter and stress—and what Scripture reminds us about God's design for peace in our homes. This isn't about perfection—it's about stepping into your calling as a homemaker who nourishes her family, body and soul.Let's walk through this together, one shelf, one bite, and one prayer at a time.

As I've been sorting and decluttering—bags to donate, projects to release, spaces to breathe again—God's been whispering something deeper:Letting go is not just about organizing. It's about obeying.Maybe you're in a season like mine—overwhelmed, surrounded by clutter, and longing for peace.Today, I want to remind you (and myself) that sometimes, the spiritual invitation is hidden right in the middle of a messy room.This isn't about perfection.It's about pausing long enough to hear what the Lord might be asking you to release—and trusting that peace and presence follow.With love,Katie

Have you ever tried to sit down with your Bible or spend a quiet moment with God—only to feel the chaos of your cluttered home crowd out the peace you long for?In today's episode, I'm sharing a small but powerful story from our home that reminded me how physical clutter can block spiritual clarity. We'll look at the research, the scriptures, and the gentle truth that letting go of excess makes space for Jesus, peace, and even physical healing.If you've felt overwhelmed by stuff, distracted in your devotions, or weighed down by your home instead of uplifted by it—this one's for you.Let's explore:How clutter triggers stress in your body and nervous systemWhy a clearer space can help you hear from GodThe biblical mindset shift that helps you release what's no longer neededYou don't need to overhaul your whole house—just start with one space. And as you do, I'll walk right alongside you. ❤️With love and grace,Katie

They are true hobbyists at heart with a menu of things that they enjoy. In this video we hike along the Jack Rabbit Trail near Hayesville North Carolina, talk about what they do for a living, their marriage, their many hobbies and what we discover at the end of they day is that friendship is the ultimate break from the grind.Linkshttps://www.breakfromthegrind.com/

Have you ever sat on the floor, surrounded by keepsakes, and felt like letting go meant giving up on the dreams you once had for your family?This bonus episode, Pouring Out the Heart of It, is a gentle five-minute reflection on what it's really like when decluttering touches the dreams we once held. I'm sharing my honest journey—how moving 19 times with a big family shaped my view of stuff, and how I've learned to let go with peace, stewardship, and trust in God's provision.If you've ever struggled to release items tied to “someday” hopes, this episode is for you. I want this episode to help you tackle real clutter—physical and emotional—so you can let go of items without guilt. My prayer is that it gives you comfort, practical encouragement, and permission to let go.

Have you ever said, “I might need it someday…” or “I just need to organize better…” or felt like you had to declutter your entire home in one overwhelming push?You're not the only one—and those beliefs are lies that keep us stuck.In Episode 304, we're walking through the three most common lies moms believe about clutter, how they quietly sabotage your peace, and the powerful, grace-filled truths that can finally help you move forward. This is real talk for Christian homeschool moms who are tired of being buried in stuff and pressure—and want to start fresh with peace, perspective, and stewardship. You'll walk away with encouragement and practical tools to start letting go—bit by bit, with purpose.

Do you talk mean to yourself too? As if the self-talk wasnt bad enough, some of the most hurtful things we believe about ourselves didn't even come from us. They came from offhand comments, schoolyard shade, or that one person's opinion that we never fully let go of. In this episode, Jayna opens up about some of the things she's told herself as well as things people have said to her. Who would have thought criticism from as far back as elementary school—yes, elementary—could still haunt her mind today and shape how she sees herself, even now. We're diving into the wild ways we self-sabotage: the names we call ourselves, the dreams we talk ourselves out of, and the critiques we treat like truth. But guess what? Just because someone said it doesn't make it real. And just because we've believed it doesn't mean we have to keep believing it. This episode is your invitation to unpack those old stories, rewrite the narrative, and speak to yourself with the kind of love and power you deserve. Afterall, you're not who they say you are, you're who you decide to become. If you're finally ready to serve an eviction notice to your inner critic, then hurry up and press play! iIt's time to take your power all the way back. Let's rewrite the narrative and show the world exactly who we are—unbothered and unstoppable. Listen in as Jayna talks about "spells" others put on us that slow our growth and prevent us from living up to our full potential. She shares lies she was told about herself that she believed and details how they all still affect her to this day.  If you enjoyed this episode and would like to send some love, please click here: Buymeacoffee.com/BigLashEnergy Our not-so-secret goal is to create a tribe of badass women who find beauty in the messiest parts of life.

Ever find yourself cleaning the same corner over and over—only to feel more behind, not better?You're not imagining it. Clutter isn't just stuff—it's a silent stressor. And if you've been feeling foggy, short-tempered, emotionally drained, or overwhelmed no matter how much sleep you get, this episode is for you.In today's kickoff to the Make Room to Breathe series, I'll walk you through how clutter quietly impacts your brain, emotions, and peace—and how I'm gently decluttering one corner at a time, right alongside you. You'll also hear how I'm resetting our home after a heavy caregiving season, and the small shifts that are helping me reclaim calm without pressure.

No, that daily coffee isn't ruining your financial life…..by itself. We love to pigeonhole certain expenses in our life as the ones that are hurting us. Truth is, most probably aren't. It's okay to spend money on fun things like coffess, drinks, clothes, and dining out. There's nothing inherently wrong with buying fun things. However, we can't have ALL the fun things. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the importance of prioritizing our fun spending on things that actually add value to our lives. When we do, these things become blessings instead of burdens.

on their 90th Anniversary!They are a local store in Minneapolis and I am a big fan and I bought some thingsthat I wanted to tell you about.The first one is a product that is made in Minnesota.It's called Pommeau and it is from Milk and Honey.And it is the most delicious like honey apple Brandy liqueur.And what I do with it is I will pair it with whiskey or with rum.So I might have like an ounce and a half of whiskey or an ounce and a half of rumand then an ounce of this and I have it on the rocks andAnd it's just a delightful after-dinnery type drink.So milk and honey, I was out of it.I was happy to see it was back on the stores.Here is a new product that I'm excited about.I got it because it's from Vietnam and I was just there, fun!Song Cai the name of the gin.They had three different kinds of these Vietnamese gins at SurdyksAnd I happened to chat with one of the folks there and they said this one was their favorite.So I have not tried it yet, but can you see how pretty the bottle is inside it?It just looks amazing.So I'm going to go ahead and give this a try.I think I'll, it's floral gins are kind of good with tonic or with club soda.So I'm excited about trying that.I will report back.Something that is not alcohol, but I do have two of those left too.It is Ryze Mushroom CoffeeThis is something that I'm nervous about.Now they say that mushrooms are super good for you.And I absolutely believe that, but Could this product replace like my love of coffee or is it just like another thingto give you more of a wellness supplement?There's 2000 milligrams of mushrooms in here, which is a lot.So what you do with it,and I haven't done it yet,is you apparently take a tablespoon of this and then eight to 10 ounces of hot orcold water and you can ice it if you want to or hot.from 9-11 on MyTalk 107.1 and Ill chat about it with Stephanie March So I'm going to do this in the morning tomorrow before my radio show.It's called Ryse and there's 30 servings in here.It's from Massachusetts and there's 15 calories in a tablespoon.So it's low cal, which is fine, but we'll have to see how I feel about the mushroom coffee.Okay.Also,I got this at Christmas time and Beauty Counter was, all the rageand I don't know all the things that happened,but it was like a woman started the company and then she enlisted all these peopleto sell it and it was a great product.Then someone bought it like an investment company and apparently trashed the company,This product in particular is a Beauty Counter Hydrating Body lotion and it'sbut somehow it's back.This product in particular is a hydrating lotion.Okay, at Surdyks today, they had a wine that is from Croatia.It is called Plavac Bura.It is made with Plavac Mali grapes.It is called Plavac Bura.And it is a very delicious red table wine.And I also noticed it at my friend Leslie's place, Sip Better WinesI got this at Surdyks - I have noticed this at Total Wine too.This is like a $19 bottle of wine and it is fantastic for the value.It is Croatian.You'll find it kind of in the weird section where sometimes the best wines are.But I would like you guys to try this.I just love this wine.Another wine and  I have only found this at Surdyks before.I'm going to be bringing it to a party tomorrow.a,drier fruitier kind of bubbly effervescent type of white,that's not like full on champagne.It's not probably like that, but just has a tiny bubble.A Gruner Vertliner is a good wine for you to try.And this is from Austria, Weingut BrundlmayerI really like the wines that they have from Austria at SurdyksBut when I hear about organics, it makes me happy.So this is something that you would have with like a fish,Or if you're someone that likes a Sauvignon Blanc,but you just want to try something a little bit different,I'd highly recommend this.And then last but not least, La Croix.Okay, right.Everybody loves a good La Croix.I don't really love like the weird little flavors of some of these soda things,but I do like this Limoncello La Croix.It has like a vanilla taste almost to it and a little hint of lemon.It is still no calorie, so it's nothing, but it has some weird sweetener stuff in it.Let's face facts.They put chemicals in these things.I don't know why, but it tastes good.So this is the LaCroix.What I like to do actually,and that's here,is I take one of these cans and a plain can so that it tempers down the flavoring alittle bit, but it still tastes good.And then last but not least, I was on Jason's show today and this darling couple.I ran out of there because I had a meeting.And when I came back, they had left this on my bag of my Jason show things.And it is says taste buds on there.It is adorable, a little embroidered tea towel.As you know, I did a textile, a class at textile center and it was super fun.They have really great classes there.If you are a Minnesota person and you want toget your needling skills going.So you guys, that's it.My first live on Substack.I would like to do more.I'm also considering like maybe another format where I talk with someone else.But if this is something that you liked or you would like to see more of,I could even do like cooking things that are live.I just decided I would try it today since I had the good hair and I was alone withjust little Stanley here tonight.For dinner,we're going to be having the spring roll in a bowl that I made on Jason's showtoday that I marinated some carrots in a fish sauce that I put on my spring roll ina bowl,and it made the entire Fox Studio smell like stinky fish.But it's delicious,and that's what I'm going to be having for dinner tonight with a glass of this white...that I'll be having.And then in the morning, I'm going to try the mushroom coffee so you can tune in.We'll probably talk about it during the top two an hour or two, which is at 10.05 exactly.And if you want to hear what I thought about the mushroom coffee, feel free to tune in tomorrow.Otherwise, have a great weekend.It's supposed to be super nice.I'm very excited about that.I am going to be sitting with my seed catalogs.Planning for some of my seeds because I've got to get things planted.And if you follow along,you know that I garden in a very cold northern place that I only have about 50 to60 days with the seeds to get them to do anything.So I'm going to be getting my seeds going in the next couple of weeks.If you have any early plants like early tomatoes that you recommend or anythingthat you've tried and you want to pass that along,I'm always open to new gardening ideas.Thank you for being here.Thank you for following along on Substack.I started my Substack about a year and a half ago.It is just a joy.I love it.I love spending Sunday mornings writing it.I think about all of your faces and like what recipes I want to share.And it really just gives me joy.So thanks for following along.I hope that you guys have a great night and we'll try and do Substacks again if you like it.Thanks.Bye.Stephanie's Dish Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

Have you ever felt judged or misunderstood for the way you raise your children? Maybe it's because you homeschool, because you're protecting a medically fragile child, or because you're making decisions others don't understand. When people don't walk in your shoes, they can be quick to criticize—sometimes even family or close friends.In today's episode, I want to remind you: You're not alone. This struggle is real, and it hurts. But there is hope, and there is comfort in Jesus. I'll share real examples of these struggles and encouragement for those moments when you feel isolated, unseen, or judged. Let's take a deep breath, cast our cares on Him, and find peace together.XOXO, KatieROAD TRIP MYSTERIES ACTIVITY ADVENTURE BOOK:https://amzn.to/48flUHeFREE COMMUNITY!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupBOOST ENERGY!https://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/peak-energy-activation-stackhttps://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/activation-energy-stackFREE GIFT:10 Secrets To Homeschooling Your High Needs Child(WITHOUT Losing Your Mind)http://herhomeandheart.net/specialneedsMORE GOODIES and FUN THINGS!https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeartherhomeandheart.com

Feeling stretched thin, mama? Between homeschooling, motherhood, and the never-ending to-do list, it's easy to feel exhausted and overwhelmed. But you don't have to stay stuck in survival mode! In this episode, I'm sharing 8 micro habits that have personally helped me reset, reduce stress, and find joy again—even in the busiest, hardest seasons of life.These are the same habits I leaned on while navigating my son's brain surgery, my daughter's medical challenges, and 42 medical appointments in a single month. If they worked for me in the chaos, they can work for you too. 

Have you ever read an inspiring book or listened to a podcast that filled you with motivation—only to feel overwhelmed because you don't think you can apply it to your life? Maybe you've thought, “I'm too busy for that,” or “I'll never be able to pull it off like she did.” I've been there, and today, I want to help you break free from that discouragement. In this quick episode, we'll talk about:  **How to pray for wisdom and guidance when inspiration feels overwhelming**  **The difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset—and why it matters**  **Simple ways to talk to yourself with kindness, just like you would encourage your kids**  **Why failure isn't the end—it's just part of the learning process**  If you've ever felt stuck after hearing an inspiring idea, this episode will give you the tools to move forward with confidence and peace. Let's turn inspiration into action—without the overwhelm!  Blessings,  Katie  ROAD TRIP MYSTERIES ACTIVITY ADVENTURE BOOK:https://amzn.to/48flUHeFREE COMMUNITY!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupBOOST ENERGY!https://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/peak-energy-activation-stackhttps://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/activation-energy-stackFREE GIFT:10 Secrets To Homeschooling Your High Needs Child(WITHOUT Losing Your Mind)http://herhomeandheart.net/specialneedsMORE GOODIES and FUN THINGS!https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeartherhomeandheart.com

Does the idea of having someone over send you into a tailspin of anxiety about the state of your house, your yard, or even what snack you'll serve? I get it—hospitality can feel overwhelming, especially when we're juggling homeschooling, special needs, or just the busyness of family life.But here's the truth: hospitality isn't about perfection. It's about connection. It's about opening your heart to serve others, even when your home—or life—feels far from Pinterest-worthy.Let's refocus on what really matters: loving others as Jesus does.You've got this, Mama!Praying for you always,KatieROAD TRIP MYSTERIES ACTIVITY ADVENTURE BOOK:https://amzn.to/48flUHeFREE COMMUNITY!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupBOOST ENERGY!https://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/peak-energy-activation-stackhttps://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/activation-energy-stackFREE GIFT:10 Secrets To Homeschooling Your High Needs Child(WITHOUT Losing Your Mind)http://herhomeandheart.net/specialneedsMORE GOODIES and FUN THINGS!https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeartherhomeandheart.com
