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. We can have fun things, but not ALL the fun things.

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!

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
