Send me a text about this episode!

I've got TWO great stories of home for you today! First I am chatting with Maryela Soto-Portillo who has been keeping a home for 15 years. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey, she now makes a home in Florida with her husband, 2 children, and her mother. Maryela works part time, homeschools her children and has dreams of opening a homeschool co-op to help other busy moms make homeschooling work for their families.

Then, I visit with Amanda Faucett who has been keeping a home with husband, James, for 23 years. She just launched her son from the nest and will be launching her daughter in less than 2 years. Amanda and I have a great conversation about living in a somewhat politically divided home. It’s not a topic that comes up often, but it is her experience and she has some great insights to share. I will also be sharing a couple answers from last Monday's question of the week about favorite fiction books and giving you my answer to that question. Enjoy and don't forget to use the chapter markers to hop around and find you place later if you need to listen in more than one go. :) EPISODE LINKS & NOTES Allison's Update, Books Mentioned
