This week's episode is part one of my conversation with KJ Messick! KJ is a wife, mother, and missionary with Circuit Riders living in southern California. In our conversation, she shares how she came to know Jesus during her college years in a deeper way, as well as how the Holy Spirit led her into full-time vocational ministry. KJ also shares how she met her husband, Chip, and the ways that God walked them through conflict in early marriage. Next week, we'll return for part two of this conversation where you'll hear her daughter Frankie's birth story!

Today's conversation is with the lovely Eden Blackburn! Eden is a wife, creative, and soon-to-be mother living in Birmingham, Alabama. In this episode, she shares about her upbringing as a missionary kid in Costa Rica, as well as what transitioning back to life in the states was like for college years later. Eden also walks us through how she discovered she loved creating, specifically in the areas of graphic design and photography. Toward the end, she opens up about miscarriage and pregnancy.

If you're considering signing up for the April retreat in Rosemary Beach, Florida, this will give you a picture of what that time will look like! Even if you're not planning on joining us this spring, I believe you'll still be encouraged by our conversation.

Today's conversation is with my "real life" friend, Mia DiMare! Mia and her family live in Florida where her husband attends seminary and she stays at home raising her two toddlers. In this episode, you'll hear Mia share her love for English interiors and how she is creating a beautiful home one thrift store at a time. Going deeper, she reflects on the struggles of building community at church in the early days of marriage, as well as what life looks like in their current season with her husband Stephen in seminary. Mia then shares how God led her to ultimately give up her career as a traveling wedding photographer in order to stay at home with her kids and support her husband in this current season. I'm personally grateful for Mia's friendship and wisdom, and I'm honored to share her story and introduce her to you!

This week's conversation is with returning guest Alexandria Smith! Alex is a wife and mother to four living on a farm in South Carolina. In today's episode, I pick Alex's brain on a number of things, including what it looks like to establish rhythms as a family, how to feed our families well, and how she approaches clothing her children, especially since she has both boys and girls. We also touch on how she spends time with Jesus throughout the day as a homeschooling mother to four. This episode is very practical, and I hope that the tips and stories she shares will leave you feeling inspired to try something new in your home!

MERCH UPDATE: Crewnecks are available for pre-order for one week only, starting 10/25 and ending 11/1! You can pre-order yours here: https://loveinacottage.com/
