Monday Motivation #5 | The Enemy of Home

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.We all desire a peaceful, fruitful home where everyone feels loved, valued and welcome. We can all think of things that hinder or even hijack that goal, but the most sneaky enemy of home may be lurking in the dark corners of our own hearts. In today's Monday Motivation I share a story about this enemy of home involving a close encounter of the natural kind. In keeping with the discovery and nature theme, I'm sharing my favorite apps for identifying the animals, plants and bugs around your home and neighborhood. I also share a couple of listener comments and a tip from the AoH Mail Bag.EPISODE NOTES & LINKSQuestion of the Week: How do you keep sheets smelling fresh in the linen closet?
