Welcome to episode 113 with Jennifer Pepito and special guest Cleere Cherry Reeves of Cleerely Stated. Cleere and Jennifer talk about declarations, intentional living, creating order, and stewarding the internal atmosphere of our home. This is all about living with margin, ignoring pressures, or could haves or should haves, and prioritising connection over perfection.  Our minds and emotions depend on our words and the stories we allow ourselves to meditate on. We must change our words and our world to better represent the truth of who God says we are and His goodness in our present situation, and He offers us the gift of change through His grace and healing.  This podcast is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

Growing up, we would transition from the regular homeschool schedule during December and move towards crafting, Christmas Cookie exchanges, nature walks, and time reading together as a family. We made clay decorations, popcorn balls, and cranberry garlands.  The wonderful thing about creativity and a creative Christmas is it isn't age or time-dependent. You can make orange garlands with your adult children, bath salts with your grandkids, and clay ornaments with your children.  Episode 112 with Emelie and Jennifer is an excellent expose on Pepito's family Christmas, the joys of creativity, and how economical and accessible it can be!  This great conversation is made possible by the Peaceful Press!
