“Happiness is homemade.” It’s cute, right? Maybe it's even hanging on your wall in scripted letters. But Mama… is that what we’re really building? Is our goal happiness? Or is there something deeper, richer, more lasting?
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the difference between happiness and joy—and why one is fleeting, while the other is foundational. We talk about the emotional waves that come with motherhood (💡 hello, chaos), and how we can build homes that aren’t just happy for a moment, but joyful for a lifetime.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to create happiness through pretty pillows, perfect meals, or pristine spaces, this episode is your reminder that joy isn't something we make... it's something we receive when we seek God first. 💜
☕ So grab that tea, turn up the volume while you're driving or folding laundry, and let's talk about building a home that's grounded in joy, contentment, and Christ.
