The Art of Home: A Podcast for Homemakers

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Welcome to Season 21!! Today, I am chatting with seasoned homemaker and mother of 10, Elizabeth Ours, who had the most clever blog name ever back the day, Yes, They are All Ours. Get it? 😁
Married right out of college, Elizabeth has been homemaking for four decades and homeschooled all 10 of her children. She has so much wisdom to share and her joyful attitude is contagious.

I'm also sharing what I'm loving lately on Allison's Update and what to expect this season on The Art of Home.
