Easter Sunday | He Is Risen!! Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 He is risen… He is risen indeed. This is the day that changes everything. In today’s episode, we step into the reality of the empty tomb and what it truly means: ✨ Jesus did not just die—He rose ✨ Death was not delayed—it was defeated ✨ The cross was not the end—it was the beginning The women came expecting death… but found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. And here’s the truth: This is not symbolic. This is not just a story. This is real. Because if the resurrection is true— everything changes. Sin is paid for. Death has no hold. And your salvation is secure. You are not working toward acceptance. You already have it. You are not trying to become clean. You already are. Because the One who paid for your sin… is alive. ✨ Connect with me: @lovelyhomepodcast | [email protected] So today, don’t reduce this to a tradition. This is not just Easter brunch. This is victory. He is risen. And because of Him… you are free.
Holy Saturday | When God Feels Silent: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 6 of the Holy Week Devotional Series. Today is… quiet. Jesus is in the tomb. The disciples are scattered. And heaven seems silent. In this episode, we step into the tension of Holy Saturday and reflect on this truth: ✨ Silence does not mean absence ✨ Waiting does not mean God is inactive ✨ What looks like the end… is not the end Because this is where most of us live— in the in-between. Praying, but not seeing change. Trusting, but not understanding. Waiting… and wondering where God is. But Holy Saturday reminds us: God is still working—even when you can’t see it. And even in the silence, one thing remains true: Friday already happened. The cross still stands. Your salvation is still secure. ✨ Connect with me: @lovelyhomepodcast | [email protected] So today, don’t rush past the quiet. Sit in it. Trust in it. Because Sunday is coming… and you are still held in grace.
Good Friday | It Is Finished: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 This is Good Friday… and there is nothing light about today. This is the day sin is not softened or ignored— it is fully judged. In this episode, you’re invited to slow down and sit with Scripture—walking through the crucifixion, Old Testament prophecy, and the powerful image of the bronze serpent that points directly to Christ. Together, we reflect on: The reality and weight of the cross Why Jesus’ suffering was not random—but intentional What it truly means when He says, “It is finished” How the cross reveals both the depth of our sin… and the depth of God’s love Because this is the truth: You don’t fix yourself first. You don’t earn your way there. You simply look to Him. Just like the serpent lifted in the wilderness— Jesus is lifted up… so that anyone who looks to Him may live. So today, don’t rush past this. Sit in the weight. Sit at the cross. Because of Him… it is finished.
Maundy Thursday | The King Who Kneels — Last Supper & Footwashing: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 5 of the Holy Week Devotional Series. Today, we step into one of the most intimate nights of Scripture— Maundy Thursday. The night Jesus: ✨ Shares the Last Supper ✨ Washes His disciples’ feet ✨ Institutes the Lord’s Supper ✨ Prays in the garden as the cross draws near And at the center of it all… He gives a command: love one another. In this episode, we walk through Scripture to see: How the Passover points directly to Jesus as our true Passover Lamb The beauty of the Lord’s Supper and what it means for us today Why Jesus—King of all—chose to serve in humility The deep, intentional love He shows even hours before the cross Because this night isn’t just about what Jesus did… it’s about what He gives. Grace. Forgiveness. A new covenant.
Holy Wednesday | Faithfulness in the Quiet: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 4 of the Holy Week Devotional Series. Today is quiet… but it’s not insignificant. While nothing outwardly dramatic happens, betrayal is set into motion—and every detail is part of God’s intentional plan. In this episode, we walk through key scriptures to see: ✨ Jesus wasn’t caught off guard—He walked willingly toward the cross ✨ Even betrayal was used for redemption ✨ God works powerfully in the unseen Because most of life doesn’t feel big or meaningful— it feels like dishes, laundry, and quiet obedience. But here’s the truth: Just because it’s unseen doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be perfectly faithful. Jesus already was—for you. So today, you get to show up imperfectly… and still be fully held in grace. You are lovely, and so is your home.
Holy Tuesday | When Truth Confronts, Grace Covers: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 3 of the Holy Week Devotional Series—a sacred invitation to slow down, reflect, and walk closely with Christ on His way to the cross. If Holy Monday revealed Christ’s holiness… Holy Tuesday reveals His authority. In today’s episode, we step into one of the most intense and teaching-filled days of Jesus’ ministry. Standing in the temple, He is questioned, challenged, and tested—but He responds with truth that cuts straight to the heart. Together, we walk through Matthew 21–23 and explore: Why Jesus’ authority threatened the religious leaders The danger of valuing appearance over true faith What the Law reveals about our hearts—and why it’s meant to humble us How Jesus exposes hypocrisy, not to shame us… but to save us This episode carries weight. Because here’s the truth: We cannot love God perfectly. We cannot live up to the standard. And that is exactly the point. ✨ The Law reveals our need for a Savior… and the Gospel reminds us we already have One. Holy Tuesday invites you into a deeper understanding of both: Conviction and comfort. Truth and grace. Authority and redemption. Because the same Jesus who speaks hard truth on Tuesday… is the One who will say “Father, forgive them” on Friday. So today, don’t turn away from conviction—let it lead you to Christ. Sit with these questions: Am I more focused on looking faithful… or being faithful? Where am I resisting His authority in my life? Do I trust Him enough to truly surrender? ✨ Scripture, deep reflection, and prayer included. And remember, lovely… You are not saved by how well you love God— you are saved because Christ already loved Him perfectly for you.
Holy Monday | Jesus Clears the Temple: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 2 of the Holy Week Devotional Series—a quiet, intentional journey toward the cross. If Palm Sunday revealed Christ’s humility… Holy Monday reveals His holiness. In today’s episode, we step into Matthew 21:12–17, where Jesus enters the temple and does something unexpected—He flips tables, drives out corruption, and restores what worship was always meant to be. This isn’t the soft, quiet image of Jesus we often hold. This is a Savior filled with righteous zeal, protecting what is sacred. Together, we explore: Why Jesus cleansed the temple—and what it reveals about God’s heart The danger of turning worship into routine, performance, or transaction How the temple points forward to Jesus as our true dwelling place with God What it means that your heart and body are now His temple And most importantly… What might need to be gently overturned in your own life. This episode is not about fear—it’s about mercy. Because the same Jesus who overturns tables… is the One who goes to the cross to make you clean. ✨ Scripture, deep reflection, personal application, and prayer included. So today, don’t pull away—lean in. Let Him quiet the noise. Let Him cleanse what crowds your heart. Let Him restore your connection with Him. Listen in and walk deeper into Holy Week—one grace-filled step at a time. And remember, lovely… He isn’t removing you—He’s restoring you.
78 | You’re Not Behind: A Grace-Filled Conversation for Newlywed Wives Learning as They Go | Home Managment & Healthy Rhythm for Brides
Hey lovely 🤍 This episode is a little different. It’s not a “how-to.” It’s not a “fix your life in 5 steps.” It’s just… real. In today’s episode, I’m opening up about what it actually looks like to be a new-ish wife still learning, still growing, and still figuring things out day by day. Because here’s the truth no one talks about enough: You don’t magically become “good at marriage” overnight. You don’t suddenly master homemaking, rhythms, or budgeting. And you’re definitely not the only one who feels like they’re falling short sometimes. In this honest, vulnerable conversation, we talk about: The pressure to “have it all together” in your 20s and early marriage Why contentment feels so hard in a culture that constantly pushes for more The reality of messy homes, missed rhythms, and emotional overwhelm A personal story about pride, perfection, and a house that wasn’t ready for guests Why your season of learning is exactly where you’re supposed to be This episode is your permission slip to: ✨ Sit in the silence ✨ Be honest about your growing pains ✨ Let go of perfection ✨ And embrace grace right where you are Because you are not behind. You are not failing. You are learning. And that matters. If you’re a newlywed… a young wife… or simply in a season where everything feels a little messy and uncertain—this one is for you. You don’t need to rush ahead. You don’t need to become her overnight. You just need to take the next step… with grace. 🤍 Want support as you build rhythms that actually work for your life and season?

Palm Sunday | The King We Didn't Expect: Holy Week Spiritual Encourgament For Christian Wives Seeking Rest
Hey lovely 🤍 Welcome to Day 1 of the Holy Week Devotional Series—a sacred, slow walk through the week that changed everything. In today’s episode, we step into Palm Sunday, where Jesus enters Jerusalem not on a war horse, but on a humble donkey… fulfilling prophecy and revealing the kind of King He truly is. Together, we walk through Matthew 21:1–11 and uncover a powerful tension: The crowd cried “Hosanna—save us now”… but they misunderstood how He came to save. This episode will gently guide you to see: Why Jesus chose humility over earthly power The difference between fixing our circumstances vs. our condition How our expectations of God can shape (or strain) our faith What it means to truly surrender control and receive Christ as He is This is not just a history lesson—it’s an invitation. An invitation to lay down your own “palm branches”… your timelines, your plans, your expectations… and trust the Savior who came not just to rescue your situation—but your soul. As we begin this Holy Week journey, let your heart slow down, reflect, and rest in the deep, intentional love of Christ. ✨ Scripture, reflection, application, and prayer included. Hosanna. He has come to save. Listen, reflect, and prepare your heart for the cross this week. And remember, lovely—because of Him, you are already held in grace.

DAY THREE | Your Home: Home Management, Love Languages, Cycle Syncing | Lovely Home Podcast Retreat
In today’s episode of the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat, we are focusing on your home and how to create a home management system that actually works for your real life. If you have ever tried copying someone else’s cleaning routine or homemaking system only to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or like you’re somehow failing, this episode will open your eyes to a different approach. Your home rhythms should not be built on guilt or unrealistic expectations — they should be built on grace, honesty, and understanding how God designed you. In this episode we dive into how your menstrual cycle, energy levels, and love languages can help you create a homemaking rhythm that feels natural instead of exhausting. You will learn how to identify your home “non-negotiables,” how to match cleaning tasks with your personal rhythms, and how to build a system that supports your mind, life, and home. We also walk through the HOME method: Honesty Observe Manage Equip This simple framework will help you begin building a homemaking rhythm that reflects your season of life instead of trying to force someone else's system into your home. You will also learn two different ways to structure your home management system: • syncing home tasks with the four phases of the female cycle • pairing homemaking tasks with your personal love languages By the end of this episode, you will be able to start creating a personalized, grace-filled home rhythm that helps you feel peaceful, capable, and encouraged in your role as a homemaker. This episode is part of the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat, a four-day series designed to help you move from feeling guilt to feeling grace in your mind, life, and home. ✨ In today’s episode we also celebrate the 2nd birthday of the Lovely Home Planner, which is currently 25% off for a limited time.

DAY TWO | Your Life: Rhythms Over Routines, Hormone Based Habits, Female Brain Science | Lovely Home Podcast Retreat
Welcome back to the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat – Day Two! In today’s episode we are diving into God’s design for the female body, the science of habit formation, and why traditional routines often fail women. If you have ever felt guilty for not being able to stick to strict routines, today’s episode will open your eyes to something incredibly freeing. We are exploring how your brain actually forms habits by looking at the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus, and how your emotions, stress levels, and identity all influence whether a habit sticks or fails. Understanding how your brain works can completely change how you approach productivity, homemaking, and daily rhythms. You will also learn about the habit loop (cue → craving → response → reward) and how many popular habit systems were designed around the 24-hour hormonal cycle of men, not the 28-day hormonal rhythm women experience. When we understand this difference, we can stop forcing ourselves into rigid routines and instead create grace-filled rhythms that work with the female brain instead of against it. In this episode we also discuss: • Why women often struggle with rigid routines • How emotional meaning influences habit formation • Why stress and overwhelm can sabotage good habits • How to replace routines with flexible daily rhythms • The “Something Method” for structuring your day • How to build habits that align with your menstrual cycle phases • Creating a Lovely Bank of things that restore joy and beauty in your life You’ll learn how to structure your day around simple pillars like: Something Lovely Something Body Something Helpful Something Holy Something Active These pillars create structure while still allowing freedom and grace in every season of life. We also walk through the four phases of the female cycle and how your energy, motivation, and focus naturally change throughout the month: • Menstrual Phase – slower, reflective rhythms • Follicular Phase – focus and mental clarity • Ovulatory Phase – confidence and social energy • Luteal Phase – preparation and slowing down When you align your habits, home rhythms, and expectations with these phases, you can begin building sustainable habits without guilt, burnout, or overwhelm. Today’s homework question from the retreat: What does your ideal daily thread look like using the “Something Pillar Method”? How could your rhythms shift during the different phases of your cycle? Join the conversation and answer the homework question inside the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat Facebook group, and you’ll also be entered into today’s giveaway. 🎁 Today’s Giveaway: A $50 gift card to Rowe Casa Organics, a toxin-free health and wellness company offering clean home, skincare, and wellness products. ✨ Links Mentioned in This Episode Lovely Home Podcast Retreat Sign Up Book a Lovely Rhythms Call The Lovely Home Planner If this episode encouraged you, it would mean so much if you left a five-star written review on Apple Podcasts and shared this episode with another woman who could use a little more grace and a little less guilt in her mind, life, and home.

DAY ONE | Your Mind: Neuroscience Pathways, Hormones & Grace Focused Transformation | Lovely Home Podcast Retreat
TODAY'S THE DAY!! Day One of the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat, and we are starting by focusing on something incredibly powerful — your mind. In this episode, we explore how God intentionally designed the human brain, the fascinating differences between the male and female brain, and how the thoughts you repeat every day literally shape the neural pathways in your brain. If you have ever felt stuck in negative thought patterns, overwhelmed by guilt, or frustrated by habits that seem impossible to change, this episode will help you understand why your brain works the way it does and how you can begin creating grace-filled pathways that lead to peace instead of pressure. We talk about: • The science behind how women’s brains process emotion and connection • Why women often think in threads rather than boxes • How the 28-day hormonal rhythm impacts your mind and habits • The three major parts of the brain involved in habit formation • How negative thoughts create neural pathways that feel like truth • How to gently rewire your brain with grace instead of guilt • Why your mind is part of the temple of the Holy Spirit You will also learn a simple Mindful Transaction method to help interrupt negative thoughts and replace them with truth rooted in Scripture. This episode is both science-based and Scripture-rooted, helping you understand how God designed your brain and how you can begin renewing your mind in a way that brings more peace, confidence, and grace into your daily life. If you are a Christian wife, homemaker, or woman seeking peace in your mind and home, this episode will encourage you deeply. || LINKS MENTIONED: || ✨ Join the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat ✨ Book a Lovely Rhythms Call ✨ Get the Lovely Home Planner Scripture mentioned Philippians 4:8 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Romans 12:2 Connect with Evelyn Follow along for homemaking encouragement, rhythms, and grace-filled routines.

76 | How to Create a Seasonal Rhythm for Spring Using Your Five Senses | Christian homemaking | Seasonal rhythms | Grace-filled living | Home management | Christian wife encouragement
Hey Lovely! Spring is here, and with it comes the beautiful opportunity to slow down, reset, and create rhythms that help you truly enjoy the season God has placed you in. In today’s episode of The Lovely Home Podcast, we are creating what I call a Spring Rhythm — a simple and grace-filled way to intentionally experience the season instead of letting it fly by. How many times have you said, “I really want to do that this spring,” only to look up and realize the season is already over? Today we’re changing that. Together we walk through a simple exercise that helps you create your own seasonal rhythm using your five senses — sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. By identifying a few small “lovely things” for each sense, you can begin to build a spring season that feels intentional, joyful, and life-giving. Instead of chasing perfection or rigid routines, this episode will help you embrace grace over guilt, slow down, and focus on the small moments that make your home and life feel lovely. We also talk about how to turn your seasonal ideas into real moments on your calendar, how to connect your rhythms to your current season of life, and how to enjoy the everyday gifts God has placed right in front of you. If you’re a Christian wife or homemaker who wants to feel more peace, beauty, and intention in your home, this episode will encourage you and give you practical steps you can start today. | And don’t forget — the Lovely Home Podcast Retreat is happening this week! From March 11–14, we’re diving into how to create rhythms that work for your mind, body, and home, all rooted in grace and God’s design. The retreat will end with a special Zoom Bible Study, where we will explore what Scripture says about the way God designed our minds, habits, rhythms, and homes. //Retreat Sign Up// 🌿Sign Up Here!! //Sourdough Discard Cookie Recipe// 🌿Click Here!! //Want the Planner?// 🌿Get her Here! // Want a Coaching Call??// 🌿Book One Here!!

74 | Homemaking Lessons from 1861: How Homes Were Made Lovely in History vs Now | Grace Filled Encouragement from Homemakers of the Past
Hey lovelies 🤍 In today’s episode, we’re stepping back into the year 1861 to explore what homemaking looked like then—and why that history can actually comfort (and challenge) us as Christian homemakers today. I’m sharing insights from *Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management* and a few other historical homemaking writings that highlight something our modern world often forgets: homes were never meant to be managed in isolation. Many households relied on shared work, neighborly support, and clear roles—while today we’re often told we should be able to carry everything on our own (and look “put together” while doing it). In this episode, we talk about: • What’s surprisingly timeless: stewardship, responsibility, hospitality, and wisdom in daily life • What’s changed: community, expectations, and the pressure to be “perfect” • How to check our motivation: am I trying to impress the world—or serve God with a grace-filled home? • Why asking for help is not failure (it’s realistic and often faithful) • A gentle nudge to use your lovely things now—not someday • Practical “conservation” rhythms that protect your strength: forethought, simplicity, and finishing one task before starting another We also laugh a little at the old-fashioned quotes, reflect on honoring our husbands with our words, and end with a simple invitation: if you’re longing for community, take one small step today and reach out to someone. Books mentioned: • Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management • A Housewife Writes: What Our Grandmothers Can Teach Us About Making a Home (Amalia Clemen + Laurie Aaron Hird) • The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder WOULD YOU RATHER: Would you rather travel to the past or the future? 🤎 Leave your answer in a review, send me a message on Instagram, or email me—I truly love hearing from you.

This is a hybrid method using recipe cards + Pinterest, and it’s designed to be simple, fast, and sustainable. We’re talking: How to choose your “core” 10–15 go-to recipes How to organize them into categories (dinner, breakfast, lunch, snacks) How to use cookbooks without flipping forever And my favorite hack: writing a recipe link on the back of a card so you can scan it with your phone and jump straight to the recipe (no endless Pinterest scrolling!) If you want to give this method a try, here’s what you’ll need: note cards, a pen, a recipe box (optional), a Pinterest account, your phone, and your cookbooks.

72 | How to Have Quiet Time Without Guilt & Grace Filled: A Conversation With Kate Sheets From Selah Publications | Intentionality | Rest | Rhythms for Christian Women
Hey lovely 🤍 In today’s episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, I’m joined by a very special guest: Kate Sheets, the owner and founder of Selah Publications—a faith-based paper goods brand creating the most beautiful planners, journals, devotionals, and quiet-time companions for women who want to spend intentional time with the Lord. This conversation is for the Christian woman who feels like her quiet time “has” to look a certain way—a perfect morning routine, a candle, a set schedule, uninterrupted silence… and then the guilt hits when real life doesn’t cooperate. Kate and I talk about how to release that pressure and instead build grace-filled rhythms that invite God into your whole day—whether you’re a mom with littles, in a busy season, or simply feeling overwhelmed by hustle culture. We discuss: Why beauty matters to women (and why it’s not vanity) How faith-based journals can feel like a “date with Jesus” (so you actually want to pick them up) A guilt-free approach to quiet time rhythms, including the SOAP Bible Study Method How to practice intentionality instead of hustle What to do when you feel lost, overwhelmed, spiraling, or out of control The powerful question: “What is my unmet desire?” The spiritual and practical encouragement of “Selah”—pausing with God and finding peace in the waiting If you’ve been craving rest, clarity, Christian encouragement, a slow-living mindset, and practical ways to stay close to Jesus throughout the day, this episode is for you.

71 | Boxes vs. Threads: Why Women Need Rhythms (Not Rigid Routines) | Healthy Habits | Creating Habits | Overwhelmed Wife to Grace Filled Bride | How to Make a Routine Stick
Hey Lovely, If you’ve ever tried to “get on a routine” only to feel discouraged the moment you miss a step… this episode is for you. In today’s conversation on the Lovely Home Podcast, Evelyn breaks down rhythms vs. routines—why they aren’t the same, and why so many women feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and guilty while genuinely trying their best. We’ll blend science, structure, Scripture, and practical homemaking help in a way that feels clarifying (not heavy). You’ll learn why many popular habit systems were designed with a more linear, “box-based” approach—and why a woman’s brain often operates more like a connected thread. Then we’ll build a simpler, sustainable alternative: pillars—broad categories that guide your day without demanding perfection. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: The difference between a fixed routine and a flexible rhythm Why “missing one step” can trigger guilt—and how to break that cycle How to create your own rhythm using 3 simple pillars (and expand later) Evelyn’s morning rhythm pillars: Something Lovely, Helpful, Active, Body, Holy A brain-based look at habits: prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus Biblical encouragement for discipline without shame (including Isaiah 41:10, Hebrews 12:11, Romans 12:2) A special encouragement for newlywed brides and seasoned wives: you don’t have to prove perfection—you can rest in grace If you’re ready to build a home life that feels supportive instead of suffocating, press play—and grab your planner, a journal, a pen, and something cozy to sip.

69 | Messy Kitchen? Lovely Rhythms and Organizing Tips to Help You Feel More Grace and Less Guilt in Your Kitchen | Manage Your Kitchen Like a Homemaker Boss
Hey, lovely 💛 Welcome back to the Lovely Home Podcast—where we trade grace over guilt and learn how to create rhythms that actually work for your real life, your real brain, and your real home. In today’s episode, we’re diving into kitchen rhythms and routines—but not in a “perfect countertops” kind of way. We’re talking about building a lovely, lived-in, guilt-free kitchen that serves you and your family with more peace, better flow, and less stress. You’ll start with a simple but powerful 5-senses reset to help you look at your kitchen with “lovely eyes” (even if there are dishes in the sink). Then we walk through four practical questions that will help you understand your kitchen better—and finally create changes that stick: What’s the chaos? (What’s frustrating, stressful, or constantly piling up?) What’s the calm? (What’s already working well—habits, systems, or set-ups that bring peace?) What goes? (What are 3 things you can literally remove to free up space and mental load?) What flows? (What physical items make your kitchen function better?) I also share my real-life “kitchen pain points” and the exact solutions I’m using—like my pausing station, writing sweet notes with dry erase markers on the fridge, my drink drawer, and the absolute game-changer: Slow Cooker Sunrise (a genius habit that helped me wake up earlier, meal prep effortlessly, and feel more present in my mornings). We’ll also touch on the brain science behind clutter—how a messy environment can increase stress and make it harder for your prefrontal cortex to function well, while your amygdala flares and your hippocampus struggles (hello, brain fog). And we’ll ground it all in Scripture as we talk about building your home with wisdom and living in a way that honors God. If you’ve ever thought: “Why is my kitchen always messy?” or “Why can’t I be good enough at keeping it clean?” this episode is your gentle-but-practical reset to stop attacking your temple and start building a kitchen rhythm with confidence—because you’re the boss of your kitchen. And yes… we also end with a spicy Would You Rather Bible question that will absolutely make you pause and think.

My favorite weekly layout details: an Extra Notes page every single week two weekly journaling prompts (home + mindset/habits) a Lovely To-Do’s page for your brain dump + prioritizing what actually matters the half-page Meal Plan + Shopping List that you can rip out and take to the store (and stick on the fridge!) Why the planner is undated on purpose (so you can pick it up without guilt, no matter your season) The hidden goodies: QR code “easter eggs,” a course at the beginning, and a little surprise at the end My two favorite dated planner recommendations: Selah Publications (stunning, Christ-centered, lays flat, ribbon bookmarks, gold foil edges) Horacio Printing (exquisitely durable, a full unboxing experience, course + stickers, layout options) And yes… we talk pricing and the new year sale: The Lovely Home Planner is now $30 Use code NEWYEAR26 for 26% off (and it applies to anything on the site!)

67| Habits I’m Leaving in 2025 VS What I’m Bringing Into 2026 + New Year NOT New You Encouragement | Slow and Cozy living | Mindful Christian Wife | New Year Resolutions | New Year Goal Setting
Hey lovely — welcome back to The Lovely Home Podcast! I’m your host, Evelyn, and I’m here to help you refocus on grace over guilt in your mind, life, and home as a Christian homemaker. In today’s first “official” episode of 2026, we’re doing a fresh-start check-in the grace-filled way: habits I’m leaving in 2025 and habits I’m bringing with me into 2026. We talk about realistic homemaking rhythms (not perfection), how clutter and overwhelm affect your brain, and the simple shifts that can help you feel more calm, focused, and “back to yourself” when you walk in the door. Inside this episode, I share: The habit I’m officially breaking: letting my bathroom sink become a clutter catch-all A habit I’m keeping: creating and protecting a “Place of Peace” (a spot that’s just for restoration, hobbies, Bible study, and feeling like you) The habit I’m leaving behind: using my Place of Peace as storage (no more “I’ll deal with that later” piles!) A brand-new rhythm that’s helping my nervous system: my Pausing Station (a quick reset moment when I get home so I stop doom scrolling and stop tossing clutter everywhere) A mindset shift I’m practicing this year: cleaning before things “look dirty” (especially counters and high-touch spaces) Then we wrap with a sweet, Christ-centered encouragement for the new year: it’s a new day and a new year… but not a new you. The world says “new year, new you,” but we’re leaning into the peace of knowing your identity is already held by God — and you are loved, known, and covered by grace. I also read Matthew 6:26–30 as a reminder that you don’t have to carry the pressure of perfection into this year. And to end our episode, we kick off the first Would You Rather of 2026 from a lovely listener: Would you rather have a perfectly clean house but no quiet time… or plenty of peaceful quiet time but a house that’s always a little messy?

Hey Lovely — it’s basically 2026, and if the internet is already making you feel behind… we’re not doing that here. In today’s episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, we’re preparing for the new year with grace-filled homemaking, Christian encouragement, and a simple reflection framework that helps you reset your mind, life, and home without the guilt spiral. I’m sharing my easy-to-remember acronym "RHYTHMS"—seven anchored questions to help you release pressure, honor God’s expectations (not man’s), notice what’s already working in your home, and identify the stress points that are trying to tell you something. We talk through real-life examples (including the measuring cups drama 🤍), why “tension” in your home is often a systems problem, not a character problem, and how to create tiny rhythms that support your energy, faith, and family—like my new “pausing station” that has been saving my kitchen island. We’ll also dive into what “lovely” actually means (hint: it’s exquisitely beautiful, and it looks different for every woman) and end with my favorite question of the entire episode: If grace were the foundation of your homemaking in 2026… what would you change? Plus, we wrap up with a hilarious listener-submitted Would You Rather that will absolutely make you laugh. 😂 In this episode, you’ll learn: How to reset for the new year without “do more / try harder” energy The RHYTHMS acronym for a grace-centered home refresh How to spot your home’s “tension points” and what they’re really saying A faith-rooted way to define a “lovely home” without comparison A simple rhythm that helps your nervous system settle when you walk in the door How to bring God into homemaking as everyday worship (Deuteronomy 6:4–9) LINKS LINKS LINKS: Snag your lovely home planner and use code "CHRISTMAS25" BEFORE January 1st!!

58 | 10 Lovely Things I Learned This Summer | Summer Time Recap | Product Recommendations | Embarrassing Stories
Recording from Harrisburg, PA, I’m sharing 10 lovely lessons summer taught me—from realizing I’m not the main character (Jesus is), to practicing presence, laughing through a cringe-y voicemail, falling for pickleball and the beach, and simple rhythms like a car catch-all bin, the SOAP Bible study method, and an “Everything Notebook.” Consider this your grace-filled reset as we step into fall: less guilt, more peace, and practical little swaps (yes, even toothpaste!) that make everyday life lovelier.

57 | How About Some Jesus? How the Story of Saul to Paul Can Encourage the Modern Christian Wife | Spiritual Encouragement | Christian Podcast
This week's episode was one I felt that I needed to make, even though it doesn't match our normal theme of talking about rhythms and routines in our lovely homes. Last week was a very emotional week for not only me, but for our world as well. So many dark things have happened in life, many dark things aren't even being brought to life, but I think after hearing one bad thing after another on the news a lot of people cracked. This episode is not a political one. So please know that if you are not wanting to hear political opinions, you are safe with this episode. For the majority of the episode I discuss the life of Paul. I have been reading Colossians, and after the events that were brought to light and shared / heard around the world, I was able to read Colossians in a way I have never read before. I pray that this episode encourages you and motivates you to dive deep into the word of God. I pray that HIS voice will be far louder than mine. I think a lot of us have been experiencing a wake up call. A wake up call that I'm calling a Spiritual nudge. I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode, as well as get to know you more as a sister in Christ, so please feel free to reach out via email: [email protected] The piano at the end of the music was produced and composed by me. I don't know what exactly I'm supposed to say, but please don't steal it. Please forgive the annoying puppy dog sounds you may be hearing through your earphones. Ember wanted to say hello... a lot. You are lovely, and so is your home and you are a good person. Jesus Loves You.
