  • "Children are born persons." Charlotte Mason

    Jennifer has been parenting since the 90s, and she and Scott's research and parenting styles have run the gamut over their 7 children and three decades. The one thing consistent from the early days of strict parenting to more permissive parenting is to focus on building character and connection. One thing that was consistent across all those years and styles of parenting. It was their intense love for their children and their enjoyment of each one as a person.

    The one thing they learned over all those years is that there is no formula for parenting. Still, there is so much we can learn and be encouraged in.

    Amy Nyvall, a coach with Connected Families, joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about parenting through connection and attunement without sacrificing standards. This is one of our longer podcasts because the topic and conversation were just that good. We hope you enjoy episode 111 and walk away with more ideas to connect with your children this season.

  • Many of my adult friends have an ambivalent relationship with the Christmas season. Why is that? It's often because their mothers were stressed and anxious about achieving a "perfect Christmas."

    In a recent discussion, Diane Boden, the creator of the Minimalist Mom's Podcast, joined Jennifer Pepito to talk about how to create a minimalist Christmas. The focus is on planning, creating meaningful moments for your family, and choosing what brings you joy and connection.

    During the holiday season, there are numerous external pressuresā€”from the vast selection of Christmas decorations at stores like Target to expectations from family and the community. It's easy to say yes to everything, buy more than you need, or feel guilty about your actions.

    Don't let yourself fall into that trap. Avoid letting the pursuit of the "perfect holiday season" turn you into a frazzled mom. Instead, aim for simplicity so your children aren't left wishing for more relaxed times and a happier mom.

  • Sometimes, in the nitty gritty of parenting, we get so focused on what isn't happening, or we focus on our current "reality" rather than the promises of God. This can cause us to spiral into fear, control, panic, and reactionary decision-making. Our children are the actual sufferers when we allow this spiral to happen. What would happen if, instead, we started to step back in those moments and ask God to show us what he is doing or asked him for advice on how to deal with or respond to a learning struggle, a child with hard-to-manage emotions, or any one of the plethora of problems that come up in life? What if we learned to tune in and attach to our children

    The wonderful Deb Weakly, creator of Help Club for Moms, joins Jennifer in episode 106 to talk about how big God is, his faithfulness, and the process of trusting him in our parenting and mothering story. There is so much hope in this episode, and we hope that wherever you are in your parenting journey, you are blessed by this conversation.

  • Welcome to episode 105 of the Restoration Home Podcast. What a conversation we have for you today.

    We had the honour of hosting Katy Faust of the "Them Before Us" movement. She comes on with heart-hitting facts about the cost of divorce, the crisis in a divorce generation, and the irreplaceable role of fathers.

    Today, 50% of divorces are over low-level conflicts that build, and the long-term cost of a self-serving "happiness' decision is our children's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

    Katy and Jennifer offer advice on better communicating with our husbands, the point of fathers, and the importance of putting our children first in every decision.

  • We are delighted to welcome Sally Clarkson back to the Restoration Home Podcast! She is a dear friend and our first repeat guest on the podcast. She has recently published a new book, Well Lived: Shaping a Legacy of Gratitude and Grace.

    Her newest book is a memoir and an inspiration to mothers young and old, new and veteran. She joins Jennifer to talk about living a life of generosity and faithfulness. We often live our lives going from goal post to goal post, waiting until we've "arrived" or we're "done". However, as wives and mothers of faith, the journey is life itself, and we're called to run well until the run is complete.

    Sally Clarkson's gentleness and wisdom, shared through her personal stories, is a wonderful encouragement, and we are so excited to offer this episode to our community.

  • Alyssa Bethke, author of When Doing it All is Undoing You, joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about how to avoid burning out in the pursuit of being a great parent. Sometimes we forget that offering our best to our children can only come when we have first taken care of ourselves emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This can feel challenging in the early days of motherhood, but it is so essential to carve out this time for the sake of our children and our family.

    This is a beautiful and practical conversation for moms at every stage of parenting and motherhood.

  • What if homeschooling was hard simply because there were still some areas where past pain continued to steal the joy and whimsy from our present life? And what if taking our precocious, intelligent 4-year-old from preschool to 12th grade, without turning them into "barely interested test takers", was possible? What if everything we thought about education was a myth? What if a little more balance and less stress could have a whole lot of impact?

    In this delightful episode 101, Emelie and Jennifer talk about balance, baking bread, homeschooling, how life can steal our joy, why traditional workbook studies for our kids are detrimental to cultivating intelligence and much more.

    This episode is for every mom with a deep love for her family and a lot of work to get through daily. We understand that life is demanding, but it doesn't have to be draining. Enjoy this podcast's wisdom, insight and practical hopefulness to help calm your life down and find the space to focus on what matters.

  • It's my pleasure to introduce Christie Thomas, the creator of Little Shoots and Deep Roots, as she joins Jennifer for an enriching discussion on nurturing and educating our children.

    As parents, our deepest wish is cultivating a love for God and joyful righteousness in our children. However, we often feel overwhelmed by distractions, grapple with fears, confront feelings of inadequacy, or simply struggle to find the time. But in Episode 100, you'll discover empowering and actionable insights for embarking on family discipleship with small yet impactful steps, releasing self-imposed pressures, and embracing gradual progress towards daily connection as a family through spiritual practices and scripture memorisation.

Saying a simple prayer over our children each night before bed has big effects on their mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. You aren't perfect, and there is no perfect way to raise a "godly" family, but as we continue to bring Christ into the centre of it small actions can have God results.

  • Welcome to Episode 99. Join Jennifer Pepito on a solo episode about crafting a homeschool mission statement. There is so much pulling at our attention and every "yes" is a "no" to something else, and every "no" opens up new opportunities to say "yes" to something better for your family down the road. But until we have a clear idea of our values for why we are homeschooling and what we want our family to look like, we can end up saying "yes" and "no" to the wrong things because we get caught up in the emotion or pressure of the moment.

    This is a practical, beautiful, informative episode that will inspire you to start this school year with a fresh vision and develop the tools and skills to prioritize what really matters to you over the school year and beyond.
