Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito How to Plan Your Family's Perfect Christmas with Jennifer PepitoGrowing up, Christmas was magical. My parents made first things first, and gave us consistently quiet, deeply magical, family-centred, Christ-focused Christmases. As I grew up, I realised how truly rare this was, as so many friends expressed distaste for the holidays because their parents were stressed, or they were introverts dragged from event to event. So often, we get caught up in the hustle of the Season, missing both its true symbolism and losing opportunities to carve out truly life-giving memories for our families. Jennifer's step by step guide to making Christmas, hosting, giving, and gifts simple, p...

Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito Heartfelt Obedience with Emelie PepitoHeartfelt obedience to God and those in authority over us, is one of the powerful sanctifiers of a believer and joyful obedience is a powerful outcome of our love for Christ. (John 14:15). But it is scary; the connotation is negative, and many of us are scarred by it, or are so protective of our happiness, dreams, ideal world that obedience at the cost of any of these is an untenable prospect. Even though some broken people have ruined "obedience", this does not give us the right to reject the practice or virtue of obedience in our personal lives.

Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito Sustained Joy with Emelie PepitoThe majority of our life is lived not on the mountain tops or in the harvest, but in the sustained and steadfast toil that tends to the gardens and climbs the mountains. It is in the plodding toil that we are most likely to lose joy, focus, or find our purpose eroded across the grind of every-day reality, decision making, squabbling children, disappointment and loneliness. However, as Christians' steadfast joy is part of our inheritance, if we are willing to lay hold of it. "Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

High school is the last step before how we taught our children and what we taught them is really tested. Increased requirements and laws governing high school can also make it seem like too bit an endeavour to undertake at home or like our children are going to miss out on an essential part of a high school education.

Restoration Home with Jennifer Pepito Practical Steps for a Happy Marriage with Emelie PepitoSubmission has become a polarising word. For those of us who were raised under hyper-religious structures in the 80s and 90s, submission was framed in medieval terms. For some, it's one of those things in the Bible, that we simply lay aside as archaic, along with the commandment for women to go outside of the city whilst on their period. For others, it conveys a whole world of hurt and manipulation. But what is submission, really? Is it necessary? And does it have anything to do with building an orderly, fulfilling, and joy filled marriage? W...

Jennifer and Emelie start with the most basic stewardship, our hormones, specifically progesterone!* Progesterone is the hormone that prepares your body for pregnancy at the end of your cycle. When you have enough of it, you should feel calm and nurtured in the days running up to your cycle. But stress, crowded schedules, busy school loads, and trying to do everything can derail our progesterone production. Why does this matter?

Architecture is creativity, making a budget go farther than you thought is creativity, cooking a beautiful meal, scheduling your day so you have time for what is important to you, and so much more require creative actions. At the root of creativity is "create", which means "to make or bring into existence something new". Creativity is producing something which is not obvious or already there. While creativity can range from perfecting organization in a small space to a Degas painting, one thing all creative actions have in common is th...

The holidays are a magical moment of our year, where we set aside time and energy to celebrate, remember, enjoy, and connect with family and friends. Yet in all that beauty, it's often a time when stress, past hurt, present pain, the desire to create something magical for our spouse, children, loved ones, and dirty laundry can become a monumental practice exacerbating lies we believe about ourselves, God, and our ability to be connect and be present with those who really matter.

In some seasons, your family rules, and the boundaries and stability we put into place to foster godly, joy filled children will look like it's failing. But is the family rule failing, or is God too good to allow "goodness" to replace "holiness". Goodness is simply good behaviour, holiness is when we've allowed ourselves to be sanctified from the inside out, nothing hidden, nothing broken.

Control often comes from a broken place, as we try to make our world and environment safe, familiar, and unchanging. Or if our parents were orderly, bordering on control, we shy away from order because it felt like manipulation and fear. But Godly order is worship of an orderly God.

Balance is not something we often think about when we're looking at spiritual disciplines. Think about it as understanding the season you're in. Are you in a season where you're really pursuing righteousness? Well, is it tempered by an acknowledgement of God's grace? Are you working on grace but forgetting about righteousness? Balance is usually what happens when we stay in step with Christ, because he is looking to bring us into relationship with himself and not another form of religion...

As women, our hormonal cycles and our ability to be emotionally calm are inter connected. Our hormones are balanced through feeling cared for during estrogen production (follicular phase) and feeling mutual companionship during our progesterone (luteal phase). When past experiences make us feel like no one is there for us in hard times, it becomes even more difficult to engage our external world in a way that helps balance our hormones.
