Episode 16: Memory Making Mom, an Interview with Jessica Smartt

Earlier this year I picked up the book, Memory Making Mom, by Jessica Smartt. I was intrigued by the tagline of her book, Building Traditions that Breathe Life Into Your Home.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but can I be honest?

It’s one of the best books I’ve read so far this year.

Once I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down.

And after I finished reading it, I knew I had to get Jessica on the podcast.

In this episode you’ll hear:

What it means to be a memory making mom (and what it doesn’t mean)
Inspiration for breathing life back into your home (and why it matters)
An honest look at the life of a mom who hasn’t always been a “memory making mom”
And so much more!
