Hey friends! A few weeks ago we shared our experience having our first homebirth, and man was it an awesome experience! In today’s show, we answer questions y'all asked specifically about having a homebirth. Tune in to hear our thoughts on things like post delivery aftercare and clean up, medication/pain relief during a homebirth, and our plans for future homebirths (God willing!). Also, let us know in the comments if you’d like to have our midwife on to share more insight from a medical perspective. God bless you!A big thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode!

You don't have to live long to experience situations that can leave you hurt, suffering, and ultimately hard-hearted. In this episode, we look at some examples in Scripture of how certain characters handled adversity in a way that honored God when they had every reason to become jaded and bitter. Part of the human experience is going through trials, but thank God He provides us with the power to break free from cynicism and to not hold resentment in our hearts when we are continually wronged. May you rest in the power of Christ, for when we are weak, He is strong.A big thank you to today's sponsors:Better Help: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/myhouseSimplisafe: Get a free indoor security camera plus 20% off with Interactive Monitoring at simplisafe.com/myhouseNoom: Start building habits for healthier, long-term results.

Hey friends! It's crazy to think this is our 101st episode together!! Since we've hit this milestone, we thought it would be a good idea to re-center one of our As For Me and My House "House Rules" by sharing about ways we implement hospitality to those around us. We specifically titled this episode PRACTICING Hospitality, because it is something that takes time and effort. Even if God has gifted you with a heart to be hospitable, sometimes we get so lost in the presentation or appearance of hospitality that we lose sight of the reason we do it in the first place. Tune in to some of the Scriptural references and our two cents on how we can be people who generously serve and open our homes up to others for the glory of God.A big thank you to today's sponsors!SimpliSafe: Get a free indoor security camera plus 20% off with Interactive Monitoring at simplisafe.com/myhouseOuter: Get $300 off and free shipping at liveouter.com/myhouseBetter Help: Get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/myhouseVerse of the Day:"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing." - Hebrews 13:2

Hey AFM+MH Fam! Can you believe this is our 100th episode?! Your love and support over the years have blessed us beyond words. We are forever grateful to you all. In celebration of our 100th episode and as a small token of our appreciation, we would LOVE to give Starbucks coffee to the first 100 people who share this episode on their IG story! Just tag Milena, Jordan, and AFM+MH, and then send your email address in a direct message to AFM+MH on Instagram. ALSO--be on the lookout for an exciting announcement for an opportunity with XO Marriage in the coming weeks! Today's episode is based on a word our pastor gave last week--all about how we have "pulled weeds" in our marriage garden and replaced them with new, life-giving seeds. Marriage takes work, but that work yields some of the most beautiful harvests imaginable when we trust the Lord and put Him first in all things.A big thank you to Fabric Insurance for sponsoring today's episode!
