Restoring Home: Ruth McKeaney

"My husband and I own a charming historic home, Hillside Farm, just outside Philadelphia. It’s a lovely property with giant trees and rolling hills, an enormous barn, a chicken coup, and a constant stream of friends and family. groups, her passion is in small-group settings." Really? Write about my life at Hillside? I chuckled and put the idea in my back pocket, never expecting to take it out again. But, like a persistent seed, the idea refused to stay buried. Instead, it took root and sprouted straight up. And before I knew it, one page after another, a book was born. It took all of us working together. My daughters did the calligraphy and illustrations, and Bob cheered me on. Like Hillside, the book is a representation of Bob and me. We have flipped many homes, but Hillside is the apex of our rehab adventures. For one year, we documented our life at the farm through words and photographs. In spring, we planted bulbs and threw garden parties. We gathered eggs and baked quiches. We celebrated new life and growth and all the color that comes with it. In summer,  the fun and games went on from morning till night. Family and friends flowed in and out, and the BBQ never stopped. In autumn, we picked bushels of apples, baked crisps and pies, shut our garden down, and remembered why we are thankful for one another. In winter, as the snow covered the fields, we stayed warm inside with soups and stews and favorite books read by the fire. The monotony of the cold was broken by holiday parties and the promise of a new year. From our favorite traditions and time-earned wisdom, to family recipes, gardening ideas, and hosting tips, for one year, we captured what “home” means to us. It is our hope that you will feel at home in its pages and be encouraged to make your house a home for others as well. Welcome to Hillside Farm.

Ruth McKeaney: Hungry for Home

With Thanksgiving this week in the US and the holiday season around the corner, let's get our hearts, minds, and spirits ready and be intentional in our homemaking. To discuss this topic, I invited Ruth McKeaney to share her experience. Ruth is the author of "Hungry for Home." As a constant host, she goes to the heart of what makes one feel at home. Every day, her goal is to make her home a safe place, so her family and her guests have the opportunity to have their deeper needs met. Intentional homemaking, in its most idealized form, creates a setting where vulnerability and honesty are valued and protected, understanding and grace are fostered, and love is freely given. It's time to recover the richness of community lost in the today's hustle and bustle. We can still slow down. We can still prioritize our family and friends over our "to-do" lists. We can still find beauty in the midst of chaos. We can still sit around the table with bowls of pasta and laugh until two in the morning. We can still go home.~ Ruth McKeaneyThis episode also discusses the significant phase of the identity crisis she experienced and how she overcame it. She also shares her journey to finding her purpose when lovingly challenged by her uncle to seek God for. Ruth McKeaney is a former Attorney General for the state of Virginia and Assistant Commonwealth #39's Attorney. Ruth and her husband, Bob, are raising their five children on their restored historic farm in Berwyn, PA. Hillside Farm was featured in the books Stone Houses and Theology of Home and exhibited in multiple home tours and a few magazines.Listen to the podcast for our conversation. Here are the quick glimpses3:26- Ruth about her life4:17-  Identity Crisis 14:40 - Being the best of yourself20:37- Launch of Hungry for Home23:10- Struggles and ignition to passion Favorite Quotes:"Everyone, despite your ethnicity and religious beliefs, is yearning for a home." "You don't realize as a mom, your whole identity becomes your children.""It was an amazing experience to sit back and watch the Lord work."To connect with Ruth: Website: https://www.hungry4home.comFollow IG: @hungryforhomeFacebook: HungryforHomeYouTube: https://youtu.be/F0IgsqCarEIPurchase Book: https://www.hungry4home.com/shopTo connect with Jenny: Website: http://wholymom.com/Follow IG: @wholymomLinkedIn: Jennifer JamesFacebook: wholymomEmail: info@wholymom.comTo Support My Podcast, use: Paypal Or Venmo: @wholymom Support the show
