The day has arrived! Welcome to the online launch party for Love the Home You Have. As of today, the book is officially released. I can hardly believe it’s been two years since I first sketched the outline and a proposed title.
This book has been part of my life for a long time, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you. I’m grateful to the wonderful team who poured their hearts into this project alongside me.
Let’s get the celebration started. I have a special gift at the end of this post, but first I’m excited to introduce the Love Your Home Challenge and 33 friends who are joining the launch today.
In the back of Love the Home You Have you’ll find a special section: a 31 Day Love Your Home Challenge. It includes simple, no-fuss activities designed to inspire you to appreciate and enjoy your home a little more every day.
Why not do the challenges together? Pick one or more prompts from the book (or create your own), then share your results on your blog, on Home Love Stories (a great option if you don’t have a blog), or on Facebook or Instagram. Do one today, do a few, or complete all 31 to build a habit of loving your home.
If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #LoveYourHomeChallenge so we can find and celebrate your posts. You can use the Love Your Home graphic from the book post or any of the images from the book page. Thank you for helping inspire others!
To kick things off, I invited thirty-three friends to join me in launching the book by taking part in the Love Your Home Challenge—happily, they said yes!
Click through to visit these talented bloggers today to see what they’re sharing. Their projects and passion for their homes are sure to inspire.

As a thank-you for your support, I have a special gift. Nicole, the designer from Harvest House Publishers who created the book art, also designed a charming hand-illustrated art print just for you to use for personal enjoyment.
You can download the artwork for free in multiple sizes (including a white-background version) to use as decor or a thoughtful housewarming gift.
The print and other hand-drawn quotes are available on the Love the Home You Have book page. Feel free to download, pin, share, and use these images on your blog, Facebook, or Instagram to spread a little more love for home. Click here to download!
Don’t forget to visit the participants listed above and join in with a home-love project of your own.
If you don’t yet have the book, you can order it from the book page. (P.S. today is the last day to get 50% off the digital version.)
