Today is the day — welcome to the online launch party for Love the Home You Have! The book is officially released, and it feels wonderful to share this project after two years of planning, outlining, and collaborating with a talented team.
This book has been a major part of my life, and I’m thrilled it’s finally available. I couldn’t have done it alone; many people poured their hearts into making it what it is.
To celebrate, I’m inviting you to join the Love Your Home Challenge — a series of simple, inspiring activities from the book designed to help you appreciate and enjoy your home more.
In the back of Love the Home You Have there’s a 31 Day Love Your Home Challenge with no-fuss, easy projects you can complete in a few minutes or a single afternoon. These prompts are meant to help you notice and cultivate the things you already love about your space.
Let’s do the challenge together. Pick a prompt from the book (or make up your own), complete it, and share the result on your blog, Home Love Stories, Facebook, or Instagram. You can do one project today, several this week, or work through all 31 prompts to build a lasting habit of cherishing your home.
If you share your project online, please use the hashtag #LoveYourHomeChallenge so others can find and be inspired by your posts. You’re welcome to use the Love Your Home graphic or any of the book’s special images to help spread the idea and encourage others to participate.
To kick things off, thirty-three friends joined the launch by taking on their own Love Your Home Challenge projects. They were so generous to say yes, and their contributions are full of creativity and heart.
Take a moment to visit these contributors today to see what they’ve created. Their projects offer practical ideas and heartfelt perspectives that will inspire you to love your own home even more.

PS. As a thank you for your support, there’s a special gift: a hand-illustrated art print designed by Nicole from Harvest House Publishers. It was created for personal use and makes a sweet, simple piece of art for your home or a thoughtful housewarming gift.
You can download the art for free in multiple sizes, including a version with a white background, from the book page. Feel free to use it in your home or share it on your blog, Facebook, or Instagram to spread a little home-loving inspiration. Click the download link on the Love the Home You Have book page to get your copy.
Don’t forget to visit the participants listed above and join in with a Love Your Home project of your own.
If you haven’t picked up the book yet, you can order it from the book page. (P.S. today is the last day to get 50% off the digital version.)
