Terri Bonin At Home!

S3 Ep. 1 Welcome Back to At Home with Terri Bonin! Today we begin Season 3 of this show!  To start off our year right, let’s zoom out and take a wider look at your home and the way it impacts relationships. Your presence, attention and reactions matter, but so do the actual spaces themselves! But don’t worry, this episode WILL NOT be a shopping list for you! Home should be a place where we exhale:...

S2 Ep. 47 2025 was a year of movement. Before we hop into the excitement of 2026, let’s reflect on the year of 2025. What has God been doing in your life?  It is worth reflecting on the gifts of marriage, family, children, provision, safety and more! In my study this year, I just finished the Book of Esther. The book of Esther is such an inspiration to my life, especially in moments that seem clou...

S2 Ep. 46 I get this question a lot: How do you do Christmas with such a large family? The best way I can answer is: Don’t fight for the day of Christmas, fight for a pattern. Fight for something predictable!  Last week, we discussed the pressure to perform that comes with Christmas. Pressure to have everything perfect, outlined, done! But remember, this season is not about perfection - it is abou...

S2 Ep. 45 Christmas comes with PRESSURE to perform: Whether it is to buy the best gifts, make memories that look Instagram worthy, or to be the most generous giving family by the end of the year. If we aren’t careful, we will spend all of our time “producing.”  That is not what this season is about! This season is about joy, rest and presentness. Being present doesn’t happen by accident. It happen...

S2 Ep. 42 With social media, self-help books and much of the therapy/mental health industry: Mindset is discussed… A LOT! As women of God, we must go straight to the Bible when we are faced with the creeping discontent that can plague us. Mundane tasks are the primary breeding ground of discontent: Be watchful and careful about how you think of those daily maintenance tasks! In this episode, we di...

S2 Ep. 40 If you have not listened to part 1 of this short series, I recommend you do so! Let’s discuss solitude.  Alexandra Stoddard said, “Solitude is the foundation for all genuine work.” When we take time to say “No” to things, we automatically say “Yes” to others. Make sure your time stays your own: on your calling, your ministry and your own regulation. If you think that solitude is the enem...

S2 Ep. 40 People ask, “How are you?” You say, without missing a beat, “Busy!” And you mean it. We are all so busy. Solitude seems like a personal hell to anyone with ADHD, extroversion or any need for stimulation - but it is necessary for our humanity. In this episode, I give moms of ALL ages and stages ideas for how to reclaim solitude in their own lives: it can seem impossible, yes, but I am her...

S2 Ep. 39 Maybe it's the glorious Autumn weather, the impending holiday season or the birth of my two newest grandbabies (numbers 13 and 14): life is so beautiful, if we choose to pause and acknowledge the details that make it so. Our Creator blesses us with small moments of joy, peace and sensory experiences throughout our busy weeks, to ground us and allow us to focus on the joy of everyday...

S2 Ep. 38 “To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition.”  Samuel Johnson. Home is not a transitory place, it is the goal itself. My purpose in life is to restore peace, beauty and meaning in my home, and to encourage other women to cultivate this as well. Most moms today are “Hurry Girls” and choose to overlook the lovely details of life that build a strong culture. Whether it be fr...

S2 Ep. 37 Homes are the greatest place for our family’s comfort, for life lessons to be learned, for community to be built and for memories to be made. Home is truly one of the most powerful and important places on earth. Many modern women devalue the home and overlook the special moments amidst the chaos of chores, busy schedules and the next mealtime: My mission, as a mom of 11 and grandma to 13...

S2 Ep. 36 Elizabeth Elliot, author, speaker and inspiration to many, strikes again in my life! Her first husband, Jim Elliot, was killed in 1956 while attempting to make missionary contact with the Auca people of eastern Ecuador. In the wake of grieving him, she wrote the path of loneliness that talks about the God shaped hole we all have in our souls. Marriage, friends, children or family are nev...

S2 Ep. 35 Halloween… A controversial topic in many Christian circles! What are the origins, the history, the meaning and the point of Halloween? Should we, as Christians, celebrate Halloween? Let’s discuss! This episode is not to condemn anybody’s fun, upright traditions on October 31st, but to simply give an overview of how the Bonins celebrate and the reasons behind our celebrations! If we belie...

S2 Ep. 34 Hey Moms, life is hard. We can be overwhelmed at all hours of the day and we can be tempted to believe “I should go back to the workforce to do work that MATTERS!” Wow, what a negative thought! In today’s episode, allow me to encourage you, mom! Allow me to bless you. Allow yourself to rest in what God has called you to. In God’s economy, small acts of dedication and care are enormously...

S2 Ep. 33 Cold and flu season is upon us… or as I like to call it “Candy Season.” Our kids need to be covered by mom’s protection as they go into this season! Here is what I have done to help my family’s immunity during cold and flu season! First, essential oils. Of course. Young living’s seed to seal promise eliminates any guess work when it comes to questions like “Is my essential oil clean?” “A...

S2 Ep. 32   This episode is going to be a little different, friend. I’m sharing some thoughts on Charlie Kirk and the legacy he’s left on our country—and why it really got me thinking about our role as wives and moms. At the end of the day, the best way we can impact the world is by starting right at home. Slowing down, making space for family dinners, spending real time with our kids, and keeping...

S2 Ep. 32 In today’s episode, I welcome back my dear friend Sarah Mullis for part two of her powerful story. Last time, Sarah shared about the sacrifices she and her husband made in their early years—living off the grid, tiny homes, and doing whatever it took to provide for their growing family. This week, we go even deeper. Sarah opens up about the different living situations they’ve walked throu...

S2 Ep. 26 In today’s episode, I’m sharing something near and dear to my heart—family worship. Whether it’s gathering to read scripture, worship through song, or simply pray together, having that intentional time as a family has been an anchor for us over the years. Life doesn’t always allow for perfect routines (especially with kids in different seasons and schedules!), but the heart behind it has...

S2 Ep. 25 Today’s episode is a little different — no guest, no script, just me and you chatting heart to heart. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what life’s looked like lately and how I’ve been intentional about prioritizing time with my husband, even in the middle of some real challenges our family has faced. Marriage takes work, especially when life gets overwhelming, but I’ve learned a f...
