Season 2, Episode 5 Recap

This week’s episode of The Heirloom Podcast is a “Framily” Meeting. Ben and Erin, Jim and Mallorie, and Emily and I sit down together to talk about Episode 4 of HGTV’s Inn This Together and reflect on the series as a whole.

It’s good to have friends stand beside you in unexpected times.

The scent of wet sand & hemlock

Salt wind slips through the open window, braiding itself with the dark green of fir trees and the faint sweetness of sun-warmed docks. It smells like an early August afternoon in Kennebunkport. Bare feet on cool floorboards, the ocean just out of sight, and the whole long day still waiting to unfold.

-Erin

Long before their hugely popular TV show, an expanding family, or demolition day on their dream home, Erin began keeping a daily online journal to help her stay focused on the positive and count her blessings in life. She never expected that her depictions of small-town life in the tiny swath of Mississippi where she and Ben call home would catch the eye of a television producer and set them off on the journey of a lifetime.
