Exploring ways to create a peace-filled life through the lens of Tolkien's writings. A Catholic lifestyle podcast examining the Shire and the lives of Hobbits.
In a final "Building Our Shire" episode, Stacy and Ross put a final flourish on this project with some reflections, sharing memories, and a look to the future. A sincere thank-you to those who shared this project with us as we created it, and to those who might pick it up in the future.

-The future of family and our creative projects
