Welcome to Homestyle, the podcast from The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette, Louisiana, that's all about life, family and the stories they inspire. Hosts Leigh Guidry and Joe Cunningham talk about cooking, crafting and how to incorporate family into the things they love doing.
August in Louisiana can mean a lot of things to different people, but something we probably all agree on is it definitely means hurricane season. Hurricane Ida just hit southeast Louisiana, and more storms are brewing in the Gulf. So we thought it important to share tips about preparing for and facing what comes this season.
In this episode you'll hear:
<< tips about what to do as a hurricane is approaching: freeze water bottles, charge your phones, pick up outdoor furniture and toys;
<< reminders for during the hurricane, if you're riding it out: don't play with the flashlights, turn off the A/C;
<< what to do after the storm passes: document any damage by taking photos, have board games and UNO at the ready, do not drive through flooding.

Episode 92: Do you e-learn?
This week on the Homestyle podcast we're looking for inspiration for our crafts and cooking, and even our day jobs, so we turn to the internet, of course. And we're not the only ones.

In this episode you'll hear:
<< some of our favorite YouTube channels, streaming shows and Pinterest boards where we find everything from recipes to lesson plans;
<< how much growth this industry has seen, stats included;
<< and places to look for inspiration for your next project or hobby.

Episode 91: Upcycling Through Crafting
It's the first week of school, and we're tapped out — financially, physically, emotionally, all the ways. So rather than go out and find a new project or new materials to buy, why not take what you've got lying around at home and make them into something new and improved? Let's upcycle this week on the Homestyle podcast.
In this episode you'll hear:
<< ideas big and small for turning your "trash" into something usable, from toilet paper rolls turned party favors to old towels and baby clothes made braided into baskets and rugs;
<< how to make planters out of tin cans, plastic 2-liter bottles and egg cartons;
<< what to do with old belts — new purse, anyone?
<< and why all of this matters to you, me and the environment.
What have you taken and given new life? What materials did you use? Share your experience (and photos!) in The Homestyle Podcast Facebook group or @Homestylepod on Instagram and Twitter.
