HGTV Star Shares Relatable Family Moment at Church
By Movieguide® Contributor
Erin Napier appreciates the hard-working husband and father that Ben Napier is.
In a post to Instagram, she shared a sweet family moment with the couple’s two girls, Helen, 6, and Mae, 3, cuddled in their dad’s lap at church.
“not that they care, but he fixed the dishwasher today ? also, anyone else in the back row with your wiggly children?” Erin captioned the photo.
Several users chimed in on the post. “My pastor has always said ‘a quiet church is a dead church… If there are no noisy children today, there will be no church tomorrow’ ❤️,” one user said. Another person added, “What a wonderful guy and what a great relationship you have. <3”
The Napier family recently shared their holiday plans for this season, which include some travel. Erin told House Beautiful, “We will head to Ben’s parents in our new-to-us camper that was designed to look and feel like a real house. It even has a fireplace I’m excited to get cozy beside.”
She also shared a sweet tradition that Ben does for the girls. “Ben finds mistletoe in the trees on our farm and the girls tie up little bundles with ribbon and hang them in every doorway of our house,” she said. “It’s become our favorite tradition.”

Despite the success of their show HOME TOWN, their daughters are the Napiers’ top priority.
“It’s so hard. It’s harder for our work family because they know the girls and our home life is our first priority,” Erin told TV Insider of the challenges that come with putting family first. “We have to say no to so many things. We have to say no to schedule changes that are at the last minute. We say no to working after five. We say not to working overnight. We say no to almost everything that might disrupt the girls’ lives.”
