Joanna Gaines Encourages Fans with Adorable Home Lessons

By Allyson Vannatta, Staff Writer

Like so many Americans, Joanna Gaines is homebound with her family trying to find ways to pass the time.

The Christian design star is using her Instagram page to encourage followers to be creative, laugh, connect, and inspire others during this time at home.

She is even posting new challenge and activities every day that everyone can try and share on their own social media pages.

She started by posting a video of herself making her chocolate chip cookie recipe from her cookbook.

The video shared cute moments with the family as well as the FIXER UPPER star making the cookies.

With life looking quite a bit different than we’re all used to, our @magnolia family is looking for ways to focus on how we can make the most of our time spent at home, because honestly there’s no better place to be right now – and in the midst of all that’s going on, we believe that there is room for connection, creativity, laughter, and inspiration. ⠀ ⠀ So here’s what we’re gonna do: for the next few days, we’re going to share a new challenge and/or activity that we can all get in on together and share. To kick it off, Drake has filmed us making the chocolate chip cookie recipe from the first cookbook. ⠀ ⠀ Now it’s your turn! I want to see what you’re cooking at home – just post on your account or in your stories and tag @magnolia and #webelieveinhome

I’ve noticed our kids quietly processing all that’s going on and wanted to make sure they knew they could process and express their concerns, questions and even fears in whatever form they were comfortable with. For my sweet Ella, she wanted to write down the questions she’s currently wrestling with and interview me. Here at @magnolia we want to hear what your kids’ thoughts and questions are so set up the camera and interview away—tag @magnolia and #webelieveinhome. I also wanted to provide another quick & simple family favorite recipe from #MagnoliaTableCookbook ❤️ (full recipe on my Insta story)
