00:00Now it's to sit down with Erin and Ben Napier. Happy holidays, you two!

00:04There's a new season of Hometown coming in 2026. What is something you're hoping

00:08viewers take away from this upcoming season? This season was challenging. Really huge projects.

00:14I mean, the first two episodes are one house. It was so big,

00:18we had to get permission from HGTV to spread it across two episodes. So that alone is massive.

00:25The theme of this season is you can do hard things.

00:30Yes, we can do hard things, can't we?

00:33Yes! Let's do a lightning round, Napier edition.

00:37What is one easy way for people on a low budget to style their space?

00:40Okay, I'll tell you one thing. I have a beautiful, not beautiful, kind of boring,

00:45very comfortable, massive sofa that was my mom's. I had it reupholstered in like a beige

00:50oatmeal color, but I wrap it in a Suzani quilt that's super colorful without having to paint

00:59the room. You can just add color that way. What is something your parents did that you

01:03would grumble about that you now find yourself doing?

01:06Oh gosh.

01:07Everything?

01:08Literally everything.

01:09Literally everything?

01:10They were right.

01:11Don't roller skate in the house.

01:14I kind of want to plead the fifth here because I don't want to tell them.

01:18Yeah, I think I'm going to plead the fifth and just say everything.

01:21If you had to pick a word or mantra for 2025, what is it? And what word or mantra are you going

01:27to channel for 2026?

01:29The 2025 is when we did the doing.

01:32Yeah.

01:32That was the we can do our things year.

01:35We went to Scotland.

01:36Yes.

01:37That was a big fear for me, crossing the ocean.

01:40We started homeschooling.

01:41With children.

01:42We started homeschooling.

01:44Um, and we're doing it.

01:46That's what every time when we say it, when we say it, people are like,

01:49oh, did you hire a tutor?

01:50And we're like, no, we're the tutors.

01:53Life feels like it's moving so fast.

01:55What are some non-negotiables for your family that help you slow the time down?

01:59Is that even possible?

02:01Homeschooling is a, it's not a non-negotiable.

02:04It's what we're trying this year.

02:06But they are, they've never had devices.

02:10They've never held phones or tablets or iPads.

02:13Um, we're trying to live like it's our childhood again.

02:16We let them watch things on TV, all of us together as a family.

02:20We have movie night like every night.

02:21It's not like we don't have TV time.

02:23We're watching like the Berenstain Bears.

02:25We watched Prancer this week.

02:27So, um, living slower.

02:30Okay.

02:31To finish, we're going to put 10 seconds on the clock.

02:33Tell everyone why they should tune into hometown in the new year.

02:36Ready?

02:37Go.

02:37This season is going to have some returning customers.

02:41I'm going to cry my eyes out at one reveal.

02:43There are two personal projects, one of them very personal.

02:48This one's very different.

02:50We got a lot that are very different from anything we've done before.

02:52There you go.
