Long before their hugely popular TV show Home Town, an expanding family, or demolition day on their dream home, Erin began keeping a daily online journal to help her stay focused on the positives and count her blessings in life. She never expected that her depictions of small-town life in the tiny swath of Mississippi she and Ben call home would catch the eye of a television producer and set them off on the journey of a lifetime.
Make Something Good Today offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a couple that America has come to know and love for their easy humour, adoring relationship and ability to utterly transform a place into something beautiful and personal. This is the poignant story of how aerie and Ben took a small, tight-knit town into their own hands (literally) and used ingenuity, community and authenticity to rebuild a once-thriving American Main Street. And how, by combining Ben’s carpentry skills with Erin’s design eye, Home Town proves that small-town living can feel as big as you make it.
