About this episode

Connie embarks on a mission to make a house a home for her family friends fleeing a war-torn country.

 Connie’s family are super good friends with a family that come from a country that isn't safe for them to live anymore. Connie is on a mission to make their house a home before they arrive, but she needs help...   “I need to know how to make a house a home and fast.
