    Monday Motivation #35 | Making Room for the Holidays in Your Home

    Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode. Today, I am beginning a series of Monday Motivations all about Making Room for the Holidays. Over the next four weeks I will give you ideas for making room in your home, your budget, your schedule and your heart.  I know it’s only October, and I promise not to play Christmas music, but if we wait until December to make room in our space, finances, calendars and ourselves, we will likely become overwhelmed and default to survival mode.  My aim for this series is to give you ideas and tools to make room for not just surviving, but thriving in and truly enjoying the holiday season.  NOTES & LINKS For full show notes and the  FREE Making Room in Your Home Check List visit theartofhomepodcast.com/blog and search "MM#35" Direct Link to Blog: https://www.theartofhomepodcast.com/post/making-room-for-the-holidays-in-your-home Support the show HOMEMAKING RESOURCES Private Facebook Group, Homemaker Forum Newsletter Archive JR Miller's Homemaking Study Guide SUPPORT & CONNECT Review | Love The Podcast Contact | Voicemail |Instagram | Facebook | Website | Email Follow | Follow The Podcast Support | theartofhomepodcast.com/support **Buy | as an Amazon affiliate, AoH receives a small commission at no extra cost to you when you use our links to purchase items we recommend

    Homemaker Portrait | Jenny Nanninga

    Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode. In this final Homemaker Portrait of 2025, I am chatting with In-the-Trenches homemaker and mama to 5 girls, Jenny Nanninga.  I loved this conversation with Jenny. She is so wise, funny, and really, she's an open book. She candidly shares her struggles to accept and adjust to life in a 700 square foot home with 5 girls and one bathroom. Though God blessed them 2 years ago with a larger home, Jenny values her time in the tiny house because she learned so much about contentment and creative homemaking there.  She fiercely defends the value of homemaking to anyone who will listen, but most importantly to her girls and she is training them not just in the practical skills of the home but in valuing the work of the homemaker.  We cover all the usual ground of strengths, weaknesses, influences, wins, fails and more.  NOTES & LINKS For Full Show Notes, including Jenny's favorites and Signature Dish, go to theartofhomepodcast.com/blog and search "Jenny Nanninga" Connect with Jenny Etsy (for Nature Group Start Up Guide and more!)
