    Homemaker Portrait | Jessica Clark

    Send me a text about this episode! I’m chatting with Jessica Clark of thelarklife.com and the Handmade Happiness Podcast, for our final homemaker portrait of the year.  You may remember Jessica from our Quilting Deep Dive earlier this year. Well, she’s back to tell us her homemaking story today. Jessica and her family recently left everyone and everything they knew in South Texas to start a homestead in Missouri.  The past year has been an exercise in faith and continually looking for God’s hand of blessing and providence when the hard parts of this big move had them questioning their decision. Jessica has learned so many lessons, not just in this recent move, but throughout her homemaking story she’s learned to be flexible, slow down to savor the everyday moments and to put people before tasks.  SHOW NOTES All resources mentioned, including Jessica's signature dish recipe will be on the blog.

    Homemaking Deep Dive | Holiday Hosting with Melissa Austin-Weeks

    Send me a text about this episode! Holiday hospitality doesn’t have to mean elaborate menus, a perfectly decorated house, or an exhausted hostess. Today, I’m joined by Melissa Austin-Weeks, who provides all the hostess wisdom over at Home with a Twist,  and hosts The Sentimental Twist Podcast with 2-time art of home guest, Brittany Shepard.  Similarly to Brittany, Melissa believes in the power of sentimentality to make a house into a home. She is best known for sharing her favorite recipes and hostess skills that she learned from watching her mother, Ernestine’s life-long practice of the art of hosting. While holiday hosting is our focus, we talk a good deal about welcoming people with intention rather than trying to make an impression.  From her simple 3-2-1 menu method to preparing for last-minute guests and sharing the work of holiday traditions, Melissa offers practical ways to make hosting feel lighter, leaving more space for you to connect with the people you are welcoming into your home this holiday season.
