  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 & LINKSFor Full Show Notes, including Jenny's favorites and Signature Dish, go to theartofhomepodcast.com/blog and search "Jenny Nanninga"Connect with JennyEtsy (for Nature Group Start Up Guide and more!)Instagram @bloom.wild.schoolhouseArticles in Focus on the Family and BrioThe Joyful Life articlesBloom Wild Girls, Podcast for Tween & Teen Girls | Apple | Spotify | InstagramMentioned in this EpisodeBooks: A Lantern in Her Hand by Bess Streeter Aldrich Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglas WigginPower Paste Grout CleanerFREE Advent Guide: theartofhomepodcast.com/christmasSupport the showHOMEMAKING 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
