Homemaker Double Portrait | Jillian Johnson & Anna Murphy Oct 23, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

First, I am chatting with ANOTHER Scottish homemaker, Jillian Johnson. Technically, she was raised in Canada by Scottish parents, she moved to Belfast, Ireland for midwifery school where she met a dashing Scottish medical student who was raised in England. They got married, had a baby, and now make their home in Scotland. We have the most delightful conversation about Jillian’s experience as a newbie homemaker, wife and mom. I adore her sense of humor and found myself smiling and laughing all over again as I did the editing of her segment.
Then I chat with Anna Murphy who stayed home for about 5 years with her daughter then taught school for 12 years before returning home full time in 2020. The Lord really changed Anna’s perspective about the importance of homemaking to draw her back home just in time for those crucial years of helping her teen daughter see the value in homemaking. With both of these ladies, we cover all the usual territory of strengths, weaknesses, expectations, fails, wins, resources and more.
In Allison's Update, I'm sharing my favorite Fall music and news about Holiday Homemaking 2024!

Monday Motivation #10 | Piercing the Darkness with Halloween Hospitality Oct 14, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

I realize for some believers this holiday is off limits due to their past and or their conscience before the Lord. I respect that because, while we all have freedom in Christ, each one of us should do as the Holy Spirit directs us. If that's you, feel free to skip this episode.
For those of you who are on the fence or haven’t really considered how Christians should think about Halloween, I'd like to present one perspective in today's episode. Is this really "the devil's day" and are we violating scripture by handing out candy?
It is my prayer that this episode will encourage you to fear not, but rather seek the Lord's will for your family's participation (or not) in Halloween.

I am also giving some practical suggestions for fun couples and family costumes as well as my (new) favorite fall candies.

🎃 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

Homemaker Portrait Double Episode | Maryela Soto-Portillo & Amanda Faucett Oct 09, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

I've got TWO great stories of home for you today! First I am chatting with Maryela Soto-Portillo who has been keeping a home for 15 years. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in New Jersey, she now makes a home in Florida with her husband, 2 children, and her mother. Maryela works part time, homeschools her children and has dreams of opening a homeschool co-op to help other busy moms make homeschooling work for their families.

Then, I visit with Amanda Faucett who has been keeping a home with husband, James, for 23 years. She just launched her son from the nest and will be launching her daughter in less than 2 years. Amanda and I have a great conversation about living in a somewhat politically divided home. It’s not a topic that comes up often, but it is her experience and she has some great insights to share.
I will also be sharing a couple answers from last Monday's question of the week about favorite fiction books and giving you my answer to that question. Enjoy and don't forget to use the chapter markers to hop around and find you place later if you need to listen in more than one go. :)

In our recent deep dive episode on the informed homemaker, Isa Ryan and I discussed the value of exposing ourselves to great literature because it helps train our minds in the art of story-telling.

Monday Motivation #8 | Be a Berean, Guard the Gates of Your Mind and Home Sep 16, 2024

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's episode is a companion to our recent deep dive on the informed homemaker which is all about making sense of what is happening in the world and our culture with eyes of faith through a Biblical worldview lens. Of course going right to the source and studying scripture itself is the best policy, but what about companion resources such as devotionals, Bible focused podcasts, Bible study books, online sermons, other Christian publications, YouTube channels, etc? How to we know who to trust? Is there a way to tell whether or not a preacher or publication is biblically sound? That is what we are discussing today as we look at the example of a group of believers from the New Testament called the Bereans.

Homemaking Deep Dive | The Informed Homemaker with Isa Ryan Sep 11, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Has the news got you angry, worried, or ready to opt out of society? As part of our season-long exploration of courageous homemaking we are going to tackle the topic of world news, events and culture. How do we navigate all of that responsibly without fear, fighting or checking out completely and what does all of this have to do with courageous homemaking?
My discussion partner today is Isa Ryan, a homemaker and writer who grew up with a very progressive paradigm and no concept of biblical femininity. As a follower of Christ, she now champions God's design for men, women and the family in her writing and her interactions on social media.
Join us as we look at what it means to be an informed homemaker and why it matters.

Monday Motivation #7 | Prioritizing the Family Table Sep 02, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

One of the ways we can express love in our homemaking is to prioritize the family table. Slowing down long enough to gather and break bread together provides the family an opportunity to connect every day. In this episode we will look at things to consider regarding expectations and purpose as well as tips and ideas for setting the table and the mood and what to talk about once you are there.

Monday Motivation #6 | Homemaker Culture, Cultivating a Creative Life Aug 12, 2024

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 today's Monday Motivation I'm riffing on the popular Charlotte Mason idea of Mother Culture™ and applying it to the homemaker. Mother Culture™ stresses the importance of cultivating your own soul and mind with the express purpose of having something good, true and beautiful to offer those in your care.
Homemaker Culture, as I have experienced it over the past 30+ years, involves claiming small windows of time amidst our busy days to cultivate a rich reading life, religious life, artful life and creative life. This episode will focus on the creative life, with some practical suggestions to help you begin to pursue Homemaker Culture.

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

We all desire a peaceful, fruitful home where everyone feels loved, valued and welcome. We can all think of things that hinder or even hijack that goal, but the most sneaky enemy of home may be lurking in the dark corners of our own hearts.
In today's Monday Motivation I share a story about this enemy of home involving a close encounter of the natural kind. In keeping with the discovery and nature theme, I'm sharing my favorite apps for identifying the animals, plants and bugs around your home and neighborhood.
I also share a couple of listener comments and a tip from the AoH Mail Bag.

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Join me for this experimental, first ever, Homemaker Portrait Double Episode!
First, I’m chatting with Brittany Duncan, homemaker and fellow podcaster. Brittany has been keeping a home with her husband, Johnson, for 7 years. Even though she works outside the home, Brittany loves embracing the old ways of homemaking so much that she started a podcast to help other women her age do the same.

My second guest today is Jenna Punke-Bendt, homemaker and another fellow homemaking content creator. Jenna has been keeping a home with her husband, Doug, for 17 years. Jenna has embraced full time homemaking for most of those years as she has raised 4 boys who were all born within a span of only 5 years!
With both of these guests I will discuss their typical homemaking day, their homemaking strengths, weaknesses and influences. We discuss homemaking expectations and gratitude as well as classic Q&A with all the usual questions plus a new one about hospitality. Finally, we talk to the younger and the older women with some Titus 2 advice.

Monday Motivation #3 | The Aroma of Home Jul 01, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

"There are homes in which there is nothing remarkable in the way of grandeur or elegance, yet the very atmosphere as you enter it is filled with sweetness like, 'the smell of a field that the Lord hath blessed'. It is the aroma of love, the love of Christ shed abroad in human hearts." ~JR Miller
We have an opportunity, homemakers, to cultivate a particular spiritual and relational fragrance in our homes. Will it be a sweet aroma or an offensive stench? Today I am sharing a little story about the aroma of home, some of my favorite spice mixes and I'm pulling a classic cookbook From My Bookshelf that I think will help you in your homemaking journey.

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

We want to be faithful, wise managers of the resources that have been entrusted to us. There are many benefits to good stewardship, but like all things in homemaking, economy in the kitchen doesn’t just come naturally to most of us and there are many things that can trip us up and hinder our progress.
In this episode we will first look at the why of kitchen economy; how it honors God, our husbands and helps our homemaking. Then we will discuss how our grocery bills are impacted by our skills and expectations. Finally we will look at how to use money and time management for practicing good kitchen economy with 15 money and time saving tips.

Monday Motivation #2 | The Magic of a Busy Box Jun 17, 2024

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 today's Monday Motivation, I'm sharing my summer memories of creating from my grandmother's scrap box and how I carried that practice into my own home when my children were growing up. Whether to fill time on a rainy afternoon, keep little hands busy during travel or in waiting rooms, a Busy Box for your kids or grandkids will certainly spark creativity. Just remember, it's not really about the end result, it's the process and the memory you are making of being creative together.

I'm also answering a listener question from The AoH Mail Bag about creating family and personal mission plans.

Homemaker Portrait | Alecia Doty May 01, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

On to today’s homemaker portrait, I am chatting with Alecia Doty. She was nominated by her friend Tina Bergs. Here’s what Tina had to say about Alecia’s practice of the art of home: "Alecia makes her home a place where children are nurtured in the love of Christ and pointed to what is true, good, and beautiful. She is a welcoming hostess who intentionally uses her home as a place where souls can find rest, and be met with the love of Christ."
After spending an hour or so in conversation with Alecia, I can see why Tina gave such a glowing recommendation. Alecia has such great insight into the art of home. She poignantly explains that homemaking is a beautiful, hard, sanctifying, creative adventure; a high and holy calling which, if we allow, God will use to draw us to himself and transform us into the image of Jesus so that the Gospel will be displayed through our homemaking.

Homemaker Portrait | Jan Roueche Apr 17, 2024

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 chatting with Seasoned Homemaker, Jan Roueche. Married for over 40 years, Jan and her husband have raised 10 children, homeschooling them for many of those years…a topic which comes up a good bit in our conversation. When Jan and her husband married the were both new Christians so not only were they learning how to live together and create a harmonious home life, they were both learning how to faithfully walk with Christ, and it wasn’t always easy. We discuss some of the practical need for structure when living in a large family and Jan shares a little about her current season of homemaking which involves caring for her husband as he battles Parkinson’s disease. Jan shares many tips, a lot of practical advice and much wisdom throughout our conversation. I especially love that her advice is centered on the need to cultivate a deep abiding relationship with the Lord.

Pillars of Homemaking Deep Dive | Rhythms & Routines Apr 03, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

I am so excited to finally be talking about the 3rd Pillar of Homemaking, Rhythms and Routines, with my friend and past AoH guest, Leslie Lucadou.

We will start with a brief review of the 4 Pillars of Homemaking, then spend some time defining rhythms and routines-talking about the difference between the two and giving some examples of each. Then we look at motivations (or the why) for establishing rhythms and routines, contrasting the world’s ideas vs what God has to say about our why. Next we talk about 4 rhythms of christian living; worship, rest, work and play—what those might look like and how we can use homemaking to help and not hinder these rhythms. Finally we end with a few pitfalls to avoid when establishing rhythms and routines.

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 episode I am chatting with Kerita Fuller about her experience keeping a home for the past 10 years with her husband and step children. Kerita worked for the US Air Force for 20 years before retiring and fully embracing her role as full time homemaker and helpmeet to her husband. We talk about her sudden and steep learning curve of become a mom, not to babies, but to teens. She had a very short runway to prepare them to leave the nest as capable young adults and that was a big responsibility. Kerita shares openly how infertility can tempt her to compare to women who have what she doesn’t but that God has taught her that what motherhood looks like is not what she thinks it should look like, but what He says it looks like. I love her perspective on hospitality and how homemaking builds community and she has some fun stories, tips and ideas to share.

Homemaking Deep Dive | Emergency Response in the Home Feb 07, 2024

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Imagine being caught in a home emergency, your heart racing and mind scattered — would you know what to do? This episode is a must-listen for every homemaker as I sit down with Elizabeth Dillard, a paramedic firefighter with a wealth of field experience, to arm you with the knowledge and skills for effective crisis management in the home. Together, we dissect the fine line between fear that paralyzes and fear that mobilizes. Elizabeth shares empowering wisdom from scripture to fight paralyzing fear AND some practical knowledge for preparing your response and assessing life-threatening situations. In this episode:

🔥Preparing Your Response: 2 Kinds of Fear and what scripture has to say about them, YOU are the first responder and you set the tone.

🔥Incident Management; what to do in actual medical and fire emergencies (mild content warning: we do discuss medical trauma).

🔥Post-Incident Management: what to do after the emergency. How to work through the aftermath for ourselves and with others.

EPISODE NOTES:

Homemaker Portrait | Naomi Fata Nov 15, 2023

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 today’s episode I am talking with In-the-Trenches homemaker, Naomi Fata. She’s been married 16 years and has 3 kids, ages 8 to 13. She homeschools and runs a sewing and alterations business out of her home--she is a very busy lady. We discuss how she has learned/is learning to balance homemaking, schooling and a home business through compromise, firm boundaries and letting go of some expectations. Naomi is passionate about teaching others how sewing can help them make the most of their clothing and home decor resources.

Over the years, Naomi realized that this "stay-at-home dream life" she asked God for does not come with ease. It is challenging to manage it all, but she is learning to differentiate between what God has and has not called her to do in each new day. Whether running a home business or not, this principle applies to all of us as homemakers as we seek to thrive in our calling and not be distracted or overwhelmed by all the possibilities before us. I know you will be encouraged and learn something from Naomi's story of home.

Homemaker Portrait | Breanna Wakefield Nov 08, 2023

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 episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Breanna Wakefield, a full-time homemaker and mother of two. Breanna opened up about the strong influence her mom and grandmothers had on her homemaking journey, highlighting the importance of understanding the why and how behind our daily tasks. We delved into the challenges she faced during her pregnancies, including complications related to endometriosis and her battle with postpartum depression. As someone who has personally experienced postpartum depression, I found our conversation incredibly relatable and encouraging. Breanna also generously shared her tips, tricks, and ideas for successful homemaking, leaving me inspired and eager to implement them in my own life. Trust me, you don't want to miss this valuable and heartfelt conversation.

Join me for this In-the-Trenches Homemaker Portrait of author, blogger and full-time homemaking mama, Kristen Howard. We talk about how growing up on a South Dakota cattle ranch shaped her idea of home and family and how God is working to grow Kristen's own home and family that she is making with her husband and 2 (almost 3) kids. Kristen is passionate about slowing down and enjoying the every day gifts of home. That theme is what much of her writing centers around and it comes through clearly in this fun conversation.

Join me for this Newbie Homemaker Portrait of listener, Jade Brooks.

Welcome to Season 15! We are chatting with my friend, seasoned homemaker, Kay Aeby. She graciously shares her journey from self-proclaimed "hippy chick" young bride through a very difficult marriage through years of single parenting then remarriage and her current stage of homemaking in retirement. Kay reflects, "It's not my story, it's God's. I’m grateful that I went through what I did because that helps me to appreciate what I have today…because I see where God delivered me. He didn’t have to, but He loved me so much that He did.”

Today I am bringing you the very first Single Homemaker Portrait on The Art of Home. "Can a single woman be a homemaker," you may ask? Well, if she has a home, she certainly can be! Of course it will look different than a married homemaker who stays home to care for the house and children full-time. Elizabeth also has the unique experience of living 2 days out of every 6 in a fire station for her job as a paramedic firefighter. We have a lot to chat about!

Today, I am bringing to you a brand new homemaker portrait of Sarah Beaugh. Married 22 years with three teen daughters she is what I would call a seasoned in -the-trenches homemaker and she has so much wisdom to share. Sarah found The Art of Home Podcast through social media but then after recognizing several names on past episodes started putting the dots together that we live in the same area and have several mutual acquaintances. I got to sit down with her in her lovely home a few weeks ago and get to know her better through this delightful homemaker portrait interview.

Summer Reading Re-Run | JR Miller's Homemaking Ch. 4 & 5 May 24, 2023

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's installment of this Summer Reading Re-Run:
Ch. 4 "The Parent's Part" and Ch. 5 "The Children's Part"
In chapter 4, Miller explores the parent's role in creating both physical and emotional home environments in which children will thrive. In chapter 5, he gives wisdom concerning how children can learn to honor their parents by learning to confide in them, to live for others rather than self, to practice thoughtfulness and to share in the housekeeping.
The Art of Home is taking a break for the beginning of summer 2023. That gives you an opportunity to catch up on old episodes or join in for another round of reading and studying JR Miller's classic, Homemaking, published in 1882. For the next five weeks your host, Allison, will read two chapters from this short book.
To help you retain and apply the timeless lessons of Rev. Miller, The Art of Home has created a free study guide for each chapter. Use the link below to receive your downloadable, printable copy. All resources created by The Art of Home for this summer reading series are provided free of charge.
Since we are presenting the book in audio form via the podcast you do not need a hard copy. However, it might be helpful for working through the reflection questions. This book is in the public domain, therefore you can access the text for free in various places online. We will link some below. If you desire, you can purchase a paperback copy for less than $10 on Amazon.

Homemaker Portrait | Alexis Molnar May 03, 2023

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

On today’s episode I am talking with in-the-trenches homemaker, Alexis Molnar. She is wife to Eric and homeschooling mama to their two children. Alexis shares her journey from working girl to stay-at-home mom, to eventually letting go of her part-time gig and focusing all her efforts on homemaking and homeschooling.
Eric lost his job late last year and that was the catalyst for starting his own business. Alexis openly shares how God is teach her to trust Him despite the fears that can come with a single-income, entrepreneurial family life. As usual we talk about priorities, expectations, fails, wins and we geek out together over our love of air fryers.

Pillars of Homemaking Deep Dive | IDENTITY Apr 05, 2023

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

I am diving into the first pillar of homemaking, Identity, with my good friend, author, speaker and podcaster, Susan Macias. This deep dive is the first in a series on Four Pillars of Homemaking: Identity, Values & Priorities, Rhythms & Routines, and Community. We are going to contrast what God has to say about identity with what the world has to say about where to find your identity. Then we will look at some common identity thieves—things homemakers may be tempted to look to for identity and how to avoid falling into those traps.

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 today’s show, I am chatting with in-the-trenches homemaker, Kelly Gundersen. Our in the trenches category includes homemakers who have been practicing more than 5 but less than 25 years. They are past the newlywed stage and are working through how to prioritize marriage amidst a houseful of kids, schooling, activities, their husband’s career, and more. Life is busy and demands their constant attention in this stage. Kelly is no exception, but her approach to this busy season is refreshing. Here’s a hint, it requires boundaries based on her family’s values and intentionality to thrive within those boundaries.

So the subject of creativity and art comes up quite a lot in this full and fun conversation. Once again, I am blown away by the wisdom and insight of this younger generation of women!

Homemaker Portrait | Michelle Poehlmann Oct 26, 2022

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

On today’s show I am talking with my friend Michelle Poehlmann (pronounced "Pell-men") about her homemaking journey over the past decade with husband, Luke. With 3 kids, ages six and under, Michelle definitely qualifies as an in-the-trenches homemaker. After working outside the home for nearly all of their married life, she came home full time last year to care for her children and work alongside Luke running their short-term rental business on their beautiful 20 acre Texas hill country property, Bird Haus Farms. In the shift from work to being home full time, Michelle is learning to relinquish control to be available for the people around her.

Homemaker Portrait | Betty Hicks Oct 19, 2022

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

I am talking with Betty Hicks who has been keeping a home with husband Dan for 37 years. Betty is a mom, a grandmother, a retired military analyst, a breast cancer survivor and a published author. She and Dan started their married life making a home in Germany, just before the end of the cold war. The most dramatic change came when both she and Dan had separate encounters with Jesus and began to follow and obey him in every aspect of life. We will hear all about that and more in Betty’s story of home.

In today’s episode I am talking with seasoned homemaker, Adrienne Schrank, about her experience of keeping home for the past 34 years with husband, Ron. Adrienne is a born administrator, a trait which has served her well in the organizing and time management side of homemaking but has sometimes been an obstacle to relationships. Adrienne has had to learn that she is not called to “admin people” but to love them and take part in God’s work of shaping hearts.

Homemaker Portrait | Abby Colbath Sep 28, 2022

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Join us for this Newbie Homemaker Portrait of my friend, Abby Colbath. Despite your youth and classification as a "Newbie", Abby has a lot to share. Her experiences over the past few years have given her perspective and wisdom that many of us don’t gain until much later in life. She has walked through the joyful, but challenging waters of newlywed life, started a business from scratch, and faced some very dark valleys of grief and loss, and it is clear to see how the Lord has carried Abby through it all.

Amber's Homemaking Poem
Sacred + holy is the
ground of homemaking
In all its colors + forms
Intentionality + creativity
Used to create spaces
That are safe + warm
Dishes to wash
Floors to be swept
All the chores can feel mundane
But rest assured
In the Kingdom of God
None of your work is in vain
Through the windows of home
We see glimpses of heaven
A foretaste of what is to come
Rest for the weary
Peace for the hurting
Joy…and a place to belong
As we tend to the chores
Tend to the gardens
Or tend to delicate hearts
We are building
Into a legacy
That bids us to come take part
As you gather 'round your table
Bellies are nourished
And so are precious souls
Sanctification, growth
AND failure
It all happens within these walls
With each whispered prayer
Every hug shared
And every single load of washed clothes
With every held hand
And every meal prepared
A wise woman builds up her home
Sacred + holy is the
ground of homemaking
In all its colors + forms
A high + valuable calling
A precious gift from the Lord

To kick off Season 7, I’m chatting with my friend, Gwen Cunningham, about her 36-year practice of The Art of Home. Gwen worked as a social worker and group home supervisor while keeping a home with her husband, Paul ,who taught high school. Together they raised 3 kids and just recently gained another adult child in Paul’s daughter, Jen who sought out her birth father about 4 years ago. God is telling an AMAZING redemptive story through them which Gwen graciously shares with us in this interview. Besides that, she has so much wisdom to impart, the kind that comes with years of experience and it is my honor to share with you Gwen’s story of home.

Homemaker Portrait | Lana Leiloglou May 18, 2022

Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Join me for this "in the trenches" homemaker portrait of my friend, Lana. While we at AoH define the "in the trenches" homemaker as one who is 10+ years into her journey with lots to manage in a busy household, Lana is very open about her time in the trenches of struggling to "love every minute" of parenting and homemaking. We talk about what to do with that unrealistic expectation. Lana is also a gifted photographer who specializes in newborn, family and branding portraits and she shares some tips to improve everyday photos.

For this Homemaker Portrait, I chat with my friend, Karen Sheppard, about homemaking through generations. Karen is a veteran homemaker who has cultivated a place to belong not just for herself and her husband, but for her children and her grandchildren. Just as she was deeply influenced by her grandmother, Karen works to influence her grandchildren and hopefully, one day, her great-grandchildren. Her story is a testimony to the value of investing in the future by practicing the art of home.
