On today’s episode I am chatting with my friend, Dani Hamilton. She is an in-the-trenches homemaking mama of 3 little boys and wife to husband, Luke who is a professional firefighter. Dani is an amazing artist, one of the most creative people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We bonded over our mutual love of art, sewing and all things crafty. 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!

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.

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.

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.

We are kicking off  Season 9 of The Art of Home with a portrait of seasoned homemaker, Jeanne Coté, who has been keeping a home with her husband, Jeff, for 44 years. They have raised a houseful of girls, and even "adopted" another girl through some radical hospitality. Jeanne shares about marrying young, educating and raising her girls, caring for her aging mother and how the loss of her daughter, Jessica, brought her to her knees before Jesus, and how He changed her life and home forever.

Join us for our summer reading series. During the month of August we are working through JR Miller's classic, Home-Making, published in 1882. Each Wednesday your host, Allison, will read two chapters from this short book. Each Friday, The Art of Home will distribute corresponding reflection questions to our email subscribers. 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. 

In this installment of the summer reading series we present Chapters 8 & 9, "Religion in the Home" and "Home Memories".
