Join me for this great conversation with "in the trenches" homemaker, Leslie Lucadou.  We talk about what God is teaching her through her homemaking life with 3 little girls, an autoimmune disease and a passion for teaching how caring for our bodies fuels the good work God is calling us to do in life.

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.

We are kicking off Season 6 with our very first "Newbie" Homemaker Portrait.

Christine may be a newbie, but this conversation is rich with reflection on hospitality, cooking, identity and the sacredness of home.
