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.
