Practical ways I'm preparing for our homeschooling year (non-curriculum discussions) - S6, E2 Aug 25, 2026 38:59 As we head into a new homeschool year, it's easy to focus all our attention on curriculum choices, but the truth is, a peaceful and fruitful school year depends on so much more than the books we choose. In this episode, Jami shares the practical, non-curriculum ways she is preparing for their family's 10th year of homeschooling, including simplifying phone habits, creating stronger household routi

Where I've Been: Falling in Love with Life Offline - S6, E1 Jun 28, 2026 49:57 After the longest podcast break I've ever taken, I'm finally back! In this episode, I'm sharing where I've been, why I disappeared for over six months, and what God has been teaching me through a long season of transition, rebuilding, and learning to love a quieter life offline. I'm talking about our family's move, settling into a new home and community, healing after a hard year, stepping back fr

What a Large Family Produces (From Someone Who Lived It): The joys & blessings of a large family - BLOG Jun 25, 2026 12:33 In Part 1 of this series, I asked the question: Can you really raise a large family well? Welcome to part 2. I'm the oldest of four kids, which, in my mind growing up, did not feel like a large family. But apparently… it was and is especially now! People used to ask my mom if we were all from the same dad (which was always baffling because we all look like clones). And now, looking back, I realiz

How I'm Rebuilding My Bulk Pantry (step by step) - BLOG Jun 22, 2026 06:41 I originally wrote this article in April and I'm finally getting around to publishing it. I'm about to place 5th Azure order and it indeed has already made a huge difference in our budget (see the bottom of the article)!  Over the years, I've developed quite a system for storing and cooking out of a bulk pantry. I routinely buy 25-50lb bags of dried goods and cook almost everything from scratch. N

I Quit the Noise—and Found My Mind Again: Learning to Be a Calm Woman in an Anxious Age - BLOG Jun 8, 2026 11:38   If you've been feeling stressed, weighed down, worried, or just quietly unsettled lately… this is for you. I've walked through cycles of this myself over the past few years. Since 2020 especially, it has felt like a constant hum beneath everything, an undercurrent of tension that never quite goes away, especially when one is chronically online. And somewhere along the way, I realized I didn't wa

Can You Really Raise a Large Family Well? - BLOG Mar 23, 2026 12:01 Rediscovering God's design for family in a world that sees children as a burden I have mostly been off of social media entirely since early January when I got my new "dumb-ish" phone for my birthday. But even so, news reached me that Hannah Neeleman from Ballarina Farms had her 9th baby. And that the internet has imploded over it. I'm honestly not sure what is so shocking about a Mormon mom, who's

My 40 Before 40 Reading List - Working on the Western Canon - BLOG Mar 6, 2026 06:32 For the first time in a couple of years, I've really been enjoying my reading list! I've set a goal of reading 104 books this year, at a clipped pace of 2 books per week. Here at the end of February, I've managed to stay on track with this goal and hope to see it through this year. Part of my renewed vigor with reading is that it has now been 4+ years since I've gone this long without being pregna

How to Grow as a Homemaker (Without Feeling Behind) - BLOG Mar 2, 2026 12:34 When I first got married, I was behind. Admittedly, I was only nineteen. That alone explains part of it. But if I am completely honest, I do not think that five more years would have made much difference. Even if I had finished college as a single woman instead of a married one, even if I had waited until twenty-four or twenty-five, I do not believe I would have been significantly more prepared to

My Garden Journal: February 2026 - BLOG Feb 17, 2026 06:02 I am deep in the part of my gardening year where I am SUPER excited… and also starting to wonder if maybe I did too much. If you garden, you know this feeling. January and February are all hope and seed packets and plans. Everything feels possible. And then suddenly your dining room table is covered in milk cartons and seed trays and you're counting how many varieties of peppers you started and th

A Trip to Pennsylvania, A Pause in Blogging, and Some Honest Reflections - BLOG Feb 16, 2026 06:23 The kids and I had the opportunity to go visit my family in Pennsylvania this past week, and I'm so incredibly glad we did. We've been trying to schedule a trip up there for ages, and it just never seemed to work out. There was always something — a launch, a deadline, a busy season, a reason to push it off. Finally, we picked a time that worked… except Jason was just too busy to take off work. So

Homemaking Is Not About Perfection, It's About Faithfulness - S5, E8 Feb 2, 2026 16:20 In a world full of Pinterest-perfect homes and constant comparison, it's easy to feel like our homemaking is never "enough." In this short and encouraging episode, Jami offers a much-needed reminder: homemaking isn't about perfection, it's about faithfulness. She shares why social media can quietly distort our expectations, how God calls us to stewardship instead of performance, and why the quiet,

When the Work Feels Small: Homemaking as Kingdom Work - BLOG Jan 30, 2026 07:35 There are seasons when the world feels too loud. Too heavy. Too much. And often, that weight doesn't stay "out there." It follows us home. It shows up in tired bodies, overflowing sinks, loud kitchens, and hearts that feel stretched thin. In moments like that, it's easy to wonder if the quiet, repetitive work we do every day really matters. This season, I've been thinking a lot about what it truly
