Join me for this Newbie Homemaker Portrait of listener, Jade Brooks. We have a delightful conversation about her growth over the past 2 years of full-time homemaking and how the Lord is teaching her to let go of perfection and focus on the 'why' of homemaking. “Knowing what you’re doing it for helps overcome perfectionism. At the end of the day it’s all for the glory of God.”

We chat about setting and keeping priorities in order, making dinner at 5am, showing hospitality through good food and the importance of getting dressed for the day. Jade also opens up about her recent miscarriage and making space in their hearts and home for two teenage nephews.
