Send me a text about this episode!

Join me for the first Homemaker Portrait of 2026. I'm chatting with In-the-Trenches homemaker, Colleen Rockwell, about homemaking, homesteading and homeschooling. After working many years as a full-time nurse, Colleen left her job to stay home with her 3 children. They moved to a more rural area, got some animals, started homeschooling and haven't looked back.

Colleen admits, "My biggest challenge was, and still is, running my home smoothly, learning the best systems to clean, cook, and preserve food." We cover all of this and more in her story of home. Be sure to listen till the end for this episode's emoji. :)
