These sweet boys made me a mama, and I'm so incredibly grateful every single day.
It's not easy. In fact, it's the hardest and most rewarding job I've ever had to do.
Yet, I wouldn't change it for the world.
God prepares you for it all. Every boo-boo, every tear, every joy, and every moment.
This is for all of the mamas out there who often feel exhausted, depleted, and alone, yet also completely filled with gratitude and joy.
You are doing His work. You are laying the solid rock of faith on which your children will stand upon. You are pouring unending love into their hearts. You are preparing them for this world. You are serving them a feast of great literature, music, poetry, and history. You are reclaiming their childhood with puddles, messy hands, and happy hearts.
Keep going. Keeping doing these beautiful things for your children because that is our job as mothers, and they need us.
In this crazy, busy world, I pray that we may slow down and fully embrace this gift of motherhood. What a blessing it is 🩷
Proverbs 31:26: "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."

I met Ciara through mutual friends, and she spent a day with us at our farm school to teach a soap-making class. I was not only blown away by the high-quality products and methods that she used, but was incredibly inspired by her family's story and intention for this business that stretches far beyond just skincare. is not just providing families with the best products for your skin, but they are also supporting local farms and businesses AND ministering to their customers.
Check out their story below:
"Michael and I met in 2012, we have 2 children and boxer named Duke. We’ve had a wild ride these past 10 years that have landed us in our current season as entrepreneurs. Michael was a NYC Ironworker building some of the biggest bridges and steel buildings. I work full time from home for an insurance company. In 2021,God called us to step away from Michaels Career, sell our home, and leave NYS. We have always been very handy and love a good DIY project, so when I took a soap making class, it was only natural that evolved into this amazing business. We started Faithfully Natural Soap Co. with the intentions of connecting with other family owned businesses through the state and country to source high- quality skin nourishing ingredients to help empower people to know what they were bringing into their homes.
We strive to bring things back to the basics. We are more than a soap shop, and we are getting back to our roots and helping other families along the way.
We want to empower people to break free of the mainstream, read labels, and provide you with the highest quality skincare.
We locally source all our Tallow/Lard as well as Beeswax Capping and Medicinal Herbs. Our soap accessories are all made in the USA by other small business owners.
As a family, we are committed to putting God first and walking through all doors with faith that he has opened, and we can’t thank you enough for being along for the ride. From our family to yours."
In this episode, Ciara will inspire you with her story and share great ways to get started living a cleaner and healthier lifestyle through high-quality skincare.

Hi! My name is Jenna. So nice to meet you here! Here is a little bit about me and how the Whole Mama started 💜
I was a former teacher turned homeschool mom and entrepreneur and currently live with my husband and two boys (ages 4 and 7) on a small farm just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. After teaching for over 8 years and working with children through leadership and camp programs, I felt called to stay home with my boys to teach them at home on the farm.
In 2020, I started The Whole Mama blog, podcast, and mentoring business to inspire and support mothers - and now homeschool mothers.
In 2022, I also felt called to start a farm school co-op that offers a peaceful place for children to learn about the beautiful world God has created through nature and farm studies. It also serves as a space for mamas and their children to protect and honor the sacredness of childhood, strengthen children’s relationship with God’s natural world, and foster the development of the whole child and who they were called to be in this world.
I love farm life, teaching my boys and other children about God’s unending love for them and spending time outdoors.
I also love enjoying coffee and a good glass of wine, traveling, reading, cooking, hiking, and growing personally and professionally through books, mentorship, podcasts, and reading the Bible.
I help mamas bravely start and continue homeschooling with the tools and guidance they need to confidently and joyfully teach and disciple their children at home. I hope that my guidance will serve as a reminder of why mothers rise each day to build faith and character, educate, and reclaim the childhood their children deserve.
Please tell me more about YOU in the comments. I would love to hear about what you do and what inspires you!!!
