Here’s the thing about Jana Duggar: We’re pretty sure that she could take over the whole dang world if she wanted to. Not only is she immensely talented when it comes to all kinds of different things, but she’s also got the organizational skills to back it up. Though it doesn’t seem like she’s brought her expertise far from home just yet, we’re still lobbying for her to land her own HGTV show and become the next Joanna Gaines. Heck, she could probably have her own cooking show, too. Or her own super nanny reality series. When it comes to this Duggar daughter, the spin-off possibilities are endless. Check out the gallery below to see everything this woman can do.

When it comes to wrangling kids, this girl’s the boss.

Her sister Jessa Duggar may have been the Jesse James of the home school world, but Jessa’s always been good at keeping the rest of the family in line.

She can do it all without a second thought.

We’ve seen her pretty much raise most of her siblings — and we’ve even seen her step in with some of her siblings’ kids. Juggling a phone call and someone else’s baby is no sweat for her.

She’s got years of experience.

Of course, she was pretty much forced to master the skill at a young age, so it’s not surprise that she’s become a total child-rearing expert these days. Just look at that bottle-feeding technique!

She doesn’t limit herself to inside projects.

In addition to being the go-to girl for all of her siblings’ home decor projects, she’s also the queen of the family’s backyard. Not only has has she made it look beautiful, but she’s made it seriously useful.

Her garden is to die for.

And she knows how to utilize the army of small children she’s got at her disposal and put them to work. Even kids as small as Spurgeon and Izzy can be helpful when it comes to sprinkling seeds in the soil.

And have we mentioned she raises chickens?

She even made an adorable sign for their coop, calling it the “Chick Inn.” It doesn’t get any better — or punnier — than that. Though the garden hasn’t been featured much on the TLC series, you can learn more about Jana’s tiny farm in one of the show’s webisodes.

She’s got a green thumb — and a green eye.

That’s less a commentary on her eye color and more on her vision, but she’s a natural when it comes to picking out the perfect plants. Whether they’re for her garden or just to sprinkle around the house, she always knows just what to get — and she’s recently started experimenting with air plants, too.

That extends to produce.

The Duggars buy pretty much everything in bulk — so it makes sense that Jana is heading out to the store to buy an abundance of pumpkins as soon as fall hits. Maybe one day we can get the ultimate Duggars-Roloffs crossover and send the sister-of-18 to Roloff farms during pumpkin season.

But she can shop anywhere.

The family even joked on Facebook that Lowe’s is like a second home to Jana. Considering all of that different projects she’s constantly working on, it’s no surprise that she might as well move into the warehouse. And hey, at least then she’d have her own room, right?

She can throw together any kind of decor.

If you’re wondering just what she did with all of those pumpkins, well, they probably ended up in a display a lot like this one that she set up a few years ago to celebrate the start of the season.

It’s a passion project for her.

She even decorates the gates that surround the family’s property. The family showed off a photo of the oldest daughter hard at work as she made the fences a little more festive.

When it comes to DIY decor, she’s a pro.

And she’s only gotten better with time. Though this projects is a few years old, we can see its Joanna Gaines-style charm. According to the fam, she put together “an old fence board, some painted sticks & a little jute string” to make this into a rustic piece of art for the walls.

Of course, she cooks, too.

Not only does she cook, but she regularly cooks for about two dozen people. It seems that she’s always having her siblings and their kids over at the house and whipping up meals for everyone.

And she teaches!

Making pizza is one skill. Teaching your little siblings how to make pizza is a totally different one — and, honestly, it’s a heck of a lot harder. But Jana had no trouble making delicious pepperoni pies with her sisters, nieces, and nephews.

Baking bread? Not even a challenge.

On her Instagram, she shared a delicious sounding Duggar recipe (which are honestly few and far between) for bread, and then showed off her skills when it comes to actually putting everything together.

It looks delicious.

The finished product is honestly making us hungry. We can’t take our eyes off of these loaves — though we doubt we’d ever need to make this many at one time.

She’s kind of an event planner.

And we’re not just talking about how she and BFF Laura DeMasie have been pretty much planning John David Duggar‘s wedding on their own, although that’s probably her most impressive accomplishment yet. She’s also hosted many parties for her fam over the years, including whipping up movie nights out in her garden.

Music is no problem, either.

And having a baby in her lap won’t stop her from tickling out some jaunty tunes. We told you that she’s a total pro when it comes to multitasking! Playing Mozart and house at the same time is no easy feat.

She’s got the violin down, too.

She even performed a mini-concert at an old folks’ home with some friends. Oh, and she also plays the harp — did we mention that yet? We’re pretty sure she could start a band all on her own.

She knows how to maximize her space.

Though the star doesn’t have her own bedroom, she has carved out a little nook of the house all for herself where she can plan her next project or kick back and relax with some crafts.

Her painting is on point.

Though she whipped up this watercolor for her nephew Marcus just because he likes frogs, it’s clear she’s got somer serious skills. If we tried to paint a frog like that, well, you can bet you wouldn’t be able to tell it was a frog at first glance.

She draws, too.

One year, she even made her own nativity scene for the family — and her artwork of Mary and Joseph is incredibly impressive. Those clean lines alone blow us away, forget the actual drawings themselves.

But the finished product is pretty cool.

It’s relatively simple, but it looks so good that you probably couldn’t have guessed that it was homemade. But why thrift and save the difference when you can just design your holiday decorations yourself?

She could have her own house-flipping show.

She’s seriously handy when it comes to all different parts of the process. We’ve seen her build a platform for Abbie Grace Burnett to stand on during her wedding dress fitting, delegate construction tasks to her brothers, and perfect a room’s decor. Recently, she redid her parents’ master bedroom.

Just check out these before and afters.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar‘s room was pretty plain before Jana decided to step and put her own spin on things. She waited for her parents to go out of town before she could put her plan in action.

Now, it’s gorgeous.

The new cabinets and decor give it a light, airy feel — and it just makes everything look so much more clean and organized. That window seat is everything to us — and now we want to build one in our own homes.

She transformed this dark corner.

With the slant of the room, there’s not a lot you can do with this space, but Jana saw potential here and put the spot to use.

Now it’s nice and cozy.

Not only do the walls look free of clutter, but getting that dark dresser out of there leaves the light to really brighten up that space. And there’s still the little hidden spot where someone can sit at a desk if they need a little quiet time.

She knew that shower curtain needed to go.

We’re not sure who picked it out, and it doesn’t take someone with Jana’s skill set to see that it doesn’t match the rest of the room, but she came through and turned their bathroom into a little haven of relaxation.

It looks so much better now.

Though we’re still not done talking about Jim Bob and Michelle’s two shower heads. In fact, we may never be done talking about Jim Bob and Michelle’s two shower heads. Hopefully Jana just didn’t think about that part of the room too much — but the rest of it is beautiful.
