Summary

I get many questions from young homemakers who are looking for practical tips or are in need of encouragement for the season they are in. I love offering my perspective as a homemaker of over 17 years. I have walked through many seasons of motherhood; I have made mistakes and celebrated victories. And I am still continuing to learn and adapt as my children grow and my circumstances change. If we were to sit down to coffee together, I would answer your questions in the exact way I’m answering them today on the podcast, so join me for another cozy Q&A coffee chat in this episode! In this episode, we cover: Some tips for baking with whole wheat flour if your loaves are too dense Have I stopped baking sourdough now that I’ve switched to freshly-milled grains? How our kids have felt about our recent move from our farm into town What I use to clean my home instead of making my own cleaner What parts of our upcoming build I will be sharing and why A recent switch I’ve made in my sourdough process– I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this! My (maybe controversial) opinion on kids throwing tantrums and what I do about it How I fit in self-care in this season of motherhood and how I did it in years past Do I worry about giving birth to more children as I approach my 40s? Our laidback approach to family goals and vision that has allowed us to achieve our dreams How to find your home decorating style and what to do when you make a mistake My three favorite tasks in my home and on the homestead If I could choose between living in town or living on a little bit of acreage in my early motherhood years, this is what I would choose View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.
