2025/06/23

There are sermons you hear on Sunday morning and ones whispered through your grandmother’s kitchen on a quiet afternoon. I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard some of my best sermons - not from a pulpit, but from a bowl of dough and a warm oven. And if there’s one food that’ll preach, it’s a good, old-fashioned yeast roll. Listen in to this week’s ‘sermon’ and discover where faith and yeast rolls meet in the middle!

When was the last time you had a good, old-fashioned baking day? Not just whipping up a quick banana bread while the laundry tumbles and the kids are hollering, but a real baking day. The kind where the windows fog up from the oven’s heat, the counters are covered in flour, and the radio hums a tune older than your favorite apron. Maybe it’s time to get back to a Baking Day Revival. It’s easy – just start with slowing down and whipping up some muffins, memories & messes! Paradise Muffin...

Grandma’s Kitchen Wisdom: Biscuits That Hug You Back

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/06/09

There’s something about biscuits that just feels like home. Not the kind you pop from a can and pray won’t explode in your hand, or the ones that come in a plastic bag found in the freezer section of your grocery store. No, I’m talking about real biscuits. The kind Grandma made without ever glancing at a recipe card. Where measurements were eyeballed, flour dust danced in the morning light, and the rolling pin had stories to tell.

At the Starting Line: The Beauty of Sourdough

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/06/02

Put on your aprons and head to the starting line with the humble, hearty, and sometimes hilariously unpredictable world of sourdough. Now, I know what you’re thinking. Sourdough? Really? Haven’t we seen enough mason jars of bubbling starter and loaves scored like fine artwork to last us a lifetime? Probably – and to be honest, mine never turn out that artistic. But stick with me, because we’re not going to talk about sourdough like it’s the next big foodie trend. We’re going to talk about it ...

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/05/26

When we think about homemaking, we often focus on the daily tasks - the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and everything else that’s required to manage our homes well. But when we step back and really look at the bigger picture, homemaking is about so much more. It’s about the atmosphere we create, the memories we build, and the lessons we pass down. Long after we are gone, our homes will continue to tell our stories. They will hold the echoes of laughter, the warmth of love, and the subtle but pow...

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/05/19

Too many people think that homemaking isn’t really a profession, job, or worthwhile end goal. I mean, all it takes to run a home is to do a few loads of laundry, cook meals, and do a bit of tidying up, right? But we as homemakers know better. There’s more to homemaking than stirring a pot or pushing a vacuum. There’s budgeting, problem-solving, time management, conflict resolution, meal planning, and so much more. Years ago, Home Economics was a real college degree. Today, our academic societ...

Homemaking: A Multi-faceted Diamond

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/05/05

Homemaking is a lot like a diamond. It’s not just one thing - it’s a collection of skills, responsibilities, and heartwarming moments that come together to create something truly special. If you think about it, a diamond shines because of its many facets. Each one catches the light in a different way, reflecting its brilliance from every angle. And in the same way, homemakers have multiple facets—each one an essential part of what makes a home function smoothly and feel warm and welcoming. Se...

The Art of Handwork in a Simple Life

2025/04/28

There’s something about the rhythmic motion of a needle pulling thread through fabric or the soft clickety-clack of knitting needles that just soothes the soul. In today’s fast-paced world, we often look for ways to slow down, to reconnect with ourselves and our roots, and handwork is a beautiful way to do just that. It’s practical, creative, and—let’s be honest—there’s just something deeply satisfying about making something with your own two hands. Listen in to learn more about the ‘old-fash...

The Art of Barter and Trade

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/04/21

Take a step back in time—back before dollar bills, bank accounts, and credit cards dictated the way we live. Before we became so dependent on money, communities thrived on something far simpler: bartering and trading. It was the first economy, built not on numbers in a ledger but on relationships, trust, and the value of a hard day’s work. And the funny thing is, even though we’ve moved so far away from it, there’s still a lot we can learn from it today. Send us a text Support the show The Fa...

2025/04/14

We all dream of having a garden like Grandma and Grandpa did. Lush. Green. Loaded with fresh food. Our memories take us back to visions of Grandma snapping beans on the porch. And we ask ourselves, “How did they do it?” One way was with tools they couldn’t hold them in their hands. Those tools were the moon and stars.

Remembering what you’ve gone through, the hardships and the successes, combined with the skills you learned from your parents and grandparents can help when you face obstacles today.

Simply Prepping: The Necessities of Life

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/03/31

We often think about necessities in terms of what we can touch and hold—things like food, water, shelter, and the supplies we might stockpile for the future. While those are certainly important, what if I told you that the real necessities extend beyond the material? And that the key to living a truly fulfilling life—one that blends the best of prepping and simple living—is to recognize that your mental and emotional needs matter just as much, if not more?
