2026/04/06

When fall comes around it's apple time—apple crisp, pie, applesauce, baked apples, all those yummy treats I can't get enough of. But if apples are a fall treat, why are we talking trees now? Because spring is the perfect time to plant them. And yes, you won't pick fruit this year, but like I've learned the hard way, getting them in the ground sooner means harvest sooner, 3-5 years instead of waiting forever. Today I'm sharing our story: planting our apple trees, the varieties we chose and why, and

2026/03/16

Have you ever felt like you just wish you could be “there” already? And I know for some of you, when I say “there”, you already have a picture in your mind. “There” is being home full-time with your kids, homeschooling at the kitchen table instead of rushing out the door. “There” is a little more space, maybe a few acres, a real garden instead of pots on a patio, a couple of animals in the backyard instead of just saving Instagram posts. And when you’re in a rental, in town, working a job you wish

We've all been there. Your husband is working late, traveling, sick... whatever the case, it's all on you to put the kids to bed. Does the marathon of putting multiple small children to bed alone leave you too exhausted to even look at the dishes in the sink afterwards? I know I have been there, more times than I can count. But today, I want to share my strategies for getting kids to bed by yourself in under an hour so you can get your evenings back and keep your sanity as well. Thanks for

2026/03/02

Today we’re talking about something that I think every homestead mom quietly wrestles with… how do you save time without lowering your standards? Because while homestead life can be beautiful and meaningful. It’s not always easy or for the lazy. There is laundry that multiplies, bread to bake, food to preserve, floors that somehow always have dirt on them, and little people who need you all throughout the day. And somewhere in the middle of that, we start to feel the tension. We don’t want to cut

I think almost every mom who is trying to cook more from scratch runs into this at some point: you get comfortable with a handful of meals… and then you kind of stall out. You have some great recipes, but when it comes to trying something new? It can feel mentally exhausting or just plain risky. Like if this recipe doesn’t turn out, that’s dinner and there aren’t a lot of second chances on a busy Tuesday night with hungry kids. In this episode we talk about how to expand your recipe box without

2026/02/16

Something that doesn’t get said out loud very often is there can be loneliness in homesteading and homemaking. Not the kind of loneliness that comes from needing a night out with friends, but the kind that shows up when you’re choosing a slower, more intentional life and realize not many people around you are walking the same path. When you love the life you’re building, but still feel alone in it. Whether you live rurally or not, whether you homestead, homeschool, stay home with your kids, or just

2026/02/09

Let’s bring back old-fashioned winter meals, meals that are hearty and comforting, the kind of meals many of us remember from our grandparents’ tables. There’s a lot of confusion around food right now: what’s “healthy,” what to avoid, what to limit, and winter meals often get caught in the middle of that, because you what people like to eat in winter? Fat. But there’s a lot of wisdom in the way families used to eat seasonally, and that’s what I unpack in this episode.Thanks for

2026/02/02

One thing I don’t think we talk about enough is how much protein moms actually need and how many of us aren’t getting nearly enough of it. Between pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, chasing kids, managing homes, and carrying the mental load of family life, our bodies are doing a lot of work every single day, whether you realize it or not. But when it comes to meals, protein is often the first thing to fall to the wayside. In this episode, I talk about eating more protein on a budget, especially

2026/01/19

We are in the thick of winter right now and you might have found yourself reaching for your phone or your remote a little more often. Winter has a way of stretching our evenings long and making screens feel like the easiest option to entertain us, pass the time, and keep the kids occupied. When it’s cold, dark, and especially if everyone’s been together all day, it’s tempting to default to tablets, TVs, or phones just to get through until bedtime. And if that’s been your rhythm lately, that’s okay

A new year means a new calendar, fresh goals, and all the pressure that seems to come with it. Everywhere you look, it’s “new year, new you,” and sometimes that can feel exciting and sometimes it can feel exhausting before the year has even really begun. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by resolutions, long to-do lists, or the expectation to completely overhaul your life in January, you’re not alone. Today, I want to offer a different way, a more gentle start to the new year that focuses on

Christmas is such a beautiful time of year. We talk about peace and joy… But as moms, there’s a lot of weight on us to make Christmas special, and sometimes it’s hard to feel that peace. If you’re the one doing most of the cooking, planning, wrapping, cleaning, and hosting, it can also feel like the season where everyone else rests, and you just work harder.In this episode I talk about what it looks like to serve joyfully at Christmas without burning out.

98. Why Less Meal Variety Can Be a Good Thing

2025/12/15

One thing that I never thought about before kids is how much time and effort it takes to feed everyone and put 3 meals on the table each day. There are times when meal planning can feel like a full-time job all on its own. As moms, we’re already juggling chores, kids, and all the little details of daily life. And then there’s dinner—every single night. Deciding what to cook, gathering ingredients, prepping, cooking, cleaning…it can be a lot. It’s easy for it to get overwhelming, but it doesn’t have

2025/12/08

It’s one thing to grow your own food, take care of animals, and cook from scratch, but it’s another thing entirely to open your door and invite people into your real, lived-in home. Yet hospitality has always been such an important part of homemaking and biblical community. It’s a ministry we get to offer, not when everything is perfect, but right in the middle of real life.Scripture reminds us that welcoming others is one of the simplest ways we can show the love of Christ, and it doesn’t require

I am willing to bet that at one point or another you have looked at your to-do list, glanced around at the dishes, the laundry, your garden outside, and the kids asking for a snack again, and thought, “How am I supposed to get any of this done?” You are absolutely not alone! We’re living in a world that is more distracting than ever. Social media, constant notifications, comparison,

Whether you like it or not, winter is just around the corner. Once the true cold sets in and the snow hits, that means the balancing act begins, trying to keep everyone healthy while staying indoors more and battling the never-ending runny noses. I know as moms, it can feel like we’re constantly on guard, waiting for the next bug to sweep through the house.

2025/11/10

When you think back on the holidays growing up, I’m willing to bet, the thing you remember most is not the decorations, not the presents, but the thing you remember most is the food. The smell of scalloped potatoes and ham in the oven, have half a dozen choices for pie, the treat tray of homemade goodies that would come out in the afternoon. Those are the memories that stick. But somewhere along the way, chances are after Grandma wasn’t making the meal anymore, our modern holiday season became so
