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

104. Bringing Back Old Fashioned Winter Meals

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

103. Eating More Protein on a Budget as a Family of 5

The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking,... ·

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

102. Winter Family Time Without Screens

The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking,... ·

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

2026/01/12

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

The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking,... ·

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

Have you ever tried to add one more thing to your homestead but felt like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. 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. I’ve been there, but knock on wood, the last few years have been pretty good for us as far as sickness, and I’ve come to realize that we’re not

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

If you’re anything like me, this time of year can feel like your plate is full. Besides chores, school, kids’ activities, there’s everything that comes with changing seasons and holidays approaching. I know the days can get long and the to-do list even longer. And while putting healthy homemade meals on the table is high on my priority list, sometimes it feels like it’s just out of reach, and then I’m sitting there kicking myself again that we didn’t have a vegetable on the table.

I am always a huge advocate for buying food in bulk when it saves you money. And with the price of meat at the grocery store, buying half a cow can be a great way to save a lot of money on beef. In the process, you are also able to stock your freezer and know exactly where your meat comes from, but the details might feel a little overwhelming. How much does it cost? How much freezer space do you need? Maybe you’re just not quite sure what you’d be getting yourself into. In today’s episode, I am

I know sometimes this homesteading, homemaking, mom-life thing can feel a lot. Between homeschooling, cooking from scratch, keeping up with the garden, and trying to make sure everyone has clean clothes, it’s easy to lose sight of joy in the middle of all the doing. Maybe you’ve been there too, where your days start to feel more like survival mode than anything else. You love your family, you love your home, but you just feel tired.

And sometimes it feels like no matter how careful you are, there’s always another thing you’re supposed to buy.

I think every mom wrestles with this at some point—the pressure to “do it all.” You know what I mean, keeping the house clean, cooking healthy meals, homeschooling or running kids to activities, looking put-together, maybe even working or having a side hustle on top of it, not to mention homesteading goals like gardening, baking, or canning. Somewhere along the way, culture told us that being a “good mom” means juggling it all perfectly, all the time. But truly, none of us can do it all, and the

I just don’t have the time or the bandwidth to do something different. And I get it — life is busy, and convenience foods promise to make things easier. But here’s the thing, a lot of those “shortcuts” actually cost us more money, they fill our kitchens with ingredients we can’t even
