Integrating Faith Into Your Simple Life

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/11/03

Sometimes, the more complicated life gets, the easier it is for faith to be tucked into the corners instead of standing front and center. It’s not that we ever mean for that to happen. It just seems like the busyness of schedules, chores, unexpected events, and the little emergencies that pop up, all have a way of crowding in. Before we realize it, our days are running us instead of us running our days. If you are struggling to find a way to incorporate a little more faith in your simpl...

Showing Yourself Gratitude

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/09/29

There is one area of gratitude we don’t talk about very often, and that’s the kind we need to extend to ourselves. Just saying that out loud might make some of us a little uncomfortable, and dare I say it, feel as if it’s ‘self-centered’. But – are you ready for this? Brace yourself, because I’m here to tell you—it’s not. It’s not selfish, prideful, or self-serving. Not in the least. Join me on the porch today as we talk about the value and importance of offering ourselves the grace of gratit...

Teach Your Children How to Be Grateful

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/09/22

Gratitude is a lot like a seed. You can hold it in your hand, admire its potential, and even carry it around with you - but until you plant it and tend to it, it doesn’t really grow. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s this: if we want to grow grateful hearts in our children, we have to do more than tell them to say “thank you.” We have to show them what it means to live a thankful life. Listen in and find ways to help you cultivate gratitude in your child – and how it ...

Showing Gratitude Within Your Community

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/09/15

When we think about gratitude, we usually picture quiet moments - those still, peaceful pauses where we reflect and give thanks. But that’s just one facet of the glittering gem we call ‘gratitude’. In this podcast, we’ll take a look at gratitude from another angle. Not the kind that stays tucked neatly in your heart or scribbled in a journal, but the kind that moves. The kind that rolls up its sleeves, steps outside the door, and says, “How can I show my thanks right here, right now, in this ...

Make it for YOU – Not just for others

2025/08/18

If you love to make things, chances are you’ve given most of your creations away. Gifts, holidays, little tokens of love. But when was the last time you made something just for you?

Handmade isn’t just about the Craft Room

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/08/11

We often think of handmade as something tucked away in the craft room—yarn, fabric, glitter, glue. But the truth is, a handmade life stretches far beyond those four walls. In this episode, we explore the beauty of everyday handmade living—from garden projects to homemade bread, mended shirts, and homegrown herbs. This isn’t about being crafty; it’s about being intentional. Join me for a warm conversation about how the most meaningful handmade moments are often the simplest, and how your hands...

The Stigma of Homemade

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/08/04

Let’s pull back the curtain on a topic that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough—the stigma of homemade. Somewhere along the way, store-bought became the gold standard, and handmade got tucked into the corner with a polite smile and a “Well, bless your heart.” But homemade isn’t second-best—it’s soulful, intentional, and brimming with meaning. Join me on the porch as we chat about how homemade got a bad rap, why it deserves a revival, and how each stitch, stir, and scribble we make is a qui...

The Power of Boredom

2025/07/21

I know it might sound just a little odd coming from someone who talks about living a simple life, but I’m a big fan of boredom. Not the kind where you're stuck in traffic or trapped in a waiting room without a magazine in sight - although those count, too. I mean the good kind. And there are some good things in the middle of boredom. Just listen in and find out what they are! Send us a text Support the show The Farm Wife (website) Let's Visit!

How to Reconnect in a Busy World

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/07/14

There are days when our slow, simple life gets swept up in a fast, loud, messy whirl of activity. The kind of day where your coffee goes cold before you can drink it, someone forgets to feed the dog, and the to-do list looks like it was written by a caffeinated squirrel. If this is your life, maybe it’s time to learn to reconnect, to relax and enjoy the life you have. Listen in and learn how to get back to that simple life you love!

What It Means to 'Unplug'

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View ·

2025/07/07

We’ve gotten so tangled up in our gadgets and gizmos that we don’t even realize how loud the world has become. It hums and buzzes and dings and beeps. Our calendars yell at us with reminders, our phones light up like fireflies in a jar, and we’ve got more tabs open—on our browsers and in our brains—than we know what to do with.

There’s something about pie that just says home. Not the store-bought kind with the perfect crimped edges and the glossy labels—but the kind your mama or your granny used to make. The kind with a little flour on the countertop, maybe a thumbprint in the crust where someone pressed too hard, and the aroma that floats out of the oven and wraps around your soul like a quilt on a chilly morning. Listen in and find out why the Pie Bird sings, and how baking a pie is like sending a little love note...

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!
