Simple Farmhouse Life

274. Recent changes I’ve made in my baking, our no-fuss approach to family goals, how I handle tantrums, and more Q&A!

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
