In today’s Q&A episode, I’m sharing exciting updates on our farmhouse build, including the unique pantry design I’ve been working on and how we’re planning for long-term living in our new home. I also dive into how I manage those pesky ticks and mosquito bites while prioritizing plenty of free-range outdoor time for my kids. Plus, I answer your questions about managing daily chores with littles in tow and how to stay motivated to decorate when you know your living situation is temporary. If you're looking for inspiration in homemaking, family life, and parenting, this episode is packed with practical tips and relatable insights.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Progress on our new farmhouse build, with the basement completed and framing expected soon
  • Answering your questions about the pantry design with lots of windows and a plan for climate-controlled food storage
  • Planning to ensure the new farmhouse is fully functional for long-term living
  • Tick and mosquito prevention tips for families who prioritize outdoor time year-round
  • Tips for balancing daily chores with raising young kids and prioritizing outdoor time
  • Finding the right balance between social opportunities and creating a calm, stress-free home
