I wanted to give a personal update today - I haven't shared much about what's been happening behind the scenes with the podcast and my own life, and there's a lot to tell.

Our fifth baby is on the way (I'm about 17 weeks), and while this pregnancy has brought some unexpected challenges, we're so excited. I've been mostly horizontal these past months, but that hasn't stopped our family from dreaming and doing. The kids have been incredible - helping with everything from digging out tree stumps to managing our new two-tier garden.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

• The projects we tackled this past year (including a rock climbing wall and that garden story!)

• Our vision for transforming our yard into an edible landscape

• How homeschooling has clicked in a whole new way

• What's really happening with the podcast while I'm learning to work from bed

• Why I'm finding more joy in home life than ever before

For those who've been around a while and feel like we're friends (some of us are!), this one's for you.

P.S. The beta group for the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit opens next week to just 10 people. Join the waitlist at thrivinginmotherhoodpodcast.com/toolkit.
