  • 278. Don’t Overcomplicate Sourdough: Simple, Attainable Strategies for Delicious Bread Every Day | Anja of Our Gabled Home

    If you are intimidated by sourdough, you might be believing some common myths!  I’m thrilled to have Anja joining me again on the podcast to talk about the very simple processes we use to make sourdough products an everyday staple in our homes.  Anja grew up eating and baking sourdough with her mother, so it is a process she has spent decades becoming comfortable with.  We hope to encourage you not to overcomplicate the sourdough process.  Keep things simple, and find a rhythm that works for you.  Sourdough is an adaptable and forgiving process that offers incredible nutritional benefits, so it is definitely worth learning!

    In this episode, we cover:

    • A step-by-step look at Anja’s German sourdough process that makes sourdough simple for anyone
    • Addressing the ways that people overcomplicate sourdough
    • Walk through Anja’s simple same-day freshly-milled sourdough loaf 
    • Incorporating different types of freshly-milled whole grains into your baking
    • Debunking the myth that experimenting with sourdough wastes ingredients and time
    • You can leave behind these fears when it comes to starting sourdough
    • Why sourdough baking is more of an intuitive process than an exact one
    • You can shorten the sourdough process by skipping THIS unnecessary step
    • This mindset shift around baking with freshly-milled whole grains makes all the difference
    • Sourcing and storing multiple varieties of ancient and modern grains in your home
    • Choosing the right grain mill and accounting for the cost of the investment

        • 275. Your Messy Home + God’s Grace: Release the Shame and Finally Make Progress | Dana K. White of A Slob Comes Clean

          As a homeschooling mother of eight who runs our family business from home, the only way I am able to keep our home from spiraling out of control is by constantly decluttering. I talk often about this topic because I am so convinced of the positive impact minimalism has on every area of our lives. As a fellow “naturally unorganized” person, Dana has been on a years-long journey of decluttering and organizing that has set her free from the constant overwhelm of a messy home. In this conversation, we are diving into how faith and our homes are connected. If you are working towards decluttering, let this episode inspire you and take away the shame of feeling like a failure at tidiness.

          In this episode, we cover:

          • Where you need to start if you are not a naturally organized person
          • This one organizational concept will transform the way you think about your possessions
          • Does keeping a clean home have anything to do with faith?
          • How even well-intentioned accumulating can get out of control
          • Frugality might actually be causing you to overwhelm your home with clutter
          • Does your home reveal the state of your heart?
          • This tiny mindset shift will transform your home
          • Implement these two small habits TODAY to start seeing immediate results in your home
          • A simple method of storing kids’ clothes from one child to the next
          • If your whole home is cluttered and you don’t know where to start, do this first

            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!

            • 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

            • 273. What is the BEST way to educate your children? Is homeschooling right for everyone? | Hannah Frankman

              What is wrong with our current educational system? And how can we provide our children with a high-quality education in spite of the pervasive issues? In addition to being a lifelong homeschooled student herself, Hannah Frankman uses her podcast to explore the issues in our current school system and creative solutions to provide our children an education that suits their actual needs. I love talking about homeschooling on this podcast, but this episode adds a new dimension to the conversations I have been having. Hannah addresses the question: is homeschooling right for every family? What about socialization? What is the history of the public school system and why does that matter to us today? If you have been on the fence about homeschooling or have questions about what it could look like in your own family, don’t miss this fascinating conversation with Hannah.

              In this episode, we cover:

              • The unique capabilities Hannah noticed in herself as she entered the “real world” after being homeschooled her whole life
              • What busyness is robbing from our children and society as a whole
              • How boredom is actually a gift to children
              • What a self-directed curiosity-driven education can look like from early years through high school
              • Making a case for why homeschooled kids are actually more socialized than their public school peers
              • Where did the public school model come from and what is broken about it?
              • Analyzing national outcomes of the public school experiment
              • How well-intentioned teachers are set up to fail by the public school system
              • Hannah’s surprising opinion on the BEST schooling option for children
              • No matter what educational path you choose, THIS is the ultimate goal of all education

                    If you could use a refreshing perspective on education in your home, this episode is for you! Whether you are already a homeschooling parent or you are considering it, Julie’s wisdom on delight-directed learning will encourage you to embrace a homeschooling life that truly serves your family and your unique children. We can reject the societal pressures to prioritize academic achievement and instead tune into the innate desires and giftings of each of our children. Join us for this rich discussion full of practical advice and inspiring vision!

                    In this episode, we cover:

                    • What a typical school day looks like as a family who embraces delight-directed learning
                    • At what point do children start to pursue their own interests?
                    • The role of a parent in a child’s natural drive to learn
                    • Why a laidback approach to supporting your child in the pursuit of their interests is a gift to them
                    • How to navigate kids’ technology use as they independently pursue their interests
                    • Shifting our mindset about what education is required for a successful life
                    • The importance of keeping the long-term goal of education in mind
                    • Recognizing each child’s unique giftings and tailoring their education to their needs
                    • Practical examples of walking with our children as they figure out their passions
                    • Advice for parents who worry that their children don’t have interests to pursue
                    • Approaching friendships and social life as a homeschooling family
                    • This is your permission to create a homeschool schedule that works for your individual family

                    • 269. Leaving the farmhouse, what I wish I’d known as a young mom, why we are minimalists, and more Q&A!

                      If you have been following along recently, you know that we sold our beloved farmhouse and are preparing to build our dream home on our new farm property.  I’ve received lots of questions about why we bought a temporary home while we build and what our plans are for the future.  I’m sharing an update on how the move went and what the next steps are!  I’m also sharing encouragement for the younger mom.  There are so many things I allowed myself to feel guilty about in my early motherhood, and I want to offer you perspective and permission to let those things go.  Join me for this personal update and mini pep talk!

                      In this episode, we cover:

                      • Answering some common questions about selling our farmhouse, moving into town, and building on our new property
                      • My approach to caring for multiple small children at once without losing my mind
                      • Why our recent move was more stressful than I anticipated and how I tackled the chaos
                      • What I have learned over the years about managing the items our kids are constantly bringing into the house
                      • Getting into the practicals of how I dress my kids to spend ample time outdoors on the coldest of days
                      • Freeing you from the guilt that you are not doing enough for your kids
                      • The one homemaking task I never tire of
                      • My thoughts on keeping up with memories and milestones as a mother of eight kids
