From laundry bottlenecks to housing market realities, I’m diving into your current questions in the midst of our busy build season. I’m sharing why we skip chore charts and budgets, how I fix sticky whole grain dough, and what postpartum has typically looked like for me. I also talk through common questions about our debt-free journey of homeownership, why two washers wouldn’t help our laundry system, and how we’re handling homeschool without a dedicated schoolroom. Plus, my go-to sourdough recipes this summer that keep us well-fed without keeping me in the kitchen all day! In this episode, we cover:
- Living in the fullness of a busy season and what it feels like to build a house while pregnant with baby nine
- Chore charts and budgets? Not in this house— why intuitive, all-hands-on-deck rhythms work better for our family
- Sticky sourdough solved: why flour weight and rest time make all the difference especially with freshly-milled grains
- Postpartum struggles that I haven’t walked through myself but hold compassion for
- Debt-free build questions and why I’m quieter these days about the specifics
- An honest look at our journey through the housing market over the years and what younger families are really up against
- Many of you suggested this, but here is why two washers/dryers wouldn’t solve our real laundry bottleneck
- Why we are not adding a designated homeschool room to our new build as a large homeschooling family
- Summer sourdough lineup to make our days easier— bagels, half whole grain loaf, and hamburger buns on repeat
