Life in this season feels full of change– new babies, teenagers gaining independence, and the daily rhythms that keep our large family moving forward. In this episode, I share my real experiences with co-sleeping, freshly milled wheat, toys and clutter, pregnancy challenges, car seats, and the everyday questions you’ve asked about homemaking and homesteading. I also talk about the farmhouse build alongside my sister, our different approaches to decision-making, and the long-term dreams I have for life on the farm. Join me for this Q&A style conversation where your questions guide the discussion and I share the simple, intentional rhythms that shape our home and family!
In this episode, we cover:
- My experience with co-sleeping through many babies, how my approach has shifted, and the safe sleep setups that work best for us
- Why I use freshly milled wheat in my baking and whether I’ve noticed any health differences in our family
- How we approach toys and gifts in our home— letting the kids enjoy them fully and then decluttering when the interest fades
- Pregnancy challenges I’ve faced, including varicose veins, and the simple things that help like magnesium and extra rest
- Our current car seat setup with a new baby on the way, plus the big milestone of having a teenager with a driver’s license and how quickly family dynamics shift
- Everyday homemaking and homestead questions— from spiders and ticks to kids’ haircuts, dishwashers, and the routines that keep our large family moving
- My thoughts on building our farmhouse at the same time as my sister, the differences between how we approach home decisions, and the long-term dreams I have for animals on our farm
- Listener questions on sourdough starters, selling our house plans, and other homemaking challenges, all bringing me back to simple, intentional rhythms
