Join me for another listener Q&A where I’m sharing my plans for the new year, my secret for hosting large groups in our home, my approach to Christmas gifts as a decluttering mom, and more thoughts on business, motherhood, homemaking, and simplifying life.

In this episode, we cover:
- A recap of our exciting year– leaving our homestead, building our dream farm, launching a cookbook
- What my personal and business priorities are in the new year
- My best advice for hosting friends in your home if you are worried about the mess
- What we do with the influx of gifts for our kids at Christmas (is it okay to get rid of gifts?)
- The reason I haven’t taken any business courses as I have built my online business
- Troubleshooting my popular eggy oatmeal recipe so the eggs don’t scramble
- Is it the right time to start a business on the side when you are a brand new mom?
- If you think your kitchen is too small to start milling whole grains, I have encouragement for you
