Building a house from scratch has been such an adventure—full of surprises, lessons, and all the little details that bring a space to life. I’m sharing where we are in the process, how we’re blending old and new to create a home with real character, and answering your questions about pregnancy, motherhood, and home birth. If you’re in the thick of family life or just love chatting all things home and babies, I think you’ll really enjoy this summer life update!
In this episode, we cover:
- Framing progress on the build and why we’re showing up daily to avoid costly mistakes
- Lessons from past renovations where small contractor assumptions caused big regrets
- Mixing salvaged doors and painted porch floors to achieve an authentic “new old” house feel
- Where we’re sourcing vintage windows and antique doors—and what’s worth buying new
- Deciding to include a range hood for health reasons and adding a wood-fired cookstove for winter
- My experience getting pregnant while nursing and what our typical age gaps have looked like
- How I’ve learned to manage the baby stage more smoothly with a larger family and older helpers
- Encouragement for moms feeling maxed out with littles—why it won’t always feel this hard
- How we evaluate home birth safety, from ultrasound decisions to midwife experience
- Why some pregnancies feel harder than others, even when everything seems the same
