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

If you’ve ever dreamed of leaving the suburbs for a slice of quiet country life, this episode will speak right to your heart. Author Melissa Ferguson joins me to share the real-life inspiration behind her new children’s book, Our Friendly Farmhouse—a sweet and whimsical reflection of her family’s journey from cul-de-sac to countryside. We talk about building a home from scratch, traveling with a big family, and slowly creating a homestead that feels peaceful, practical, and full of charm. Melissa offers encouragement and budget-friendly tips for anyone in the thick of building, dreaming, or simply trying to make thoughtful choices in the season they’re in.

In this episode, we cover:

• Melissa Ferguson returns to share the inspiration behind her debut children’s book, Our Friendly Farmhouse, which tells a whimsical version of her family’s move from suburbia to the country
• How a spontaneous land auction and a last-minute bid from her brother-in-law launched their homesteading journey
• The process of building their home from scratch—leveraging her husband’s experience as a builder and funding parts of the project through social media brand deals
• Reflections on the early stages of their homestead—living in town during the build, missing the land, and making daily visits to the property
• A rich conversation about traveling with a big family—carry-on-only tips, spontaneous trips, dividing and conquering, and how animals (especially dairy cows) impact travel flexibility
• Melissa’s best budget-saving build strategies: buying materials on Black Friday, repurposing gym flooring, and skipping high-end finishes in favor of upgrades over time
• Thoughtful advice on design choices—prioritizing natural light, southern exposure, adaptable floor plans, and creating cozy, lived-in charm
• Honest reflections on what she might do differently: adding a tornado shelter, skipping carpet, and not letting a gifted vanity dictate an entire bathroom design
• Why they chose to build slowly, add animals over time, and prioritize flexibility over going “all in” from the beginning
• The value of outdoor gathering spaces—daily porch coffee with her husband, chalk art and pickleball in the driveway, and simple spots that invite rest and connection

Life is full right now—between preparing for a new baby, building our dream home, and navigating the everyday rhythms of raising a big family. In this Q&A episode, I’m sharing how we’re handling baby sleep, toddler bedtime battles, room sharing, and pool days with non-swimmers—plus a few thoughts on off-grid readiness, Instant Pot meals, and how I’m embracing this once-in-a-lifetime season, even when it feels overwhelming.

In this episode, we cover:

• A real-life update on what it’s like building a house with toddlers (hint: it’s not relaxing)
• Thinking about generators, drafts, and wood stoves… and what we’re actually prioritizing
• Why I love heating with wood—and the cozy setup we’ve included in the new house
• My kefir theory on baby gender (just for fun!) and whether we “tried” for a girl
• Navigating toddler bedtime battles and deciding when to hold the boundary
• My thoughts on babies and toddlers sharing rooms—and what’s worked for us
• Taking non-swimmers to the pool: how I manage it and when I’ve felt too outnumbered
• Where I land on sleep training, co-sleeping, and why I never feel like an expert
• Why having another baby girl doesn’t really change our bedroom plans—for now

So many of us worry we’re not doing enough when it comes to homeschooling—but what if simply choosing this path is already a powerful step in the right direction? In this encouraging conversation, I talk with Ginny Yurich of 1000 Hours Outside about her newest book and the deep confidence that can come from stepping outside the system. We explore how real learning often looks like play, boredom, creativity, and curiosity—how our kids naturally fill in the gaps over time, and how the freedom to pursue their own interests can lead to unexpected and incredible outcomes. If you’ve ever doubted your ability to homeschool well, this episode will remind you that you're doing more right than you think.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Ginny accidentally started a global movement—and why it resonates so deeply with families
• The heart behind her new book Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It
• What we miss when we follow the standard school model—and the surprising freedom of unlearning it
• The one message every anxious or burnt-out homeschool parent needs to hear
• What if the thing you’re worried is a “deficit” is actually your child’s biggest advantage?
• Why qualities like creativity and empathy will matter more than grades in the world our kids are growing up in
• What boredom, unstructured time, and “doing nothing” are actually teaching your child
• What’s lost when childhood is spent only with same-age peers—and what kids gain from growing up alongside babies and toddlers
• Why your kids need to see you building, learning, trying—and even failing
• Everyone has educational gaps... so what really matters in the long run?
• When you trust the process, learning shows up in the most beautiful and unexpected ways
• The amazing story of how Ginny’s daughter became a certified personal trainer at just 15
• Why homeschooling doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—and that’s the point

After a health scare in her twenties, Melissa K. Norris returned to her roots with traditional, from-scratch cooking—and never looked back.

We also chat about her updated cookbook Home and Handmade, a practical and inspiring guide for anyone wanting to cook with real ingredients and a whole lot of heart. Tune in for encouragement and doable ideas to make old-fashioned cooking work in your modern life!

In this episode, we cover:

I’m chatting with Christine from Frugal Fit Mom all about feeding your family well on a budget—without stressing over perfection. Christine shares her tried-and-true strategies for keeping grocery costs low in today’s economy, including how she stocks her pantry, finds the best meat deals, and plans meals based on what’s already on hand. We also dive into the hidden costs of organic and local food, why she skips most grocery delivery services, and how you can still enjoy fun foods without blowing the budget. Whether you’re shopping for two or ten, this episode is full of real-life tips you can start using today.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Christine avoids Instacart and prefers Walmart Pickup for cost savings

• The key pantry staples she stocks up on—and how that helps reduce impulse grocery runs

• Her method for spotting true stock-up prices on meat and stretching it to feed a large family

• How she feeds a family of five (including three teen boys) on as little as $200/month

• A realistic starting point for grocery budgeting: $150 per person per month

• Why she generally skips organic (aside from milk) and how local sourcing can dramatically increase grocery costs

• How reverse meal planning works and why it saves more than traditional recipe-first planning

• Tips for making frugal meals taste amazing with salt, fat, and acid

• Christine’s go-to bread recipe (not sourdough!) and how she keeps it soft for days
