My goal is to remove the overwhelm and show you how homemade sourdough bread can easily fit into your life, even if you don’t think you have time. Join me for the first part in this sourdough Q&A series!
In this episode, we cover:
How to make your bread taste more or less sour
Can flour type change the taste of your final product?
Storage options for homemade bread
Why does my sourdough bread have a gooey texture?

I am a firm believer that education does not take place exclusively within the walls of a classroom during certain hours of the day. I loved chatting with Lyndsey again on the podcast about the freedom that comes with prioritizing an environment of learning in your home instead of strict parameters around when and how school must happen. Lyndsey shares why year-round schooling gives her family more flexibility and how their daily rhythm fluctuates with the seasons. Whether you are already in the thick of homeschooling or thinking about getting started, let this episode encourage you and take the pressure off!
In this episode, we cover:
How Lyndsey and her husband self-designed and self-built their new home and involved their children in the process
What it looks like to homeschool year-round and why it’s so freeing
How a typical day in the life of a year-round homeschooling family may shift with the seasons
Debunking some common misconceptions about how a homeschool day unfolds
Viewing your family as a community that works together
Making intentional choices to turn everyday tasks into learning opportunities for your children
Considering the opportunity cost of prioritizing a rigid bookwork schedule in your education
Encouragement for the mom who is nervous to start homeschooling
Changing your perspective on what education can look like in chaotic seasons of life
Practical considerations for how to set up your home to support a home-centered life
