From my dog: 5 lessons on forgiveness freedom relationships

This is a video I recorded a few years ago, whose lessons I still think about. Here's a quick recap, in case you are short on time:

Lesson 1: Set preventative boundaries.
Lesson 2: If you call them stupid, say you're sorry.
Lesson 3: Do the work to clean it up.

When you're at the beginning of a new journey, endeavor, project, or goal, it's hard to look at everything that's currently on your "to do" list and imagine how you'll ever find the time and energy to make it happen. But you do. You probably have before, and you will! Because capacity is elastic.

The Homemade Bread Manifesto

Working from home while raising kids can be messy and challenging, but also wonderfully rewarding. We are women who embrace all of it.

The Homemade Bread Society is all about...

Not fitting into a one-size-fits-all mold of how our motherhood, womanhood, and careers should be. Just like all of the different kinds of bread--Yeast, quick, fry, flat, rolls, loaves, muffins, pretzels, donuts--all formed from pretty much the same ingredients; just different combinations, quantities, and cooking methods. Just like us!

Striving for things that challenge us beyond our comfort zones. (example... one of my most devastating kitchen experiences was over an attempted loaf of "simple" white bread).

Infusing wholesome learning + growing experiences all throughout our homes and communities (have you smelled homemade bread!? HEAVEN.)

Creating lasting memories with our kids, that they'll carry through life and into their own future families.

Following basic principles, but adding our own edits to make it work for our talents and tastes.

Slowing down and doing some things the old-fashioned way (i.e. taking time to let the ingredients work together, rather than rushing just to check things off of a list)

Creating connection and sharing with others (there's always an extra loaf to give away).

Making space for God to work with us, through our Savior, Jesus Christ (the bread of life)

Exchanging the quick and easy for the messier, more challenging, but SO much more rewarding results.

Total engagement -- rolling up our sleeves and getting in with both of our hands.

Embracing the mess and allowing room for the magic.
