Ballerinas don't start out on the stage courage enough personal growth trust

No ballerina has started out doing pirouettes or leaping across the stage on pointe. Each one starts with a barre and big mirrors, with simple directives like, "First position. Now plié. Point those toes!"

The muscles required to do the big performances down the road have to grow one session at a tim...

Sunrise sometimes happens without colors. It's enough. choosing happiness enough

This morning, the sky was covered in clouds and the sun rose without any kind of fanfare. But it still rose.

Some days are like that. Gray, unimpressive, "mid," as my 13-year old would say.

But that's still enough.

We can still move forward, progressing toward our goals and finding beauty in the thi...

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.
