My client and now dear friend, Gail, has a fantastic new blog called "Real Talk." I'm thinking of adding a category with that name in her honor, and this will be its inaugural post.

For this post, I want you to imagine we're sitting down on the couch, face-to-face, and I'm speaking to you with all t...

More money, more problems? freedom money personal growth

I realized something important this week. I've been holding a pretty powerful belief about money, without really even realizing it. I made a list of all of the thoughts I had about the topic of money, and all of the "what ifs" came down to one statement: More money, more problems.

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.
