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.

Enter your name and email address to officially join the community and receive our weekly newsletter, full of honest insights and ideas for making motherhood + work from home a hearty (and delicious!) part of your life. You'll also get access to "The Pantry," a full stock of complimentary training, tools, and resources for helping you work from home successfully. In addition, you'll be invited to register for workshops and courses (no cost to you) to give you the skills and training on various work-from-home functions and specialties.

What does it cost?
You won't pay a dime for any of the content within the membership portal. The only investment required is your time, energy, and action -- which, as a mom, is far more valuable than any dollar amount.

What's the catch? Sounds too good to be true.
No catch. I've been blessed to have some incredible friends and mentors who taught me what I know, and this is my way of paying it forward (I have a lot of it to do).

That said, out of full transparency, my dream is to expand my network of women like me -- women who love the Lord and view motherhood as a sacred calling, and who also believe in the importance of developing their own strengths and gifts through work. Women who are willing to push beyond their comfort zones and perceived cultural "norms." Women who feel called to "something bigger."

How is this project funded, then?
All content creation and development is donated by my firm, Elegant Geekery, with production and administrative funding from sponsors. You will also find affiliate links for programs and products I use, but only those that I fully endorse.
