After six years of podcasting, I’m sharing why this will be the final episode of the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. I’m also giving a personal life update, what’s next for my business, and answering a few of your questions on sourdough, from-scratch cooking, and motherhood! In this episode, we cover: - The decision to sunset the podcast after six years and the thought process behind finally letting it go - A look at the natural course of business: years of building, a season of maintaining, and now intentionally pruning - An exciting home building update: nearing the end of our long build and preparing to move within weeks - Q&A on cooking from scratch and fermenting foods even in a very small space like an RV - Practical ideas for making sourdough work in a colder home and how to adjust timing based on temperature - Encouragement around speech development and the wide range of “normal” seen across my nine children - A look back at cloth diapering in earlier years versus choosing convenience in a different season - Thinking through room sharing in a large family and why personality and season matter more than exact age - How to handle sick kids, competing needs of small children, and getting through hard moments when you don’t have extra help - One final goodbye and what’s next for us View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.
