Building a new home that feels like it's been here for a hundred years has been a labor of love (and a learning curve!).  In this solo episode, I'm sharing the latest updates from our farmhouse build, what's been harder (and more rewarding) than expected, and the details that are truly making our home look historic.  From kitchen plans and farm goals to my favorite baby wrap, birth method, and thoughts on balancing homemaking and entrepreneurship, this conversation is a mix of practical tips and real-life reflection from my current season of life. In this episode, we cover: - An update on where we are in the farmhouse build and what has surprised us throughout this unique building process - How priming and painting every board, trim piece, and bit of crown molding has slowed the process but is worth it for the truly historic look - What I've learned about creating a historic-looking new build and why proportions matter more than you may think - Is it possible to build a “new old home” on a tighter timeline or with a smaller budget? - Some of my kitchen plans, including the Lacanche range and wood cookstove I've been dreaming of for cozy winter baking - What we plan to use our land for and how we are learning from my sister's full-time farm  - Why I'm such a staunch believer in babywearing and which wrap I'd choose if I could only have one - The reason I won't have a water birth and the method I swear by that's made my labors nearly pain-free - Thoughts on whether it's possible for moms to truly balance homeschooling, cooking, and homekeeping all at once - How Luke and I divide our work, homeschool, and business responsibilities in this season as a full-time entrepreneurial family View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Some hauntings terrify, others heal—and some do both.  In this unforgettable collection of true stories, we explore the powerful connection between the living and the dead: a woman visited in a dream by her late grandmother after a night of heartbreak, a rural Illinois family haunted by a ghost named Rudy who refused to leave his house, and a young CNA whose dying patient began seeing her departed sister—and somehow knew the nurse's grandmother's name. From the comforting touch of loved ones long gone to the chilling moments when spirits demand their homes back, these stories remind us that death doesn't always end the conversation.   Whether it's a voice whispering, footsteps on the stairs, or the final words of someone who can already see the other side, the line between here and there might be thinner than we think. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #Ghosts #TrueHaunting #ParanormalStories #GrandmotherSpirit #FarmhouseGhost #HauntedIllinois #CNAEncounters #MessagesFromTheBeyond #AfterlifeStories #RealGhostEncounters #SupernaturalPodcast Love real ghost stories?

In this episode, I'm chatting with Sarah Therese, a young mom of five who shares her journey of creating a peaceful, intentional home in the midst of real family life.

Join us for an encouraging conversation about rhythms, rest, and building a home that truly serves your family. In this episode, we cover: Why Sarah chose to pause her YouTube channel and how stepping back is helping her reset and find peace in her home life The hidden work behind filming homemaking content and how to balance authenticity with protecting children's privacy How living as a family of five in a 700-square-foot mobile home first shaped Sarah's minimalist mindset Bringing that same simplicity into a larger home and learning to create coziness through color and visual interest, not clutter The difference a minimized wardrobe makes in the ease of starting the day and necessitates greater intentionally in shopping Simple systems that keep kids' clothes organized: grow-in bins, small drawers, and one load of laundry a day Why Sarah sees homemaking and motherhood as one calling, and how she invites her children into daily work beside her The few kitchen tools she relies on to make everything from scratch without cluttering her counters The importance of guarding your heart against comparison in motherhood and being the mom your unique kids need Why delegating and asking for help is not a sign of weakness but ultimately serves your family  The mindset that keeps overwhelm at bay— trusting rhythms, not perfection, to bring peace to the home View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

When her family moved into a charming old farmhouse in a small Arkansas town, it seemed picture-perfect: a wraparound porch, a small stream, and sunlight pouring through the big bedroom windows. But beneath the quaint country exterior was something deeply unsettling. The first sign came not to her, but to her best friend — a loud, melodic whistling that filled the room even though no one was there. Weeks later, she heard the same eerie whistle herself while showering in broad daylight. Then the nights turned terrifying. While sneaking in a late-night phone call with her boyfriend, the kitchen cabinets directly across from her room began slamming open and shut by themselves — loud enough for her boyfriend to hear through the phone. Even decades later, the experience remains vivid: the whistling that had no source, the violent cabinet doors, the unseen footsteps… and that impossible little figure that ran beneath the moonlight. Is it possible that some places hold onto echoes of things we can't explain? Or did they come face-to-face with something ancient hiding in the Arkansas hills? #TrueGhostStory #WhistlingGhost #HauntedFarmhouse #TrollInTheBackyard #RealHaunting #CabinetSlammingGhost #ArkansasHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedHouseStory #CreepyFarmhouse #UnexplainedCreatures #WhistlingInTheDark Love real ghost stories?

This is the chilling true ghost story of Hannah, a young mother who thought a quiet country farmhouse would be the perfect place to begin her new life. Freshly married, baby in her arms, she moved into the old white house with dreams of peace. What she found instead was a real haunting that nearly broke her. It began innocently, with a voice—playful, familiar, unmistakably calling her name from outside the kitchen window. But no one was there. Soon after, the sounds escalated: thunderous crashes from upstairs, like bodies hitting the floor, even when the rooms were empty. The most terrifying moment came one night when sharp knocks rattled the bathroom door—knocks that sounded exactly like her baby trying to reach her. She threw the door open in terror, only to find her son still fast asleep where she had left him. Within two months, Hannah and her family fled—leaving behind furniture, memories, and the question that still haunts her: Was it the land? A restless spirit? Or something far darker? If you believe in haunted houses, poltergeists, and shadows that call your name, this is one farmhouse story you won't forget. #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #ParanormalActivity #GhostVoices #ShadowPeople #Poltergeist #ScaryStory #ParanormalStories #Supernatural #FarmhouseHaunting #CreepyStories Love real ghost stories?

uisge beatha is the Gaelic term. We often overlook the water that is not only in our whiskey but it makes up us. I promise you will love this deep dive. So come on in the water is fine.Thewhiskeyshaman.comPatreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MWZ4dGp2MzlucjVvdw==Uisge beatha (pronounced approximately "ish-ka-ba-ha" or "ISH-ka BY-ah") is a Gaelic term meaning "water of life" from which the word "whiskey" ultimately derives. This ancient term, originally a translation of the Medieval Latin aqua vitae ("water of life"), was used by Irish monks and later evolved into variations like usquebaugh and ultimately the English "whisky". Meaning and OriginLatin Roots: The Gaelic term is a direct translation of the Latin aqua vitae. Early Use: Irish monks in the Middle Ages first applied the term uisce beatha to distilled spirits. Evolution: The term evolved phonetically and was anglicized into usquebaugh before becoming the "whisky" we know today. PronunciationIrish Gaelic: The pronunciation is often described as "ISH-ka BY-ah". Scottish Gaelic: Another variation is "ISH-ka BY-ah". Significance"Water of Life":The name highlights the perceived life-sustaining and medicinal properties of early distilled spirits, which were believed to have healing abilities. Direct Link to Whiskey:It is the direct etymological ancestor of the English word "whiskey" and "whisky". The journey from aqua vitae to whiskeyThe story of uisge beatha begins with the Latin term aqua vitae ("water of life"), which was used throughout medieval Europe to describe distilled alcohol. Irish monks and early distillation: During the Early Middle Ages, Irish monks who traveled throughout the Mediterranean brought distillation techniques back to Ireland. With no grapes available for wine, they adapted the process to ferment and distill grain and barley instead. This was the first creation of what we know as whiskey today. The monks translated the Latin aqua vitae into the Gaelic uisce beatha.Early medicinal use: The initial purpose of the distilled spirit was medicinal. It was used as a cure-all for ailments, a disinfectant for wounds, and a form of anesthesia. The annals of Clonmacnoise in Ireland record an instance in 1405 where a chieftain died from "taking a surfeit of aqua vitae," implying overconsumption of the spirit.Spread to Scotland: Irish monks, who were also instrumental in Christianizing Scotland, are believed to have carried the knowledge of distillation with them. By 1494, a record from the Scottish Exchequer noted an order of malt "to Friar John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae," an entry that confirms the practice was well-established by that time. The anglicization of the nameOver time, as the popularity of the distilled spirit grew, the long Gaelic name was shortened and adapted by English speakers.Early spellings: Early English forms included uskebeaghe (1581) and usquebaugh (1610), which were phonetic approximations of the Gaelic pronunciation.Final abbreviation: The process of abbreviation and mispronunciation eventually led to "whiskey" (or "whisky"), dropping the second half of the phrase.The "whiskey" vs. "whisky" divide: The variation in spelling between "whiskey" (Ireland and the United States) and "whisky" (Scotland and most other countries) emerged in the 19th century. During that period, the quality of some Scotch whiskies declined, leading Irish distillers to add the "e" to distinguish their perceived higher-quality product in the American market. Cultural significanceBeyond its medicinal origins, uisge beatha came to play a vital cultural role, reflecting the craftsmanship and resourceful nature of its makers.Farmhouse production: Distillation provided a way to use surplus grain and could be easily stored or traded.

Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Alan MacEachern about his book Becoming Green Gables: The Diary of Myrtle Webb and Her Famous Farmhouse. In 1909 Myrtle and Ernest Webb took possession of a Cavendish, Prince Edward Island farm—ordinary except that it was already known as the inspiration for Anne of Green Gables, written by Myrtle's cousin, L. M. Montgomery. The Webbs welcomed visitors to “Green Gables” and took in summer boarders, making their home central to PEI's growing tourist trade. In the 1930s the farm became the centerpiece of a new national park, though the family remained its caretakers for another decade. During these years Myrtle kept a diary. When she began in 1924, she was a forty-year-old homemaker managing a household of eight; by 1954, she was a seventy-year-old widow, no longer resident in what had become the most famous house in Canada.

Some houses feel wrong the moment you step inside. He learned that lesson the hard way in his mid-twenties, when he rented an old farmhouse. At first, it seemed harmless—cheap rent, plenty of space, just him and his dog. But the peace didn't last. It started small. Chairs pulled away from the kitchen table overnight. Footsteps paced the unused upstairs bedroom. Low, tuneless humming drifted down the stairs. Then came the crying—a man's muffled sobs echoing through the house, night after night. His dog would growl, bark, and finally retreat in terror. Things escalated quickly. A shadow appeared in the upstairs window while he and a friend watched from the yard—clear as day, a man's figure behind the glass. But when they rushed inside, the room was empty. Soon, he heard words in the crying: “Please… don't…” followed by heart-wrenching sobs. He fled the farmhouse, breaking his lease and leaving his belongings behind. Later, he learned the truth: in the 1970s, a young man had lived there with his abusive father. After a violent fight, the son went upstairs and ended his life in that very bedroom. His father's cries were so loud the neighbors called the police. Did the spirit ever leave? Or did it follow him? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #HauntedFarmhouse #ParanormalActivity #Haunting #GhostEncounters #SupernaturalEncounter #CreepyTrueStory #Spirits #Ghosts #GhostPodcast Love real ghost stories?

Homesteading isn't just about raising your own food— it's about building a life where relationships, rhythms, and real community come first.  In this conversation with RuthAnn, we dig into everything from screen-free parenting to the myth of “not enough time,” the health wake-up call that reshaped her family's lifestyle, and the true meaning of the village for moms today.  If you've ever wondered how to slow down and find joy in the ordinary while strengthening your home, join us for this conversation!

A farm house has a full life and leaves behind the proof.

Creating a sense of history and place on raw land takes vision and patience, and garden designer Tessa Pinner shares how to make it both practical and beautiful.  We chat about designing outdoor “rooms,” why smaller spaces can sometimes be easier than wide-open acreage, and how trees, fences, and timeless materials add history and charm.  Tessa offers simple, long-term strategies to beat overwhelm and cultivate outdoor spaces that truly feel like home, whether you're on acreage or working with a small backyard. In this episode, we cover: Creating a sense of place on raw land through thoughtful landscape design Why outdoor spaces deserve as much attention as interiors for function and enjoyment Designing “garden rooms” that encourage gathering, eating, and everyday living outside How wide open acreage can feel overwhelming and why smaller yards are sometimes easier to design Using permaculture “zones” to plan spaces from most-used near the house to more relaxed areas farther out The importance of making outdoor spaces safe and hospitable for children and guests Choosing materials that feel timeless and appropriate to the style of the house Balancing beauty, practicality, and budget when designing for features like pools, patios, and fencing Planting trees early to establish maturity and history on a new property The hidden benefit of casting a long-term vision and phasing projects in gradually over many years How to avoid analysis paralysis when planning: books, drawings, and vision over Pinterest overwhelm Hardscaping as the backbone of outdoor spaces— surfaces, boundaries, and seating areas View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

n the winter of 1934, a quiet farmhouse on the edge of the Flemish village of Halen became the epicentre of one of Belgium's most unsettling hauntings. What began as faint knocks and misplaced objects quickly escalated into a barrage of flying crockery, slamming doors, and heavy furniture moving on its own — all witnessed not just by the terrified family, but by neighbours and, crucially, uniformed police officers.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESources:https://www.rtbf.be/article/la-veritable-histoire-du-poltergeist-de-halen-100-ans-apres-111111https://www.lexpress.fr/actualite/societe/faits-divers/poltergeist-les-cas-les-plus-celebres-1929343https://www.centrepresseaveyron.fr/2019/10/31/phenomenes-inexpliques-le-petit-dossier-du-petit-journal,8532018.phphttps://www.futura-sciences.com/planete/questions-reponses/maison-poltergeist-manifestations-physiques-maisons-hantees-7872/Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Homeschooling isn't just about academics.  It's about shaping character, habits, and family culture in the everyday moments.  In this conversation with Erin from Gentle + Classical Press, we talk about what the early years can look like without the pressure of early academics, how to raise children who know how to use their free time well, and why consistency matters more than perfection.  You'll hear encouragement for the overwhelmed mom, perspective on kids' different personalities, and practical ways to build a gentle and classical foundation in your home. If you're looking for fresh vision and tangible ideas for your homeschool days, this is an episode you won't want to miss! In this episode, we cover: Erin's family life with four children, 15 years of homeschooling, and a business run alongside homesteading A shift from academic goals to discipleship, character development, and strong family habits The meaning of a “gentle and classical” approach, blending Charlotte Mason influence with classical education in a soft, approachable way Preschool years centered on scripture memory, virtues through song, habit training, and life skills, with limited academics before age six Encouragement for overwhelmed moms: God equips you for the children He gave you, one hard day won't undo everything, and comparison online is misleading The role of children's personalities in shaping both family dynamics and parental growth Homeschooling with a deeper purpose of individualized learning, supporting specific needs, and cultivating family culture Lessons learned from the early years, including the importance of consistency in habits and the danger of overemphasizing grades or peer influence Recognizing readiness for formal learning by watching attention spans, keeping lessons short, and letting children progress in their own time Homeschooled kids often learn to use free time creatively, developing projects and play rather than becoming bored or dependent on screens View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

SummaryIn this inspiring episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Pop, a Thai-born entrepreneur, shares his remarkable journey from arriving in the U.S. in 2005 with only $300 and dreams of becoming the next Bill Gates, to building a 12-restaurant hospitality empire. Initially working in restaurants to pay the bills, he discovered his true calling as a chef during a pivotal moment at a food court. Over two decades, Pop built Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine through authenticity, teamwork, and an unyielding work ethic, navigating challenges like the 2008 housing crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic threatened his business, Pop innovated with visually appealing Thai food trays sold through DoorDash, turning a near-disaster into a massive success. He emphasizes hospitality from the heart, balancing tradition with innovation, building trust in his team, and creating restaurants that feel like home for both staff and guests. His story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and leading with purpose.8–10 Key Takeaways Authenticity is the foundation – Staying true to his Thai heritage and hospitality traditions has kept Pop's brand consistent and memorable. A defining moment can set your path – Cooking a dish unexpectedly for a customer early in his career gave him the confidence to pursue a culinary path. Innovation in crisis – During COVID-19, Pop transformed surplus catering trays into popular takeout sets, ultimately selling 150,000+ trays. Adaptability is essential – Shifting from 90% in-house dining to 100% takeout/delivery during the pandemic saved his business. Balancing tech with soul – Leveraging DoorDash, QR codes, and digital tools while keeping hospitality personal ensures growth without losing authenticity. Teamwork is built on trust – Pop transitioned from a “one-man show” to empowering staff through training, communication, and letting go of ego. Culture starts at clock-in – He insists on starting every shift with positivity, knowing energy flows through the food to the guest experience. Customer relationships go beyond transactions – Many regulars have become lifelong friends and part of the extended “Farmhouse family.” Leadership is by example – Pop's own progression from prep cook to owner shapes how he mentors his team. Resilience is forged over time – Navigating personal, economic, and operational challenges has strengthened his business and leadership philosophy.

At 34 weeks pregnant, I'm sharing all the latest on our home build, pregnancy with baby #9, and what life is like in this full season. Even though progress on the house feels slow, I'm finding peace in the extra time to make intentional decisions, and we are loving how our unique vision is coming to life. I talk about chimney brick, roofing surprises, and the proportions that make it feel like an old homestead. I also reflect on how textbook this pregnancy has been compared to my others and answer a few listener questions about storm windows and monitoring during labor. In this episode, we cover: Slow building progress continues, but the slower pace has allowed for more thoughtful, intentional decisions Finalized historic design elements like trim profiles, wall materials, and appliance choices— finding excitement in the progress even if it's gradual Chimneys are now bricked and the garage is roofed with wide-seamed metal that perfectly fits the historic vibe— a happy surprise with no overthinking! Main house will feature cedar shake roofing, while the porches and additions have metal to embrace the “old house with add-ons” story Reflections on how proportions, window placement, and overall structure are beautifully bringing to life the original vision of a “new old house” Pregnancy update at 34 weeks: similar symptoms and baby position as past pregnancies, feeling confident and ready Choosing minimal prenatal interventions— tracking iron and glucose at home, keeping midwife visits sparse Sharing our personal approach to open windows with no screens or storm doors for an indoor-outdoor connection Thoughts on Doppler use in labor and delivery— balancing caution with practical monitoring when needed View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

In this episode, we cover: Lana's story: how a college nutrition class sparked her love for birth and led to Girl, Teach Me Birth as normal— not an emergency to fear, but a process designed by God The faith walk of birth that requires releasing control and trusting God each time, no matter the number Choosing your birth team wisely and why the right midwife makes all the difference Power moves and fear tactics— recognizing red flags in medical care Labor predictions that miss the mark: baby size, dilation, and due dates that don't actually mean much A new perspective on pain: working with your body instead of resisting it Birth prep that actually helps: Bradley Method, Ina May, and positive birth stories The realities of the first-time birth and why it often takes longer and feels more intense Things that can go wrong— why skilled midwives know when to transfer, and how most situations are calm and non-emergent How to prepare for postpartum experiences like afterbirth cramps, recovery, and what actually helps (or doesn't) Thoughts on free birth— being prepared either way, but personally valuing the peace of a midwife's presence How Lana included her older children in her birth and what it meant to her daughters Why home birth just makes sense for outcomes, comfort, and family flow Pushing back on comparison— birth choices aren't competitions, and excellence isn't judgment Lana's heart behind creating content for new moms through YouTube, blogging, and her course View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

If you are feeling tired, foggy, reactive to everything you eat, and you're not sure where to even begin, this episode is for you!  I'm joined by Christa from Less Stressed Life to unpack some of the most confusing and overwhelming health topics moms face: sluggish thyroid, hidden stress, food sensitivities, and nervous system overload. Christa shares her holistic, systems-based approach to healing that prioritizes nourishment, nervous system support, and practical tools over endless restriction and fear. If you've ever been told your labs are “normal” but you still don't feel like yourself, you don't want to miss this conversation! In this episode, we cover: Welcoming Christa from Less Stressed Life to talk thyroid, nervous system health, food sensitivities, and more How her own health journey shaped the way she helps women heal holistically The “health triad” framework: chemical/nutritional, structural/environmental, emotional/energetic Common issues women face—gut troubles, skin flare-ups, fatigue, and subclinical thyroid symptoms Why many symptoms trace back to nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress A story about stress shutting down digestion—how even nature couldn't calm the fight-or-flight response Defining neuroplasticity and the importance of training the body to shift out of stress mode Simple tools for nervous system support—gratitude, humming, breathwork, nature walks, legs up the wall Wearable tech to promote calm—vagus nerve stimulation devices like Apollo Neuro How long-term stress depletes nutrients and contributes to hidden deficiencies Subtle but telling signs of sluggish thyroid—cold hands, brain fog, fatigue, cracked feet, and hair loss Why “normal” thyroid labs don't always reflect what's really going on in the body The real root of many food sensitivities—gut permeability, poor digestion, and fear-based restriction How over-restriction can backfire and increase hypersensitivity to everyday foods Encouragement for those navigating Hashimoto's, reintroducing gluten or dairy, or feeling stuck View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

What happens when you spend ten years chasing a dream—only to face rejection again and again? Melissa Ferguson did just that. In this hilarious and heartfelt conversation, Melissa shares how she went from writing secretly in a Walmart-adjacent extended stay to becoming a bestselling author with multiple book-to-movie deals. She's a homesteading mom of four, a romantic comedy writer, and now a children's book author with Our Friendly Farmhouse, a stunning family-authored picture book rooted in real life. Melissa and Ginny dig into what it means to pursue creativity as a mom, why calculated risks matter, and how to build a life (and a farmhouse) one bold step at a time. From publishing realities to auction-day adrenaline to raising your neighbor's rabbits, this episode is both wildly entertaining and quietly motivating. Whether you're waiting for permission to chase a dream—or already chasing one—this is your nudge to keep going.

From laundry bottlenecks to housing market realities, I'm diving into your current  questions in the midst of our busy build season. I'm sharing why we skip chore charts and budgets, how I fix sticky whole grain dough, and what postpartum has typically looked like for me.

Plus, my go-to sourdough recipes this summer that keep us well-fed without keeping me in the kitchen all day! In this episode, we cover: Living in the fullness of a busy season and what it feels like to build a house while pregnant with baby nine Chore charts and budgets? Not in this house— why intuitive, all-hands-on-deck rhythms work better for our family Sticky sourdough solved: why flour weight and rest time make all the difference especially with freshly-milled grains Postpartum struggles that I haven't walked through myself but hold compassion for Debt-free build questions and why I'm quieter these days about the specifics An honest look at our journey through the housing market over the years and what younger families are really up against Many of you suggested this, but here is why two washers/dryers wouldn't solve our real laundry bottleneck Why we are not adding a designated homeschool room to our new build as a large homeschooling family Summer sourdough lineup to make our days easier— bagels, half whole grain loaf, and hamburger buns on repeat View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.
