Life is made of little moments. Cherish this moment today.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? …
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:25-34
Hi there! I’m Bekah, a wife and mother to two precious little girls. Growing up as the oldest of seven children, I used to assume that I’d have motherhood pretty much figured out, but boy was I wrong! After my first daughter was born, I soon learned I had so much learning and personal growth to do both as a wife and as a mother.
This blog is your corner of the internet for affordable healthy recipes from scratch, lessons from mom life, and cleaning/organizing hacks that I am using/have used in our home to help maintain a clean(ish), smoothly functioning home in the midst of toddler chaos. 🙂
We know that cooking from scratch is healthier for us, but is it doable when life is busy and the budget is tight? Follow along for quick, one-pan dinners, crockpot meals, and sourdough bread and pastries mixed in the bread machine or in less time than it would take to check your Instagram. 😉
Every day, I learn something new about myself and about these two tiny humans I’m charged to care for. Follow along as I share the practical tips and tricks that help me stay organized (as much as possible lol) and the lessons I am learning as a new mom of two.
As a former clean-freak, the sheer number of messes that came along with two babies under 2 rocked my world. I have had to change my cleaning routine drastically to make sure the house is maintained and that has also meant decluttering a good deal of the stuff from my former life. Follow along for DIY nontoxic cleaning recipes, step-by-step decluttering strategies, and organizing hacks.
Motherhood is the beginning of a new life (both for your baby and for yourself) and the end of an old one. But all too often, all we can focus on (especially during those long, sleepless postpartum nights) is the parts of our old lives that we miss. I’m here to encourage you that this new life brings with it so much more joy and beauty than society will have you believe.
Although a lifelong baker, I am somewhat new to the sourdough world, but I am constantly trying new recipes and converting my old tried and true recipes to sourdough version. Fermenting grains helps break down the phytic acid in them and eases digestion as well as helping our bodies absorb the nutrients more efficiently.
Many of my recipes are made with at least some whole wheat flour for health reasons, but I also include the measurements for you to make them with whatever flour you prefer.

One day, today will be one of “the good old days.” I sometimes stop to think how one day (if I live to a ripe old age and get to see my little babies grow up and move away), I will look back on these days with my squishy postpartum tummy, my…
