Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View

There are days when our slow, simple life gets swept up in a fast, loud, messy whirl of activity. The kind of day where your coffee goes cold before you can drink it, someone forgets to feed the dog, and the to-do list looks like it was written by a caffeinated squirrel. If this is your life, maybe it’s time to learn to reconnect, to relax and enjoy the life you have. Listen in and learn how to get back to that simple life you love!

We’ve gotten so tangled up in our gadgets and gizmos that we don’t even realize how loud the world has become. It hums and buzzes and dings and beeps. Our calendars yell at us with reminders, our phones light up like fireflies in a jar, and we’ve got more tabs open—on our browsers and in our brains—than we know what to do with.

So, what does it really mean to unplug? Listen in and find out!

The Farm Wife ...

There’s something about pie that just says home. Not the store-bought kind with the perfect crimped edges and the glossy labels—but the kind your mama or your granny used to make. The kind with a little flour on the countertop, maybe a thumbprint in the crust where someone pressed too hard, and the aroma that floats out of the oven and wraps around your soul like a quilt on a chilly morning. Listen in and find out why the Pie Bird sings, and how baking a pie is like sending a little love note to those we love...

There are sermons you hear on Sunday morning and ones whispered through your grandmother’s kitchen on a quiet afternoon. I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard some of my best sermons - not from a pulpit, but from a bowl of dough and a warm oven. And if there’s one food that’ll preach, it’s a good, old-fashioned yeast roll. Listen in to this week’s ‘sermon’ and discover where faith and yeast rolls meet in the middle!

When was the last time you had a good, old-fashioned baking day? Not just whipping up a quick banana bread while the laundry tumbles and the kids are hollering, but a real baking day. The kind where the windows fog up from the oven’s heat, the counters are covered in flour, and the radio hums a tune older than your favorite apron. Maybe it’s time to get back to a Baking Day Revival. It’s easy – just start with slowing down and whipping up some muffins, memories & messes!

There’s something about biscuits that just feels like home. Not the kind you pop from a can and pray won’t explode in your hand, or the ones that come in a plastic bag found in the freezer section of your grocery store. No, I’m talking about real biscuits. The kind Grandma made without ever glancing at a recipe card. Where measurements were eyeballed, flour dust danced in the morning light, and the rolling pin had stories to tell. Listen in and learn more about the one food that can hug you back – biscuits!
