Summary

Sarah Therése and I are a decade apart in our motherhood journeys, and our different perspectives and experiences made this conversation so interesting. We tackled a variety of topics based on questions we received from you on Instagram, everything from minimalism to pregnancy to homeschooling to business.

Throughout our many topics of conversation, one overarching theme kept resurfacing: as women and mothers, we have the power to make changes in our homes and families when something is not going well. While we cannot control everything, we have the ability to improve things way more than we think! May this conversation be an encouragement to you as you assess your own challenges and endeavor to move forward in boldness!

In this episode, we cover:

How the pace changes from early motherhood into the middle years
Managing the day-to-day responsibilities of motherhood and homemaking by planning ahead
Why owning less stuff is a gift to your children
Pursuing your dream life in your current circumstances
What homeschooling looks like with children of all ages at home
Turning down the noise and finding what rhythms are right for your unique family
Preparing your body and mind for beautiful pregnancies and births
Identifying problems and pursuing solutions in every area of motherhood
The ups and downs of sharing your life and family on a public platform
Deciding when to turn down opportunities in order to prioritize family
How do you know when it is time to quit something?

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Today, I'm having on Sarah Trees. She is a
0:06.8	young mother of five kids. She used to share her daily life over on YouTube. After a while,
0:13.4	she decided that wasn't for her. So you might know her from YouTube. You might know her from
0:17.4	Instagram, but we have a long list of questions that you sent in over through the question box
0:22.9	on Instagram, which by the way, if you don't follow me over there. So I'm at Farmhouse on Boone on
0:28.8	Instagram. Before we do an episode, this is new. We now put up a question box where you can
0:35.9	submit your questions for the upcoming guest. So it's becoming a lot more interactive show. I
0:41.5	like getting the feedback because I find out what it is that listeners want to hear. And I can
0:46.4	tailor the interview to go with that. So she had probably the most questions we've ever gotten.
0:51.9	So we're getting through what we can. Join me as I interview Sarah Trees.
0:56.5	My name is Lisa mother of seven and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone.
1:02.1	Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little
1:07.3	mom and entrepreneur life along the way. Well, thank you so much for coming on. You and I have,
1:19.3	well, I followed you for a long time. And I don't feel like we've ever actually
1:22.7	chatted in any way except for maybe like a comment or something like that or maybe a DM.
1:27.6	So I'm really glad to have you on it and interact with you. For those who don't know you,
1:31.2	let's start with intros. So tell us about your family, your business, or anything else you want to
1:35.9	share. Yeah, yeah, for sure. So my name is Sarah Trees. I grew up and I still live on the west coast
1:42.0	of Canada, which is ridiculously fun and beautiful. We're surrounded by farmers in farmland, but I am
1:49.3	not living on a farm, but it's definitely a dream of mine. I have five kids. My oldest is almost
1:55.6	seven and my youngest is a newborn. And I spend my days home-making, homeschooling, and being outside.
2:04.2	I love being outside. And I've been married to my husband for just over eight years now.
