Having, like you said, like a handful of meals that you can pull out on any of those certain occasions, it is from scratch, but it's not going to impress anyone. I think people take from scratch and they take it to mean it has to be way more than it even is. And then also, there's definitely something to be said for getting good at something. If you make bread, you've made it hundreds of times. It's not even hard. It's not something you have to think about. That's a really good advice. It's just finding a couple things that you can really focus on and become really good at. So when it comes to the point where you're just tired or whatever, you can just throw it together. My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. On this podcast,

I like to talk about simplifying your life so you can live out your priorities. I help you learn how to

cook from scratch and decorate on a budget through this podcast and my courses simple sourdough

in the simple sewing series. I also help people reach their goals from home through my business

course in YouTube Success Academy. I will leave links to these resources in the show notes and description box below.

Now let's get into the show.

Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast.

Today I'm having on Meg Holler of Holler Homestead.

She came on about a year ago and we talked about

the homestead, about getting it all done as a mom. I believe we talked about some pregnancy

and postpartum stuff, but she was about to be expecting their sixth child. Well, today we're going

to have a similar conversation. A lot of you wanted to hear from Meg again. A lot of you

follow her over on

YouTube and wanted her perspective on cooking from scratch, managing a large family, homesteading.

So I think that if you like those topics and you want to be encouraged by those topics,

you're going to really like this episode. Meg, welcome back on. A lot of people put in your

name as a request. They wanted to hear from you. I told some of them she's been on, but we will do another episode. So there's a lot of audience questions, a lot of requests for you. So I don't remember when you were last on. I should have looked this up. But what is new in your world since then? I feel like you either had a brand new baby or you were

pregnant. Am I correct? I was pregnant. Yes. Okay. Yeah. I thought that was like something very

imminent. So how long ago was that? You would know then. So our last podcast, I believe,

was the beginning of April. And I wound up having the baby beginning of May. Okay. She was about a week late. Okay. Yeah, because I do remember that you either had a brandy baby or that you were like very close to actually having the baby. So I think a lot of our conversation, you know, people had a lot of questions and it was fresh in your mind about pregnancy and postpartum.

So for those who didn't listen to the last episode who maybe don't follow you on YouTube,

tell us a little bit about yourself and your family and what you share about over on YouTube.
