Hi, I’m Taylor! 

A little about me – I’m a wife and mom to 3 beautiful girls (on earth and two babies in  Heaven). I love Jesus and love sharing how He has changed my life for the better. I joke that  my favorite accessory is an iced latte on the go! You can usually catch me around town at a  coIee shop trying diIerent yummy drinks and treats! A dream of mine would be to have a  cozy little coIee shop and bakery. I am blessed to be able to stay home to take care of my  family and manage our home.  

I never imagined joyful homemaking would become my mission… 

When my children were younger, I had such a hard time juggling all the things that came  with being a stay-at-home mom. The overwhelm kept me from enjoying being a mom and  homemaker. The thing that brought the most stress was figuring out meals every single  day. I hated cooking because it felt so time consuming and I had little ones needing my  attention every minute of the day. I have learned along the way that simple meals planned  out ahead of time truly changed the way our week goes and keeps us from caving into  buying fast food and stressing about meals. 

As I began enjoying cooking, I also rediscovered my love for baking. Cookies, cakes,  muIins — you name it, I taught myself to make it! That joy in the kitchen eventually led me  to the art of sourdough. After walking through a really hard season as a family, sourdough  became a place of healing and comfort for me. Through baking, I found the creativity and  joy in the kitchen I had been longing for. 

Sourdough came into my life more recently after losing two of our babies through back-to back miscarriages all within 7 months. My heart was absolutely shattered, and I was aching  for something to keep my mind and hands busy. With my background in baking, I quickly  fell in love with the art of sourdough. I love the way it teaches you to slow down and savor  the simple moments at home. I also love making something that’s so good for my family  and such a special gift for friends and family. 

Feeding my family homemade meals — and gathering them around the table — has  become one of my greatest joys. I truly believe family meals are sacred. In a time of go, go,  go – there’s something truly special about the time you choose to slow down, reconnect, and share your hearts over a meal. I want to encourage other families to make family time a  priority again and show them just how needed and life-giving that time can be.
