Slow Living in the English Countryside | Summer Baking, Nesting & Homemaking From Scratch

Useful tips to balance body and mind

A full day of traditional homemaking in rural England — seasonal baking, nesting for baby, and cooking from scratch in the English cottage.

In this video I'm spending a full day at home in the English countryside — baking a seasonal spelt cake with freshly milled flour, making sourdough pizza from scratch, and batch cooking nourishing freezer meals as we prepare for our fourth baby. I also share a flaxseed and dark chocolate banana loaf made specifically for the postpartum season, and a wholesome granola using olive oil and maple syrup.

There's also a little moment of building a home slowly — my husband and son putting up shelves for a tea station in our kitchen — and some thoughts on slow living, nesting, and what it really means to keep a home with intention.
