Hey there, mama! Welcome to Dreams, Dirt, and Grace—the podcast where we get real about growing big dreams while nurturing little hearts all while leaning on God.

This is your space to embrace the beautiful chaos of it all—the dirt under your nails, the endless to-do lists, and the moments of messy grace that make it all worthwhile. We’ll dive into the nitty-gritty of entrepreneurship, homesteading, parenting hacks, faith, and finding joy in the everyday adventure. If you’re ready to get a little dirty, laugh at the mess, and grow something beautiful, you’re in the right place. Let’s dig in!

I'm all about repurposing left over's for another dish & I learned a way to use all the left over french fries that your kids do not eat after eating take-out (& spending a gazillion dollars)
Step 1: Take home left over Fries, store in a large ziplock bag & place in the freezer. (You can also utilize frozen store-bought fries)
When you're ready to make the French fry Hash:
Ingredients:
Chopped breakfast meats (bacon, ham, sausage)- 4 bacon & 4 sliced ham
8 Scramble Eggs
Chopped frozen fries (we used a quart size bag of fries)
oil to pan fry (1-2TBs)
Seasoning to Taste (salt, pepper, 21 seasoning, green goddess or garlic butter)
Additional Toppings or Add-ons: Shredded Cheese, Sour cream, veggies
Instructions:
Fry breakfast meat in a large sauce pan or wok. Once browned, poured in eggs. Stir and toss until eggs are cooked.
Remove from heat and set on side back into bowl used to scramble eggs
Add oil & fries. Toss until fries are heated and crispy.
Add back in scrambled egg & meat mixture.
Mix thoroughly & serve!

H: Health- Stopped allowing my weight to determine the value of what I looked like. Instead I do things that FEEL good to my body. Move, Workout, Eat (take time after meals to see how my body reacts- tired, sluggish, heart burn), Simple skincare (wash my face in the shower, use moisturizer, lip care). DOESN'T have to be daily. Instead Set up a Routine.
O: Outside- Outdoors grounds me, fresh air, being in my garden. What can you do to give yourself a BREAK?
W: Worship- Open my bible app, turn on worship music: Set the TONE for your day & Use it to Rest, Come back from a Distruption

Every Child is Unique. Their Learning Style. Their Interests. Their Communicative Skills. So that is Why My "Curriculum" or Their "Curriculum" may NOT fit your Kids or your Homeschool. In this episode, we'll talk about better questions to ask fellow Homeschoolers.

Our Homeschool this year started with our Hearts. Since the devastating wildfire in Lahaina left many without anything, we wanted to give back in whatever little ways we could.
In this episode you'll Learn how many Lessons a Homeschool Yard Sale can give your Keiki! Then turn it into a Fundraiser to give it more Purpose and Heart.
Hopefully it'll inspire more generosity not only in your homeschool, but in your home too.

Cooking is a part of Adulting that is a vital Skill. Although it may be intimidating to trust your kids with appliances, I've found that this appliance has by far been the Simplest and Safest for my kids to Learn on! Plus they can make quite of bit of meals on it!

This was a FEAR of mines & my hubbies when we first started looking into homeschooling. But we learned how work through it (because even after researching and prepping, those lonely days still came) AND how to finally prevent the LONELY feeling from ever coming back.
