Join me in the kitchen today as we make a big batch of rich, spiced pear butter using discounted, overripe pears! After 33 years of homemaking and over two decades of motherhood, I’m reflecting on navigating burnout, shifting seasons of life, and why filling the pantry is so much more than just pretty shelves. Later, I’m baking a special festive star bread and sharing an update on my health journey and cooking routines. What is one small blessing or homemaking routine that saves you time and brings your family joy? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
