Lately, I’ve been a little quiet around here… and honestly, life has just been LIFE. ❤️

We’ve been soaking up some much needed family time with a vacation to BC, saying goodbye to our sweet pup of 15 years as he crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈🐾, and trying to squeeze in as many beach days as humanly possible before summer slips away. 🥹☀️🏖️

But last night, something VERY exciting happened… 👀🍓🫐

My dad drove up from the coast with OVER 60 LBS of fresh BC berries picked literally yesterday morning and brought straight to us! 😍

And you KNOW I can’t look at 60+ pounds of fresh berries without immediately getting ideas. 😂🤭

I’ve already got some seriously delicious things cooking up in my head for sweet sourdough breads this weekend at the market… and let me just say, you are NOT going to want to miss these. 👀🍓🫐🍞✨

After a busy and emotional few weeks, I’m really excited to get back into the kitchen, get my hands in some dough, and create some fun new things for you all. ❤️

Thank you for sticking around even when I’ve been a little quieter lately. 🥹🫶🏼

See you at the market this weekend! And if you love fresh BC berries as much as I do… you might want to come early. 😉🍓

There’s nothing better than wandering the market with a coffee in one hand and a warm baked treat in the other ☀️

Come support your local makers, stock up on fresh baking for the weekend, and enjoy the beautiful day before all the Beach Fest fun begins! 🌊🎶

One of the perks of being surrounded by so many talented local makers is getting to try each other's creations! 💛

After Cara messaged me for a loaf of sourdough, I asked if I could grab a sample of her protein bites too. This morning, while slicing into an Everything Bagel loaf for myself and getting everything prepped and ready for this weekend's market, I finally got to try them.

They did not disappoint! They were the perfect little pick-me-up while tackling another busy bakery morning.

If you haven't already, go check out Noon Bakery and show Cara some love. Supporting local businesses is one of my favorite things about our community, and I'm so thankful we get to cheer each other on. 🥖✨🤍

There is something so special about living in a small town.

Yesterday reminded me just how blessed we are to be part of a community that pours so much heart into creating memories for families. ❤️

My oldest got to enter his very first Power Wheels derby, complete with balloons and a little Mario Kart-inspired setup. It was honestly one of the cutest things I've ever witnessed. We got absolutely soaked to the bone in the rain, but seeing the smiles on my boys' faces made every second worth it. Those are the kinds of memories that last a lifetime.

Moments like these remind me that gratitude isn't found in perfect weather or perfect days it's found in the people that are placed around us and the joy we choose to see through it all.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." Psalm 107:1

Now it's time for me to head to church with a grateful heart and thank God for another beautiful week, this incredible community, and the blessings He's continuing to provide.

💛 If you've been thinking about grabbing a fresh artisan sourdough loaf, today is the perfect day to place your order for Tuesday's bake! Otherwise, I'll see you next Saturday at the farmers' market with fresh bread and plenty of goodies.

They say adulthood sneaks up on you...

One minute I was in my twenties carefree and kid-less🤪

The next minute I'm in my thirties explaining hydration percentages to anyone who'll listen, naming sourdough starters, and getting way too excited because my dough doubled overnight. 😂🍞

Some people collect shoes...
I collect flour, bannetons, and reasons to bake "just one more loaf." 🤍

Tell me I'm not alone...

☀️ Good morning, friends. 🤍

One of the reasons lately I keep reminding myself why I fell in love with sourdough is it reminds me of how God works in our lives, and learning to trust His timing.

You can't rush sourdough. It takes patience, time, care, and consistency. The dough is stretched, folded, rested, and sometimes left waiting longer than expected. Yet every step has a purpose. Without those quiet moments, it never becomes what it was created to be.

Isn't our walk with God so much the same?

There are seasons where it feels like nothing is happening. We pray, we wait, we trust, and we wonder if He's still working. But just like the dough rising when no one can see it, God is often doing His greatest work in the unseen places of our hearts.

Every loaf I bake reminds me that beautiful things aren't built overnight. They are shaped with love, refined through patience, and finished in perfect timing.

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." - Exodus 14:14

I hope today brings you a little peace, a little patience, and a reminder that God hasn't forgotten you. He's still working, even when you can't yet see the rise. ❤️

Have a blessed Thursday, friends. Thank you for supporting my little microbakery and allowing me to share both bread and a little bit of my heart with you.

If Netflix ever made a documentary called

"The Truth About Store-Bought Sourdough,"

this is exactly how I'd expect the interview to go with me. 😂🎬

Flour on my face. Toddler toys everywhere. One child secretly hiding behind me. That's the real behind-the-scenes of running a microbakery from home.

The funniest part? Traditional artisan sourdough really IS different. It's naturally fermented over many hours, made with a live sourdough starter, and crafted one loaf at a time Not rushed just to get it on a grocery store shelf.

Now... who's funding Episode 2? 🍞🤣

When I started this little sourdough dream, I had a baby who was only four months old.

Now that same baby is 2 and a half, and somehow this bakery has grown right alongside my boys.

These days I don’t bring them to markets as often mostly because toddlers are a full-time adventure all on their own but they are still so much a part of this business. They’re the behind-the-scenes taste testers, the sticker helpers, the little hands that occasionally help carry a loaf to the door for a delivery. They’ve watched dough being mixed, loaves being scored, and late nights turn into early mornings.

What started as a small hobby during nap times became something I never could have imagined: a community that supports my family, fills our home with the smell of fresh bread, and reminds me that beautiful things can grow in the middle of messy, busy motherhood.

So if you’ve ever ordered a loaf from Just Because Microbakery, thank you. You’re not just supporting a baker you’re supporting a mom chasing a dream with two little boys cheering her on from the sidelines (usually with flour somewhere on their faces 🤍).

And yes… they still insist on being the first to taste-test the warm bread.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” - 1 Corinthians 16:14 ✨
