We have a baby chick who won’t open her eyes so We have a baby chick who won’t open her eyes so she has joined one of the hospital rooms that Vivi has made (we have one with an injured wing and one with a hurt toe). I came upstairs after working on a new charcoal and applewood smoked salt soap- to find that she added a toy chick and video of chick sounds to help calm the baby down. You can expect nothing but the best care with Dr. Vivi at the helm. #help #baby #bird #chicks #hurt #comfort #cooking #baking #care #farm #life #farmlife #momlife #workingmom #animals

Creativity and growth is a must here at BMK-never Creativity and growth is a must here at BMK-never settling, always learning. The genius soap maker behind Bath Bakery introduced soap making to BMK- for which I’m forever grateful! I enjoy challenging myself with learning new skills and spent some late night hours making new molds and organic flower encased soaps. I’m making some more masculine scented batches for Father’s Day gifts to pair with the ones here and will post pics of any extras if there is interest. I believe in actions as well as words so all soap proceeds after cost will be donated to organizations that support social justice and equality. If there is an organization you feel strongly about please let me know so I can look into it. #handmadesoap #driedflowers #fathersday #fathersdaygifts #donate #bekind #socialjustice #equality #home #farmlife #cookingclass #momlife #soap #cooking #baking
Life is never dull here! A new flock of baby chic Life is never dull here! A new flock of baby chicks arrived today to help boost our numbers after we lost so many layers this spring. We about 50 chickens now and rolled the dice with a few unsexed chicks so if we get a rooster we’ll start incubating some eggs. Now that I’m done breeding myself, it’s onto goats and chickens! Due to budget cuts I didn’t get to do as many of the rare expensive chicks as planned but got a few fun ones plus gorgeous blue and green egg layers- 7 different shades of eggs. I’ll post pictures of the different chicks (20 unique breeds)for your kids to help name! Those posts will start later today and be daily this week so if your kids are coming to camps make sure to show them! Oh- and the baby goats are very intrigued and a bit jealous of the new balls of cuteness. #chicken #babychicks #eggs #babygoats #farmlife #farmanimals #farm #cooking #baking #cookingclass #momlife #workingfromhome #athome

Local producer spotlight! Read to end for giveaway Local producer spotlight! Read to end for giveaway! Are you ready for the first farmers market class tomorrow? Crab Cakes (vegetarian option for those too)and Honey Garlic Sautéed greens (got bok choy in your CSA box and don’t know how to use it? This is the class for you!) https://beckysmindfulkitchen.com/product/farmers-market-series-easy-thai-crab-cakes-and-honey-garlic-bok-choy/ Micro greens are tiny but mighty when it comes to packing a nutritional punch. I’m incredibly picky when it comes to micro greens and only will buy from Urban Greens- local to Iowa City. Kids love them because they are cute and they don’t have to eat as many veggies to get the same nutritional value (perfect for smoothies)- win! You can find these in Hy-Vee or better yet- sign up for their CSA to get an even better deal! Click here to sign up and let them know I sent ya! http://bit.ly/UGCSA2020 Giveaway: Sign up for their CSA (link above) by June 6th and mention BMK to receive a free soap at your next pick up! #cooking #baking #farm #fresh #giveaway #momlife #workingmom #green #eatyourgreens #crab #thaifood #greens

But for those facing a different summer than planned-I wanted to continue to offer them as a way to provide free content and support local farmers. I also will be offering online birthday parties and private classes for organizations. You all blew me away with sharing this post last month and that is why I am able to keep them going. July classes will feature recipes from around the world so if you want to see those happen then work your magic BMK chefs and share away. I have 20 more states to reach on my map... let’s get all 50 by 4th of July! Make sure to share this post with family & friends! Comment the date of the class you are most excited about and what you would like to see for next month! Stay safe & healthy everyone! #cooking #baking #momlife #farmlife #workingfromhome #athome
I got to celebrate a very special girl’s birthda I got to celebrate a very special girl’s birthday today with an online cooking party! She has attended countless online classes with her mom and she chose to do cookie dough bites for her birthday party. I am still closed for in person parties but am offering online parties and the best part is that you can invite as many guests as you like and you don’t have to be local to Iowa to have a party! Free online classes continue through June so you can also join those with friends if a private party isn’t in your budget. Click on the link for pricing and menu options.

Sometimes life knocks you on your ass- literally- Sometimes life knocks you on your ass- literally- but if there is one thing I’m good at doing, it’s getting back up and getting back at it. (I got whacked in the head and flew up in the air and landed on my butt this afternoon and things went black briefly) I’m moving slower but packaging up fudge, York patties, Twix cups, Macarons, lace cookies and lemon ricotta cheese cake for a local ER department and 4 local nursing homes. A big thank you to those delivering these to everyone! Plus splitting up sourdough starter for those wanting to participate in the upcoming sourdough baking class! The month of June classes is half done and up on my website. Watch for it to be posted tonight! Keep an eye out each week for posts on give aways to nominate people or groups who would appreciate some kindness. Plus- I challenge you to do just one random act of kindness this week and share it below. It feels so good- I promise. #cooking #baking #workingmom #athome #momlife #farmlife
