Welcome to Forthwith
Foundations for the Journey
Not every space will feel like home—and that’s okay. But if you’ve found yourself here, lingering a little longer, welcome.
There’s a seat at the table for you.
This is a place to learn, to try, to grow. A place for those who long to live more rooted in their days—even when life is full, messy, and modern.
Before we begin, here are a few things to know about this space:
Forthwith is like a kitchen table covered in books and bowls of bread dough—reflections alongside recipes, skills beside stories.
It’s a space for the curious and the wholehearted—those who find meaning in the making and joy in the process.
If you’re looking for a single-topic space, this won’t be it. But if you’re hungry for learning that touches many corners of life, you’re in the right place.
We won’t all see the world the same way. You may find things here you agree with wholeheartedly, and others that stretch or surprise you.
That’s part of the beauty of gathering around a table like this: to listen, to share, to question, and sometimes—to sit quietly with a different perspective, letting it challenge your own thoughts to reveal what stands firm.
This is a place that honors the beautiful, timeless strength of women.
The kind that shapes our homes, our work, and our lives.
Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, making art, tending a garden, or simply showing up for the daily work that life requires—you carry something uniquely valuable.
The goal here isn’t perfection, it’s practice. I can share what I’ve learned, but part of the beauty is learning as you go—which sometimes means getting it wrong, adjusting, and trying again.
Common sense and a little courage go a long way.
In the kitchen, some tools aren’t optional. A food scale is one of them.
I’ll show you the methods that build confidence—and as confidence grows, intuition follows.
So if you’re cooking along with Forthwith, start here: get a food scale.
$20 well spent. You’ll understand your ingredients—and your kitchen—in a whole new way.
If you’ve read this far, welcome. Take what helps you, leave what doesn’t.
Pull up a chair when you need encouragement. Step back when life gets full.
Either way, I’m grateful you’re here.
