I’m not sure what day, but daily maintained helps #frodoughbaggins stay in shape for baking and my discard, #samrisegamgee is always on standby for discard recipes. Starting a sourdough journey doesn’t have to be hard. If I can do it, anybody can! #findingjoy #sourdough

Day 85 with Frodough! I felt the need to bring it back to basics with this one. From February until the end of May, life will be chaos, so little things will be what keeps me moving forward. #findingjoy #frodoughbaggins #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance
#day67 with #frodoughbaggins and truthfully this was from yesterday, but I have been so pressed with deadlines, I am just now getting around to doing anything other than work. I’m almost done with that for now and happy to be able to focus on things that bring joy! #findingjoy #mychemicaldoughmance
#day64 with #frodoughbaggins and this silly little minutes of my morning motivated me out of bed. Being a mom is hard, being a teacher is hard, being part of these precedented “unprecedented” times is hard. Carve out some time to joy! #findingjoy #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance
#day61 with #frodoughbaggins and it is FINALLY the end of this bananas week! I have 2 extra 11 year old boys for a sleep over, so of course we’ll need fresh bread! I am definitely making some baking time this weekend! #findingjoy #mychemicaldoughmance #exhaustedmillennial
#day58 and with #frodoughbaggins and absolutely fan girling Jane Fonda for her SAG speech. I know she isn’t the first to say it, but I am hopeful that the more people with big platforms state boldly what is happening, more people will listen. #findingjoy #janefonda #mychemicaldoughmance
#day57 with Frodough and I am unwell because my littlest little turns 3 today! He’s officially a preschooler, and too grown up. I hope everyone has a happy Monday in honor of my big baby boy! #findingjoy #happybirthday #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance
#day56 with #frodoughbaggins and with a focaccia and sourdough loaf in progress, Frodough deserves a good meal and rest! In the same vibe, you do, too! Rest, fuel your body, hydrate, and remember to find joy! #findingjoy #frodoughbaggins #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance
#day55 and a busy day means switching plans, reorganizing, and some sweet tunes to add to my soundtrack. #findingjoy #frodoughbaggins #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance
#day53 with #frodoughbaggins and this has been a horrendously busy week! I hope I have my life together enough to squeeze in some baking! I could use it! #findingjoy #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance
#day51 with Frodough! Maintaining and plotting a fresh bake this weekend! #findingjoy #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance #samrisegamgee
#day50!! With Frodough and once again, #frodoughbaggins was super hungry. I’m not sure why, but they seem to only be happy with a 1:3:3 or higher ratio. Either way, today we just maintain and hope for a baking day tomorrow! #findingjoy #mychemicaldoughmance
Part 3: 1st attempt adding inclusions to #sourdough #bread. I was a bit nervous on this one, but it turned out better than I expected! Only slightly off in the proofing, and the taste was everything! It was a good #bake! #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance #findingjoy

Part 2: 1st attempt to #bake #sourdough #bread with inclusions! Once the dough felt right, I divided into loaves and added sprinkles and chocolate chips to see what will happen! #frodoughbaggins #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance

#day48 with Frodough and after starting a baking day, poor #frodoughbaggins was almost gone! But honestly, it only takes a tiny bit to recover, and so with a good meal and rest, I know they’ll be back in action tomorrow! #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance
Part 1 of my first attempt to add inclusions to #sourdough #bread. First to mix and then begin stretch and folds! So far, hopefully so good! #findingmyself #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance #bake

#day47 with Frodough Baggins! They were so excited to hear that I’m baking for a valentine to myself that they threw up everywhere! Remember on this day of love to love yourself, fuel your body, and stay hydrated ♥️ #findingmyself #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance #samrisegamgee
#day46 with Frodough! Another packed day with too much going on…so grateful that the weekend is almost here! #findingmyself #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance
#day45 with Frodough and we’re gearing up for a bake this weekend so making sure they are strong is the goal! Make sure to hydrate and fuel your body too, so that you are strong enough for whatever the day throws your way! #findingmyself #frodoughbaggins #mychemicaldoughmance
#day42 with #frodoughbaggins and once again, finding joy today to have the ability to resist tomorrow! #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance #findingjoy
#day41 with #frodoughbaggins and Frodough is looking a little pitiful after most of them were used for focaccia last night. Hopefully it’s worth it and a nice big meal perks them up! Stay safe out there! #findingmyself #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance
#day40 with #frodoughbaggins and in honor of 40 days, today I’m going to start my 1st attempt at #sourdough #foccacia. I’m hoping the extra proofing time will help me as I learn how to read the dough a bit. #findingmyself #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance
#day39 with #frodoughbaggins and they are FINALLY not looking super thin in the morning! Gotta bulk up before we try our first #sourdough #foccacia attempt later this week! #findingmyself #samrisegamgee #mychemicaldoughmance #14thamendment #nobodyisillegalonstolenland
#day38 with #frodoughbaggins and this absolute banger absolutely encapsulated my morning. Didn’t even have time to get this up until night time. The busiest time of the school year with all of the other things is too much some days! #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance #samrisegamgee
#day37 with #frodoughbaggins and I need some advice! Frodough has been looking a little thin in the morning, so I decided to add more flour and water than usual. Is that right? Gotta try to keep them healthy even when life is crazy! #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance #samrisegamgee
#day35 with #frodoughbaggins and he was hungry this morning! A good feed was in order, along with a little reminder that morals matter. We are still fighting the same fight, and all of us need to be willing to play our part. #findingmyself #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #mychemicaldoughmanc
#day35 with #frodoughbaggins, finding joy in little things to have the energy to persist. As African American poet Toi Derricotte said, “Joy is an act of resistance.” #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance #samrisegamgee
#day32 with #frodoughbaggins and I am just in awe of how resilient they are. I only had a small bit left after getting ready to bake today, and the fact that it will soon be enough to fill this jar is amazing to me. #findingmyself #sourdough #mychemicaldoughmance
Am I overwhelmed and overstimulated? Yes. Am I planning on adding trying to make a loaf or two of #sourdough bread instead of taking a step back? Also yes. It’ll be fiiiine! #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance #frodoughbaggins #onemonth
#day31 with #frodoughbaggins and we are officially a month into our journey! A good feed in preparation for another baking attempt this week, and some #discard for #samrisegamgee to hopefully make some pizza crust for dinner. #sourdough #findingmyself #mychemicaldoughmance
