Welcome!
Join me on my family’s homesteading journey. I started this blog in 2024, posted twice, then jumped headfirst into growing some of my own food, trialing water bath canning, and baking sourdough. In that time, I left my poor blog in the dust. Now, January 2026, I’m ready to start documenting my progress again. It wont be perfect, and that’s okay. Follow along as I wrangle night shift, three kids, and a suburban homestead on 0.4 acres in New England.

I am a wife and mom to 3 under 5, working weekend nights as a registered nurse. I have always lived in the comfort of the suburbs and at the start of this journey, the extent of my ”farming” knowledge was how to feed a dog and how to water cut flowers. However, with each added kid, I have taken on more and more “crunchy” hobbies.

My dream is for my home: to work it, to grow it, and to cultivate the faith and lives of the tiny humans living in it.

Homesteading is often seen through rose-colored glasses. Join my journey as we live in the true nitty gritty: frugal living, early mornings, lots of wins and even more humbling mistakes. I want to learn how to slow down and live a more simple lifestyle, but I moreso want to learn how that life can be sustained beyond the fad, through the difficult days, and with a content heart.
