After spending most of my life pursuing a PhD in science, I am now living my dream as a stay-at-home mom on a little homestead in eastern Canada. My husband Jerry and I are raising our two sweet boys, along with our dog and 14 chickens, on 8 acres in a small fixer-upper surrounded by nature. I’ve always dreamed of a simple, intentional life close to the land, and I’m so grateful to be living it.
” Join me in our simple, healthy, homemade life”
I am a crunchy (-ish) mom who feeds her family liver every week, doesn’t allow fragrances in her home, but lets her kids get the free cookies from the grocery store. I think life is all about balance.
Jokes apart, I am passionate about keeping myself and my family healthy. I like to feed my family a clean diet, mostly grain-free, and full of superfoods such as organ meats. I also try my best to stay away from harmful things and create a toxin-free home. Take a look at my posts on healthy living!
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and cook all our food from scratch. Check out some of my favorite recipes!
My other big passion is making things with my own hands. Whether it is trying a new recipe, gardening, or making my home beautiful, I’m always doing something and learning new things. Check out my posts on a homemade life and stay tuned as I show you how we transformed our little boring bungalow into a cozy cottage place to call home.
