My journey began with a simple desire – my husband and I wanted to instill in our children a knowledge that we believe is often overlooked and forgotten in our fast-paced world. We’ve cultivated a lifestyle where we raise livestock, nurture our garden, forage for mushrooms, craft with our hands, create our own remedies, and cook wholesome, homegrown meals made with love.

In sharing the little glimpses of wisdom and experience I’ve gathered over the years, my goal is to help others learn how to help themselves, just as we’ve learned to be. I’m here to show you that you CAN do this. You can start small, learning one herb at a time, cooking one meal at a time, planting one seed at a time, or mastering a new skill one step at a time, no matter how long it takes. This is not a race; it’s a gift that we’ve been given to continue growing.

Every day, I make it a point to “learn something old” – a valuable piece of knowledge passed down through generations. I’m thrilled to have you along for this journey, to share my discoveries, and to encourage you to embrace the beauty of slow, deliberate progress.
