I’ve been married for twelve years and am “mom” to four man cubs. We’re a home schoolin’ family. We’re a “do most everything ourselves or from scratch” family. We’re weird. Or, I’m weird, rather. And everyone else is learnin’ the ways of the Force.

When I started doin’ “all of this” ages ago, I had no idea how much people would enjoy readin’ about our feral shenanigans. And how much people would need the laughs and inspiration, for that matter.

At one time, much of what I do in our home was a way of life—not a “lifestyle.” I’m one of those “old souls” in some ways. I prefer a simpler life. I don’t need all the things our society is convinced that we need in order to be happy. Which is a huge reason as to why my original social media niche began expandin’ into this blog. There is so much to share about our way of life—how we save ourselves time, money, and sanity while home schoolin’, and cookin’ from scratch, makin’ our bath & body products, and survivin’ parenthood in general. There are simply so many movin’ parts. And where I have figured out what best works for us, I share it with the world.

Influencin’ people to be involved in the lives of their children, creatin’ memories at home, and simply livin’ without all the extra unnecessary things is somethin’ I take great pride in. My family is my passion. And I hope with each new inspiration that comes to mind, you find that same kinda passion!
