Hi! I’m Stephanie
I’m a busy mom of three kids under 5, trying to learn ways to ensure my family’s health, safety, and comfort!
I love to garden, preserve food, cook, and learn old fashioned skills. I can’t get enough of anything old, dusty, and full of tradition!
I believe that learning and sharing these self-sufficient skills with our children is so important.
While it can be a struggle to incorporate all of these projects into a normal, modern life, I have found ways to make it easy, fun, and possible no matter where you live or who you are and I can’t wait to share them with you!
How we can work together
