Our story
We got married 6 years ago and bought our first home on 1.5 acres of land. There was so much potential in the property and house, but so much work needed to be done on both. No worries- I married a handyman! As newlyweds we were living on a tight budget- so we had to get creative to save money to do some small but transformative updates to our home. Shortly into our journey of home ownership- we found out we were pregnant with our first child! We were over the moon and at the same time terrified. As parents to be- we started to consider (maybe for the first time) products & food we were using and consuming daily- this catapulted us into a major lifestyle switch.
Fast forward 6 years- we have two kids (5 and 3), we have been pursuing a simple lifestyle, intentionally sourcing our food and products, we own front yard chickens, our garden has tripled in size! We have a deep desire to buy 10 + acres, own more farm animals and build or renovate our dream home. Come along with us as we work towards a slower paced life- a life of intentional simple living in Our Little Valley!
A bit about me
I am from a small town in NC. I’m the oldest of 2. My parents still live in the same early 1900s home I grew up in. I think this home and all it’s character, charm and good bones- ruined me from ever wanting a brand new home.
In high school I competed in the state championship for girls golf! I had once dreamed of a college golf scholarship while studying to be an engineer- life took a different turn.
As a nurse by trade-turned homesteading enthusiast- and stay at home mom.
Growing up my family had a full acre garden and swore I would NEVER have a garden… Little did I know one day when it was my own.. it would be a favorite passtime!
I am a health enthusiast- always looking for the next recipe to try.
My 4 year old sourdough starter, that is basically a house pet.
If you ask me where my favorite place to be-it’s outside with my family working on something together.
