Hey, I’m Alicia—an entrepreneur, wife, midwestern mama, and homesteader.
I used to be overwhelmed, overscheduled, and simply trying to fit too much into my live. One day, I had enough and decided things needed to change, and I’ve never looked back!
I finally realized that if I was going to create the life I dreamed of, I would have to make some changes. One by one, I started clearing my schedule, saying no to time-wasting tasks, learning to cook from scratch, and enjoying a sustainable pace of life. I am so glad that I did!!
I got clear on the life I wanted, read books, took courses, prayed a lot, and slowly sifted out things that didn’t fit. And now I’m ready to share my journey with you and help you create the life you dream of! It’s possible, my friend!
If you’re ready to discover the secret to creating a simple, unhurried life so you and your family can thrive, this blog is for you!
Grab those seed packets. It’s time to grow, girl! 🌱

Hi! I’m Alicia!
I’m so happy to have you here! A little about me…
I’m a wife, mama, entrepreneur, and suburban homesteader.
I’ve been happily married to my best friend, Jeremy for 17 years. We live on a quarter acre in Michigan where we raise our son Jackson and our bonus son Nolan.
On our little homestead we raise Chickens, fresh eggs every morning! Plus, they make fun companions, and we have a garden and preserve food.
If I’m not outside, you will probably find me in the kitchen. I love to cook or do a fun DIY project in the house.
Want to be friends??
