Are you a busy wife and mom who longs for a simpler life, one that’s peaceful and unhurried? But you have no idea where to start? Do you look up healthy recipes to make for your family but run out of time or don’t have all the ingredients, so you grab something on the go?

Do you want to create a simpler, less toxic home and declutter, so you spend less time cleaning?

Do you want to spend less money so you can spend more time with your family and less time at work? Or even be able to live and thrive on one income?

I am so excited you’re here!

This blog is your go-to guide to achieving an unhurried, simple life. One life that brings you joy. Bring balance back to your home and learn how to feed that family of yours and keep a clean (ish) organized home for your family to thrive in. This podcast will teach you how to become more self-sufficient, grow your own garden, preserve the fruits of your labor, and bake your own bread and treats your family loves to eat. And create a simple, cozy, peaceful home.

Hey, I’m Alicia—an entrepreneur, wife, midwestern mama, and former yes girl.

I used to be overwhelmed, overscheduled, and simply trying to fit too much into our lives. 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! 🌱
