Hi friend, I’m Amanda — a homemaker, homesteader-at-heart, and mom who believes that a peaceful home begins with a peaceful heart.
Over two decades ago, I began my stay-at-home journey with a heart full of dreams (and a sink full of dishes). I didn’t plan to become passionate about herbal remedies, canning, or essential oils — I simply wanted to care for my family the best I could. But one small step at a time, God began teaching me to slow down, simplify, and find joy in the work of my hands.
What started with cooking and baking from scratch grew into a love for food preservation, herbalism, sustainable living, and natural wellness. Along the way, I discovered something deeper — that homemaking isn’t just about keeping a tidy house. It’s about creating a home that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
Now, I share what I’ve learned through my blog, handmade creations, and resources to help other moms do the same — to live simply, intentionally, and joyfully right where they are.
