Hello! I’m Ashley, stay-at-home mom of five turned homeschooling homesteader.
When I’m not here in my little corner of the internet, you’ll find me barefoot in the garden or making something in the kitchen with my kids.
Starting a homestead
I always knew I wanted a homestead – though I didn’t know it was actually called homesteading until a few years ago.
But oh, did I dream of growing a garden to feed my family from and to have a little flock of free ranging chickens in my backyard.
Well, the garden turned out much bigger than I ever dreamed. As did the flock of chickens. (#chickenmath)
Now we’re here, on our little homestead with our big family; growing. making. raising.
I love seeing others planting their first seeds, bringing home their first chicks, and all of the beautiful, slow living moments in between.
