Hello there!
My name is Stephanie. I’m a passionate foodie, food allergy mom, Paleo diet lover, and now…future homesteader.
Years of watching my family struggle to fit inside the modern “box”, left me feeling drained and our family divided. After a health diagnosis and a nationwide pandemic pushed me to my wits end, I decided it was time to chart a new course.
I’m determined to embrace a “back to basics” way of life by eating cleaner, living simpler, and focusing on the things that truly matter. Family, faith, and FOOD!
