ABOUT ME
I don’t do normal.
Are you sick of the status quo? Disillusioned by convention? Underwhelmed by “the easy way”? Do you feel in your bones that you were meant for more than this endless merry-go-round of working in a job you don’t love all week, only to spend the weekends chasing cheap entertainment and an incomplete, agitated “rest”? Are you living life in the fast lane, in search of the exit ramp?
I’m Heather and I’m here to tell you that the “normal” view of “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” falls way short of what we were made for. From food security and farm-inspired recipes to self-sufficiency, homestead-ish skills, diy projects, and encouragement on your journey into REAL freedom (and what it really means), let me help you find that exit ramp so you can live the life you know you were meant for.
As a homeschooling, homesteading, grass-farming, goat and poultry-raising, budget-conscious momma, I work hard, play hard, and pray hard. What I do know, I know well. The things I don’t know, I don’t pretend to know. For more than 10 years, I’ve fought for a more self-sufficient lifestyle in the midst of our modern culture. Learn from my mistakes, and grow along with me.

Embracing the Suck
It’s winter, y’all. Like, really winter. Not just according to the calendar, but according to the thermometer. I know all you Yankees–which to us Texans is anyone north of the Red River–are laughing your socks off at me right now. I know y’all are used to sub-zero temps, lake effect snow a la straight off of the Great Lakes,…
