Nurturing a Simple Life: Homesteading, Homemaking, and Heartfelt Moments

  • The Crockpot Meals I Actually Like (From Someone Who Usually Doesn’t)

    I’ll just say it upfront: I am not a crockpot superfan. I want to love it. I really do. In theory, throwing everything in a pot and coming back to dinner magically finished sounds like a dream. In reality? My crockpot meals usually turn out dry, oddly flavored, or somehow still not done when it’s…

  • Our February: Warm, Simple, and Real-Life Cozy

    February is that in-between month. The Christmas glow is gone, spring isn’t here yet, and the weather can’t decide what it’s doing.

    I’ve been standing in my house lately, looking around, with this tightness in my chest that I can’t quite shake. It’s not that my home is messy in the “can’t-see-the-floor” kind of way (except maybe the the bedrooms 😂). It’s just full. Full of clothes the kids have outgrown, kitchen gadgets I thought I’d use,…

  • Toddler Christmas Gift Ideas

    This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our Disclosure Policy. There is nothing quite like Christmas shopping for a toddler. It’s magical. It’s adorable.
