About

Welcome! It’s good to have you here.

My name is Anne. Our family of four lives on two acres in rural Virginia and together, we’ve embarked on our first year of homesteading. We’re on a journey towards living with more purpose. So when we can, we choose sustainable, healthy, low waste, ethical options — and do it all on a low budget! 

We’re learning to embrace the process one change at a time, laugh at our missteps, and find joy in the journey. We’ll uncover delicious recipes, research alternative options for the home, and look for ways to support brands who are committed to the good work of fostering our communities and the earth. As we go along, we’ll pass it on!

We ALL have something to give, and while I don’t think the world needs another blogger, I do think we need each other to keep hopeful and stay the course towards peacemaking. I hope that opening a window into our little world encourages you to make even the smallest steps supporting more sustainable and healthy lifestyles. Likewise, I look forward to talking with like-minded people who have experiences and suggestions of their own to share. Together, we can support one another in making one change at a time. Let’s unite imagination with action — to better seek change for our health, our environment, and those in our global community with unmet needs and fewer opportunities. 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll join us in this wonderful, messy, and exciting journey!
