Hey, I’m Alicia—a suburban homesteader, wife and boy mom 💙
I used to be overwhelmed, overscheduled, and simply trying to fit too much into our lives. One day, I had enough and decided things needed to change, and I’ve never looked back!
I finally realized that if I was going to create the life I dreamed of, I would have to make some changes. One by one, I started clearing my schedule, saying no to time-wasting tasks, learning how to cook from scratch, and enjoying a sustainable pace of life. I am so glad that I did!!
I got clear on the life I wanted, read books, took courses, prayed a lot, and slowly sifted out things that didn’t fit into it. And now I’m ready to share my journey with you and help you create the life you dream of! It’s possible, my friend!
If you’re ready to discover the secret to creating a simple, unhurried life so you and your family can thrive, this podcast is for you!
Grab those seed packets. It’s time to grow, girl! 🌱

If you’re curious about getting started with water glassing or want to learn more about preserving your food sustainably, let’s dive into the conversation! Have you tried this method before?
