Hello, and welcome!
Hello and welcome! I’m Tina, the heart and hands behind this blog. I am here to share my journey, which is one of healing; and in finding possibility and joy in new beginnings. It is a path that led my husband, Brian, and I from the life of industrial farming on the prairie, to the scaling down to a small piece of land in the mountains. It’s a tale of pain turned to joy, and the blessing of embracing a simple, self sufficient lifestyle.
This change we have made is more than just a lifestyle to me; it’s about being responsible with what God has given to us, being self-reliant, and rediscovering the traditional skills that were once used by our ancestors before us.
This blog is a window into my world – a place where I share our experiences, triumphs, and challenges as we walk the road of renewing our roots.
What to Expect Here
Discover how we walked a journey of surviving difficult life circumstances, and came to a place of no longer surviving, but THRIVING. Join us as we create a purposeful, and beautiful life, in a farmhouse far back in a breathtaking mountain valley. Each post is an entry of our personal journey. But this blog isn’t just about what I do; it’s about what we can learn together, because there is always something to learn along the way!

It’s a space for sharing knowledge, inspiring each other and building a community of likeminded individuals who share a passion for a simpler, more sustainable way of life. It’s a place for many out there who long, as we have, to return to and renew their roots.
So, whether you have been in similar circumstances, or you are experienced in this lifestyle, just beginning, or simply enjoy reading about it, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let’s learn, grow and thrive together in pursuit of a more grounded gratifying existence.
