About

Just a crazy girl in the woods, with a few kids and a bunch of animals.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

-Henry David Thoreau

Who the hell am I?

Honestly, I’m still figuring that out. 

What I do know is I’m a mom, a writer, and more often than not a huge anxious mess.

I’m an amateur at almost everything so I can’t say that this is a blog for anyone looking for life advice. 

I’ve been gardening and learning about plants for a few years now and it’s something I really enjoy, but I’m definitely an amateur. I love taking photos and took a few college courses but I wouldn’t say I’m a pro. I inherited the family gene for old fashioned southern cooking, which translates to: nothing is measured and I’ve never written it down. 

I also live with extreme anxiety, and I deal with it by writing about it, because after 32 years it’s obviously not going anywhere. 

So if you’re looking for someone who has no idea what she’s doing 75% of the time, is an old hermit at heart, or if you’re just really bored then you’re in the right place. 

I write about…

Gardening and permaculture

Raising kids these days

Remodeling my little mobile home

Living in the woods

Life with anxiety and depression

Downsizing and Minimizing

Chickens!!!
