Your Guide to Live Simply, Eat Well, and Adventure

Hey there! I’m Kaylene. I grew up eating cereal and frozen waffles before running out the door to catch the school bus. Now, one marriage, four children and three decades later, breakfast is homemade breads, cinnamon rolls, quiches and pancakes and my mornings are slow and rhythmic. On my blog I share from scratch recipes, DIY garden & farming hacks along with homeschool encouragement through our home education resource Classic Family Read Alouds.

DIY Garden Hacks

We first started gardening in a community garden before we had any outdoor space. That was our first introduction to raised garden beads, seaweed fertilizers, nitrogen fixing plants, etc.

Hi! I’m Kaylene!

I grew up eating cereal and frozen waffles before running out the door to catch the school bus. Now, one marriage, four children and three decades later, breakfast is homemade breads, cinnamon rolls, quiches and pancakes and my mornings are slow and rhythmic–farm chores, homeschooling and nature walks (and lots of lots of snuggles on the couch with a good read aloud!)
