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.

Chickens & Ducks
Our first exposure to caring for feathered friends was when we joined a community garden at the edge of a salt marsh. Learn more about natural care for your current/future flock…

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.

Cook from Scratch
It doesn’t have to be elaborate or complicated. You can do it on a budget with the same grocery list each week AND your kids can help!

Homeschooling
Home-based education is growing popularity and the possibilities and options are endless. This can be encouraging and overwhelming. The best part is home education can be personalized to your child(ren) & family’s needs!

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!)
