My kiddos are Weston- (19), Wyatt- (17), Lilly Jo (14), and Ellie (10).  They are my most favorite people and I enjoy every moment I get to be in their presence. I love to garden, listen to music, read, & snuggle my 3 weiner dogs.  I love early mornings, being outside, coffee, pumpkins, fishing, baseball, music, reading, growing plants & anything creative.  I deeply deeply rely on Jesus and his unyielding grace and strength to carry me through every day.  I just want to let Jesus shine through me.  

Y'all remember COVID lock down? 🙃 During that time at home with 4 kiddos, I started asking the question, “If I was cut off from the leisures of this life, what do I need to survive?”  I’ve always been a do it yourself kinda gal, canning jellies, home improvements and growing my own produce.  There is something so, so rewarding in working hard on something you love.  We are a few generations removed from knowing how to make our own soap, milk a cow, or grow our own food.  I’m curious about getting back to those skills.  What I’ve found is that it really isn’t as complicated as we think, but requires hard work and most of all…time.  Like my Papa James taught me, "Em, all you really have to do is START."                                                                                                                                I started my  journey into making my own products by rendering lard from a pig into soap in my home kitchen.  I use essential oils and herbs I grow at home to help me provide enjoyable smells to my products without compromising health.    The most exciting part is sharing these products with others knowing that EVERY ingredient I use is good for you, and has a story. 

Thank you so much for tuning in and being curious about what I do.

God bless ,
