About the Author

Hello! My name is Shannon! I’m a geriatric occupational therapist by day, and ambitious homesteader by night.

There’s something beautiful in returning to your roots – swapping Tupperware for mason jars and pulling food out from the dirt in lieu of the refrigerated aisle at the grocery store. This is my journey back to basics, to the methods taught to me by my mother and her mother to her.

I’m a new wife and homeowner in North East Ohio. In the Fall of 2017, we started this crazy adventure of home ownership with a third of an acre to our names. As the projects began piling up I realized that I wanted to chronical this adventure. I wanted something to look back on, a before and after of sorts. This is my tangible and real-time project brought forth by the dream of digging my feet into the ground to take off running.

Follow us as we learn the ins-and-outs of this amusing life. We may not have the sprawling homestead of Pinterest dreams, but a lot can be done on less than an acre of land. The goal is to show you everything you can accomplish with small spaces and big dreams!
