Hello there, I’m so excited you’re considering Hand Made, to help you get back to the basics and the things that really matter. Let me offer you a Mason jar filled with homemade herbal tea and a comfy seat on the back porch, with a quilt nearby in case a breeze comes up. As the found of the popular Pioneering Today podcast, blog, and the Pioneering Today Academy, a 5th generation homesteader who is eager to share the ways of old with a modern world, I’m passionate about teaching people how to kick the unhealthy processed items from our home. Because homemade is better, for our health and our souls, and it doesn’t have to be hectic.
There is something to be said about the wisdom and traditional ways of making things at home, instead of purchasing them from a store, that is quickly being lost in our modern world. There’s a disconnect that it has to be one or the other. It’s simply not true, we can still have our modern conveniences without losing the precious knowledge and skill sets of those who went before us. In Hand Made I share stories, recipes, and hard learned truths from my father and grandmother who lived through the Great Depression.
It is my hope and prayer that you will find balance and truths within these pages that will transform your home into a haven, a sanctuary, a place you love to be and gladly open your doors and hearts for others to come in and feel loved.
Those who want to feed their families wholesome nourishing food, who refuse to sacrifice health with processed packages of convenience
