About Me

Don’t let 10 years go by because you think you don’t have the space or time!

Imagine. You sit down one day and look back. Suddenly, you realize that an entire decade has passed you by. You really wanted a Homestead but didn’t have the land or the budget to get it. You didn’t have the time; you were just so busy with work, the kids, and cleaning. It was a madhouse!

Now, with more perspective, you realize you could have done something. Anything! Even if it was small. Just a plant here and there in places you could have fit them. A bit of preserving on a Saturday. Freezing herbs and veggies that are going bad…

It may not have been the big plan you had in your dreams, but you could have done many little things to support your budget, health, and body.

This was me a couple of years ago, and it just eats at me when I think about the wasted time!! Don’t let this regret be yours!! Start Today.

Hello. My Name is PJ (blame my Mom, not my choice lol). I’m a Mom, a Full-Time Employee for someone else, and a small-scale homesteader. This website is for women & Parents that want a healthier, more self-sufficient lifestyle. I want to inspire you & help you see your life’s potential to have a Small-Scale Homestead of your own!

I spent years thinking that I just didn’t have enough space for a large garden, or what I now call a Small Scale Homestead.

So sure, I didn’t have the time. Long work days at a demanding job, kiddos, cleaning, cooking, it just went by so fast!

Now I run a small-scale homestead on a Suburban lot that’s only 6600 square feet, including the house. Per HOA, no “crops” in the front yard in sight of the road. So literally everything is the backyard.

I have learned that no matter how much land you have (or don’t have), no matter the amount of time that you can spare, there is a Small Scale Homestead in your future. You just have to make up your mind to do what is appropriate for your amount of space in the spare time you can scrounge up!

Start experimenting with container gardens, organic gardening, even shelves and grow lights. What I have come to realize is that you can do this even if you have zero outdoor space! Just some wall space or a bit of room in front of a well-lit window and you’re in business!

Let me show you that it’s possible to get started and make a difference in your health and your family’s. Right now! Take a journey with me and see what you can do to provide organic, nutrient-rich foods for your family in whatever quantities you’re able.

All mistakes are acceptable, kiddos welcome.
