If you’ve felt the pull to slow down. To create and cultivate a more homegrown life that’s simple, and fulfilling, and to truly enjoy the magic of ordinary days, then friend, you found your place.
We’ll chat about everything from gardening and scratch cooking, to homeschooling and motherhood. With some sarcasm sprinkled in of course because, I am my Daddy‘s daughter and Lord knows I’m fluent in that. Whatever it is we’re discussing, I’m by no means an expert. I’m just sharing my experiences and making the most of the little moments in between. Join me, and cultivate your own homegrown hopes.

Love every episode

I can’t wait to hear each weeks new drop. I am barely able to find podcasts. I’m new to the whole IPhone world lol. When I learn how and where to leave a review I will definitely leave one. I have enjoyed your stories. Your guests and everything everyone has offered up. Keep them coming. It gets me through my work day Lori M Connelly Springs
