Cultivating Home, Community, and Connection

This is where homesteading meets heart work—and where the chickens don’t always cooperate. I’m Tara—an eco-conscious Realtor, former health educator, and city girl turned chicken mama who decided to stop waiting for “someday” and start living the life I’d always dreamed of (mess and all).

Around here, you’ll find real tips for sustainable living, home upgrades that actually help the planet (and your property value), and little lessons from the backyard and beyond. I’ll share what’s worked, what flopped, and what I’m still figuring out—because building a life rooted in purpose takes courage, community, and a good sense of humor.

So whether you’re dreaming of fresh starts or just wondering how to keep your tomato plants alive, you’re in the right place.
