About Me

Hello! I am Brenda, I’m also “Mom”, and some of my favorite people call me “Mimi”.

My faith

My Heavenly Father is foremost in my life. I try to live as He would want me to and as the Bible instructs but I fail everyday. God’s grace gets me through my own mistakes.

We took a big trip to start our little homestead

I absolutely love living in the country. My life didn’t start out this way since I grew up in the city. Getting used to these big changes took some time, however, I think I’ve adjusted well. My husband, my kids, and their kids are very important to me. That’s why we moved our family 1200 miles from my childhood home. We grow our garden and preserve our food. We built our house almost entirely on our own. So, I guess you could say we were homesteading before today’s generation made it popular.😎

I live a simple life

I have so many stories about my life that I have decided to tell you some of them. Maybe I can share some things I’ve learned over the years. Although I’m no expert, I would like to share some things about cooking, canning, gardening and so much more! We live a simple, old fashioned life here. So, if that’s what you would like to try, then please join me for some tips and tricks.

My life with my grandkids

I take care of 3 out of 4 of my grandkids while their parents go to work. That’s probably not unusual to you because I know there are many grandparents who do the same. However, I also help homeschool 3 of these wild little creatures. It is my hope to meet other parents-of-parents that are helping educate the little ones. Sometimes these days are a real challenge, but I have a lot of fun with them!

Grab a cup of coffee …my favorite! or tea, sit down with me…. and relax a bit.
