About

Hi! I’m Megan, and I’m really glad you’re here.

Who I Am

Like many people, I’ve been increasingly drawn to the idea of living more sustainably and building greater self-reliance into my daily life.

What started as a growing awareness of my environmental impact has evolved into a genuine passion for exploring ways to live more intentionally, from reducing waste and making more conscious choices about what I bring into my home to growing my own food and learning traditional skills that my great-grandmother would have taken for granted (literally; they were farmers).

I’ve been a freelance writer, editor, and SEO consultant for almost a decade. These days, I’m using those skills to dive deep into sustainability topics. When I’m not working on this site or for a client, you can usually find me outside in my garden, crafting, or curled up with a good book and a cup of tea.

What You’ll Find Here

This is where I share what I’m learning about sustainable living, traditional skills, and self-sufficiency; the real version, not the trad wife-y, Instagram-perfect one.

Overall, I want to help people live sustainably, save money, and improve their self-sufficiency by starting where they are; I firmly believe the “perfect” is the enemy of “good.” And I’m certainly not interested in taking myself too seriously.

If you’re interested in living more sustainably but don’t know where to start, or if you’re already on this path and looking for community, I hope you’ll stick around.

Thanks for being here!
