Welcome to My Beautiful Messy Life: Homesteading and Entrepreneurship

Hello there! I’m Brittany, and I’m so glad you’re here. Seven years ago, my family and I made a bold decision to pack up everything, move to the country, and completely transform our lives. It wasn’t easy, but it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Fueled by my passion for homesteading, self-sufficiency, and connecting with others, I now dedicate my time to helping people like you achieve your dreams of homesteading and entrepreneurship.

This blog is more than just a collection of articles; it’s a community. It’s a space where I share my successes, failures, tips, and strategies to inspire and guide you on your journey. Whether you’re looking to start your homestead, build a business, or simply learn more about self-sufficient living, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

About Me: The Heart Behind the Blog

I’m a lot of things—mother, homesteader, full-time worker, cookie dough enthusiast, and dreamer. My life is busy, messy, and beautifully unpredictable, but that’s what makes it so fulfilling. Every day is a new adventure, whether I’m planting vegetables in the garden, chasing chickens around the yard, or balancing the responsibilities of motherhood and a career.

Homesteading has taught me so much about resilience, patience, and finding joy in the little things. Over the years, I’ve learned to embrace the chaos and savor the accomplishments, no matter how small. Whether it’s successfully harvesting the first tomato of the season or seeing my children thrive in this self-sufficient lifestyle, every moment feels like a victory.

But let me be honest—homesteading isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. It comes with its fair share of challenges: unpredictable weather, learning new skills, and the occasional mishap (ask me about the time the chickens escaped!). Despite the hurdles, I’ve come to realize that it’s in those messy moments that we grow the most.

My Journey: From City Living to Country Life

Seven years ago, my family and I traded the hustle and bustle of city life for the quiet simplicity of the countryside. It was a leap of faith, and I’ll admit, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. The idea of starting over and building a life from scratch was both exciting and intimidating.

What we found was a newfound sense of freedom and possibility. The open space, fresh air, and connection to the land gave us something we had been missing: a deeper purpose. Homesteading has been a transformative experience, teaching us to be more self-reliant, resourceful, and connected to the earth.

Over the years, we’ve learned how to grow our own food, care for animals, preserve our harvest, and embrace the challenges and rewards of rural life. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of enjoying a meal made entirely from your own garden or seeing your children grow up surrounded by nature.

Of course, building a life from the ground up isn’t easy. It requires hard work, dedication, and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. There were days when I doubted myself, wondering if we had taken on too much. But those moments of doubt were always followed by moments of triumph, and I’m proud of how far we’ve come.

Today, we’re thriving in ways we never imagined, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share this journey with you.
