Hello Hello!
My name is Madelyn. I am a Wife, and homeschooling mom of three. Together with my amazing husband, we live on a rented 2-acre property. Owned by his parents who own a goat dairy in the rural Midwest. Here, we own over 50 ducks and call ducks, 10 chickens two cats, a rabbit, and a young Boarder Collie named Blazer. We’re self employed owners of two small businesses. We also run a local farmstand. I love to learn about all things natural, including at home products and recipes. I spend my days homeschooling, gardening, creating new recipes, and of course cleaning and decorating our home. My favorite part of the day is spending quiet evenings with my husband.
A little more about me:
It all began in 2016, as a fresh 18-year-old military wife, our budget was extremely tight, especially with a baby on the way soon after the wedding. Determined to stay debt-free, I learned about couponing, budgeting, and even started online reselling. However, I quickly realized that many coupon-eligible products contained harmful ingredients. This discovery sparked my journey towards a homemade, natural lifestyle.
By 23, pregnant with our third child, and battling chronic yeast, food intolerance, skin issues, brain fog, headaches, etc. I decided to take control of my health in a more profound way. After unhelpful (and expensive!) experiences with a naturopath, I turned to prayer, research, and a regimen removing everyday toxins, detox, whole foods, and homeopathy. This marked the beginning of a three-year deep healing journey.
Through countless hours of research and experimentation, I’ve learned how to live naturally and frugally, using simple, effective recipes and techniques. I’m thrilled to write this blog to share all my insights on natural living on a budget. I can’t wait to share my tips, tricks, and recipes with you!
