ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Lauren!
Greetings from sunny Southern California, where I’ve managed to transform my suburban dwelling into a work-in-progress urban homestead! Who needs acres of land when you’ve got creativity and a healthy dose of resourcefulness, right?
My garden is my pride and joy, and I’m always on the hunt for budget-friendly and easy ways to keep it thriving (even if sometimes they aren’t the most Pinterest-worthy). When I’m not getting my hands dirty, you can find me preserving food from my garden (and the grocery store) like a modern-day squirrel. Hey, you never know when the zombie apocalypse might hit or when you’ll just really crave some homemade jam!
My mission? To become as self-sufficient as possible. And if I can inspire others to join me on this wild journey, even better!
Where you can find me!
Curious to see what I’m doing in my backyard homestead?
Join me on Instagram for a sneak peek into my world. I’ll take you along with garden updates, my latest food preservation adventures, and all the ways I’m preparing for emergencies.
I’ll also share my best tips and things I’m learning along the way to help you as you create your simple backyard homestead too.
