My name is Nicole and I started my blog with a desire to share our suburban homestead lifestyle with the world. My fiancee, Dustin, and I believe in whole, delicious, real food. Essential oils. Home gardens and canning. And prepping for the zombie apocalypse!I recently took the plunge into self-employment and it has been incredible. Between blogging, being a virtual assistant, writing, and managing my essential oils business I stay pretty busy!In between all that I  am a lucky God-momma to the most beautiful girl, engaged to the most amazing man I have ever known, and mommy to a couple very spoiled fur babies.I believe that every little step we take can create a better world and hope to provide you with the tools, encouragement and information to make some changes in your own life. Every little bit helps. And no matter what, we can all homestead right where we are now!
