Loving our slow, simple, homemade life

Raising curious boys through books, bites, and the great outdoors.

A Homemade Life

Hey there!

Hi, I’m Ashley! My husband J and I homeschool our two boys, C and H. We love cooking together and spending as much time as possible outdoors—whether it’s in our backyard, at local parks and playgrounds, or exploring the ocean and forest.

We hope you enjoy reading about our daily adventures, and we look forward to sharing our lives with you. To respect our family’s privacy, my husband and children will remain anonymous throughout my posts.

Thanks so much for visiting!

About Me

Hey, I’m Ashley! I’ve pretty much lived in the same town my whole life—just took a little break for three years somewhere else. I used to work outside the home, but now I’m a stay-at-home homeschool mom to my two boys, and I’m loving it.

I’m married to my amazing husband, J, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do without him. We’re a team, and I’m so grateful for his love and support every day.

I’m all about living as naturally and toxin-free as I can, when I can with what I have. I’m still learning and we all have to start somewhere.

When I’m not homeschooling or hanging out with my family, you’ll probably find me at the beach (which I adore), crocheting, or painting—my little ways to unwind. Also, I’m a total cat person.

Thanks for stopping by and getting to know me!
