Hi, I’m Stephanie: a stay-at-home-mom of 3 (with #4 on the way) and wife to a crazy funny, nerdy husband.



I would like to help you “get back to your roots” in the now ever growing health & wellness world by offering my knowledge of what it takes to thrive.

My “superpower” is researching interests, questions, remedies, etc. However, regurgitating the information is what I need to work on (a big reason why I started this blog!) so that I can share what I have learned with my family, friends and you!

I’m no expert, but having my own “rough and ready” wellness journey for over the past 9 years has helped prepare me to share all my knowledge nuggets with you. The great thing about this journey of mine is that I have so many stepping stones and continue to learn everyday. Probably the largest amount of this healthy life knowledge has really developed in the past 5 or 6 years since I started have kids–they change your life!


Here’s an interesting list of things you might like to know about me:

  1. I have lived in the Pacific Northwest, backwoods of the Appalachian Mountains, the high plains of Mexico, the English countryside, and the Front Range of Colorado
  2. I studied photography at school and am an amateur photographer
  3. I enjoy doing at home workouts or programs
  4. Cooking recipes from scratch is a hobby, the more authentic the better
  5. When it comes to my insecurities I take the Scarlett O’Hara approach–“I won’t think about that today, I’ll think about that tomorrow” (I definitely need to work on this!)
  6. Watching or listening to ASMR videos relaxes me
  7. Quality family time is very important to me–we love to play games and watch movies
  8. Hubby and I are high school sweethearts
  9. A daily struggle of mine and a constant “New Year’s Resolution”: TIME MANAGEMENT
  10. A joint dream of hubby and I is to homestead and travel
