Are you like me, yearning for a simpler life?

Then you’ve come to the right place.

Hello and welcome—I’m so glad you’re here.

My journey toward a slower, more intentional life began after years of stress and overwhelm. What started as a need for peace became a complete transformation. I found my way to the gentle rhythms of the countryside, where life is slower, more grounded, and filled with quiet joy. A life rooted in simplicity, connection, and the satisfaction of growing and creating with my own hands.

I’m not here to teach you how to become fully self-sufficient. I’m here to help you reclaim a little of what’s been lost in today’s fast-paced world.

Maybe that means keeping a few chickens, baking bread on a quiet Sunday morning, or growing your first tomatoes. You don’t need acres of land—just a small balcony or even a sunny windowsill. The smallest steps can make a big difference in how connected we feel to nature, and to ourselves.

But this blog isn’t just about what I do; it’s about what we can learn together. It’s a space for sharing knowledge, inspiring each other, and building a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for a simpler, less stressful way of life.

Let’s learn, grow, and thrive together in our pursuit of a more grounded and gratifying existence.

Welcome to my journey – where every day is an opportunity to cultivate happiness from the ground up.

So who am I?

I read Molecular Biology at university but left because it wasn’t really what I wanted to do. I been in direct sales, recruiting and training. I have had a flower and in home decor shop and a non invasive beauty salon. My dream was always to become a veterinarian but life had other plans.

My biggest interest has always been animals and nature. I got my first horse when I was 12 years old. My favorite dog breed is Irish Wolfhounds and I have been lucky to share my home with 2 of these magnificent animals.

The amount of animals in my live differ from time to time. But there’s always dogs. Now I have Arthur, a Romanian rescue and Mimi, a little Spanish rescue.

If you would ask my spouse about my best and worst quality he would say “No patience, a hell of a temper and she can never pass an injured animal without helping it” Funny enough he sees those as both good and bad.

Here’s some odd facts about me:

  • I’m a hopeless chicken hoarder
  • My absolute favorite farm animal are goats
  • I’m terrified of spiders
  • I live in the south of Sweden and the south of Spain
  • I love to read
  • I choose my chickens based on egg color
  • I drink way to much tea and coffee
