About

My name is Jane, and this little corner of the internet is where I share my journey of creating a home rooted in homemade living, simplicity, and intention. As a homemaker with a heart for homesteading, I’ve found joy often in slowing down and doing things by hand—baking bread from scratch, tending to everyday routines, and nurturing a home that supports my family well.

Here, you’ll find encouragement and practical ideas for frugal living, traditional homemaking skills, DIY projects, and the gentle rhythms of a from-scratch home. My hope is that each visit inspires you to embrace a more intentional way of living and reminds you that creating a warm, homemade home is both meaningful and deeply rewarding.

Make yourself at home.

Homemaking | From Scratch Living | Slow Living 🏡Creating a home that nurtures, sustains, and inspires—one simple homemade project at a time.

I wish I have a cow and have a direct source of mi I wish I have a cow and have a direct source of milk and heavy cream, but I don’t. So I buy heavy whipping cream from the store. 

But with 1 liter of heavy cream, I can make 300g of pure butter, a cup of sour cream, 2 cups of buttermilk or buttermilk powder. 

There are so many real food and pantry staples you can make with heavy cream!

I love vanilla in every form—extract, paste, powde I love vanilla in every form—extract, paste, powder… even its warm, comforting scent. You’ll find it in my cakes, cookies, and coffee. 

But my favorite way to enjoy vanilla is by making my own vanilla extract to give as Christmas gifts. It’s simple, thoughtful and useful.

If you’ve ever wanted to make your own, now is the perfect time to start. A batch made today will be ready by October and even richer and more flavorful by December—just in time for holiday baking and gift-giving. Comment for details or to learn where I got my vanilla beans!
