Hello and welcome! Hi, I’m Jessica, a busy homeschooling, homesteading mom dedicated to inspiring and supporting moms to cook homemade meals from scratch and providing DIY tips and tutorials for creating natural cleaning and personal care products for a happy and healthy home environment.
Whether you’re interested in family-friendly meals, spending less time in the kitchen, or trimming down your budget with DIY alternatives to popular store-bought products, I’m here to support your effort of crafting a love-filled home.
Let’s embark on this journey together and embrace the joy of homemaking.
My story
When I became a mom at age 23, I was determined to give my children the best home environment possible. But I had no idea how to do that. I was young and inexperienced, living on a small budget, in a rural location without stores nearby and pretty isolated from family and friends I had known for years.
It was me, my husband and our baby girl. The only way to get the close-knit family environment I had always dreamed of was to build it from scratch and make it happen. It wasn’t as simple as buying the things I wanted, I had to make them.
That’s when I decided to commit to home cooking, crafting, and DIY methods with natural, chemical-free ingredients. At the time it was out of necessity and felt like an impossible me-against-the-world kind of choice.
But, you know what? It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
I rolled up my sleeves and dove into the world of DIY. It wasn’t always easy, and there were definitely some trial-and-error moments along the way. But I discovered I absolutely love the process and find the sense of accomplishment after creating homemade solutions very fulfilling.
Choosing to do more at home makes the home a center of learning and joy for the whole family. With this approach, children grow up with healthy exposure to knowing how to clean, cook, and add a thoughtful touch to their environment that turns a house into a home. This will help our daughters be good wives one day and our sons to be good husbands.
Now, through Easy Homemade Life, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned, focusing on practical, effective, affordable solutions that fit seamlessly into our everyday lives.
The Everyday Simple Approach
I know how important it is to balance health, convenience, and budget, so I’ve developed a proprietary system called the Everyday Simple Approach, designed to help you navigate the challenges of maintaining a natural lifestyle while juggling a busy schedule and a tight budget.
With a focus on easy homemade living, I bring you staple recipes for your everyday meals, essential cleaning solutions for a sparkling home, and DIY personal care products that are good for you and the environment.

Now it’s your turn
The journey of homemaking isn’t just about trying new things. It’s about transforming your life, becoming more capable, and embracing newfound confidence in “doing all the things.”
Say goodbye to stress and overwhelm and hello to peace and harmony as your foundation of daily habits becomes stronger and more streamlined.
My hope is that you keep taking small but consistent steps to prioritize a homemade life so you can implement daily habits that make household tasks like shopping, meal prep, celebrating, and clean-up a breeze.
The process is about finding joy in homemaking even when you’re short on time, money and patience. With Easy Homemade Life, I want to show you that caring for your family and creating a happy home doesn’t have to be a burden.

I come from a family that always did store-bought, from birthday cakes to bars of soap. We even sometimes had a weekly gardener or housekeeper. So, it's with a little trepidation and a lot of excitement that I am finally ready to jump into this lifestyle!
