Hi there!

I am Sandra

Get started on your homestead journey with me.

I live in a little apple-growing village in New Brunswick, Canada with my husband Cory, our three girls, 19 clucky chickens, one spoiled house pigeon, and our two dogs Ani — our lovable pit-bull mix, and Sybil - my over the top black lab.

By day, I work as a private senior support person and house cleaner in my community. By night (and early morning, and in between chores), I’m in the garden, tending critters, or working on our dream — turning our 1970’s fixer-upper into a cozy, modern homestead.

My work-from-home adventure started back in 2009 when my youngest was born. I left my nerve-rattling call center job to raise my kids and find a way to earn from home. Over the years, I’ve freelanced in website design, social media marketing, and content curation — helping other businesses make hundreds of thousands in revenue.

Now it’s my turn. I’m taking everything I’ve learned and building my own business — not just for me, but to help others do the same. My goal is to turn this online business into a full-time gig so I can scale back my homecare work, spend more time on the homestead, and live the life we’ve been working toward for years.

Around here, you’ll find homesteading tips, canning and gardening stories, and real talk about growing a business from scratch. I’ll share the wins, the flops, and all the lessons in between — so you can take what works and build your own dream, too.

If you love a mix of country life and honest business talk, you’re in the right place — welcome to my acre.
