At 29 years old, life has already gifted me with incredible experiences – from being a proud parent to my two amazing children and two wonderful step-children, to embarking on a journey of love and growth with my fiancé and a whole “lotta” crazy in between. The story of Gardens and Grubs began as a humble spark (which means an ADHD hyper-fixation hobby), ignited by our shared devotion to our repti
le companions. As a New Hampshire based feeder farm, I found myself nurturing not only the creatures we cared for but also an intense spirituality with nature. This newfound appreciation inspired us to take a closer look at our lifestyle and set out on a path toward greater self-sufficiency. Alongside my fiancé’s inspiring weight loss transformation, we underwent a profound shift in our daily choices and priorities. Our commitment to living organically and sustainably grew stronger, and we embraced a lifestyle that aligned with our values. Our household became a testament to mindful living, marked by a relentless pursuit of a minimal-waste approach. The transformation we experienced as a family was too significant to keep to ourselves. It wasn’t long before the idea of a Gardens and Grubs blog took root – a place where I could share our adventures, lessons, and the wisdom we have gathered along the way. My lifestyle blog emerged as a space to offer insights into gardening, clean living, and the harmonious blend of public schooling and homeschooling for our children. As a mother living with ADHD, I also open up about some of those experiences, aiming to create a sense of camaraderie for those who may relate.
