About me
Hey guys! I’m Mikki, I’m so excited you are here! A little bit about me, I am a 90s baby, born and raised as a small-town Midwest girl. I grew up on a small farm doing your basic farm kid things; riding horses, catching chickens, gardening, canning, riding in the tractors, all the fun things farm kids grow up doing. I am now a wife to the best husband and very proud dog mama to 3 amazing (and spoiled) pups. We are living and loving small-town Midwest life. I absolutely love spending as much time as I can outdoors, love to curl up with a good book, am always down for a DIY project, love to paint and draw, and I also have a passion for cleaner and simpler living! Which brings me to my next point..
Why
There is no question about it, our generation today is struggling more and more with our mental, hormonal, physical, and emotional health. We are becoming more aware that so many of our household products and food are packed full of harmful and toxic ingredients contributing to this. While yes it is so convenient to run to the grocery store and grab a highly processed frozen meal to serve for dinner, at what cost is that convenience worth? I truly believe with every bone in my body, that we are not meant to live our lives this way, and our bodies I think are proof of that. I think our grandmas and great-grandmas all had it right. Simpler lives, with simpler ingredients. Being in touch with where their food came from, making meals by hand, spending time in nature, and living better. That is what Back to the Basics Homestead is all about! Getting back to the basics so we can live our lives and tend our homes cleaner and simpler! I am so excited to have you following along on this journey as we figure it out together!
Now that you know a bit about me, I’d love to get to know you! Send me an email. Tell me about yourself, share any suggestions, ask questions. You can also check me out on Pinterest! I cannot wait to hear from you!
Love, Mikki
