Welcome!

I’m The Author

This is the place I share my passions, creativity and my life off grid. Our home is full of energy and creativity. We are a homeschooling family of six- our four children were born within five years of each other! We live off the grid and are building our dream home using timber and materials from our land. Its safe to say that my tiny house is never fully clean, and I haven’t gotten a full nights sleep in forever. But the love is abundant, and that is what matters most. I am so glad you have found me, and I hope you consider sticking around for the fun.

what exactly is this blog about?

Achieving the life you desire

I am driven to succeed, to achieve, and to conquer my dreams.

My biggest dream being FAMILY. All I have ever wanted since I can remember is to raise a whole bunch of kids on a big chunk of land, become self sufficient, build a beautiful house with my husband, and create things. As I grew up I also realized I was a serial entrepreneur, constantly creating business plans and thinking up ways to make money. I’m not a money hungry person, but I am a freedom hungry person. And what better way to be free than to become your own boss and provide for your family! Thats a huge part of self sufficiency. And that’s why I also include business ideas on the blog, specially geared to the mom whos at home, or the couple who want to live more freely and start their own gig. I love providing ideas for side hustles, extra cash flow, or a hobby that can pay for itself in sales.

A Lovely Place Called Home
A Lovely Place Called Home

This podcast is a practical tool for your homesteading toolbelt. Each episode walks through the real numbers, systems, and decisions behind building a working homestead — not the aesthetic version, the functional one. We break down cost analyses, infrastructure planning, off-grid setups, livestock math, garden yields, land considerations, and whether an idea actually makes financial and logistical sense for your life.

If you’ve ever wondered “Could we really do this?” — this is where we run the numbers and find out. No hype. No fantasy. Just clear thinking, grounded strategy, and honest evaluation so you can build something stable, sustainable, and strong for your family.

Off Grid Bathroom: Toilets, Showering, Water Systems ep.10
byMicheon Hutchings

In this episode, I’m walking you through one of the most practical parts of off-grid living: the bathroom setup.

We’re talking toilets, showers, and how our water system work day to day while living off grid. This is one of those things people are always curious about, because it’s easy to picture the cozy side of homestead life, but the real questions usually come down to everyday systems.

How do you shower? Where does the water come from? What do you do for a toilet?

I’m sharing what our real-life setup looks like, what works for us, and some of the things we learned over the years of living this way. If you’re considering off-grid living, planning a tiny house, or just curious how these systems actually work, I hope this episode gives you a clear and honest look inside our day-to-day life.
