🌸 Whispers & Wildflowers: Musings from the Wellspring
Stories, skills, and slow living from a faith-rooted homestead
Welcome to my little corner of the wild and the well-rooted. This is where I share what’s blooming, what’s brewing, and what’s being stitched together by hand and heart. From herbal remedies to homeschooling, ducks to devotions, you’ll find simple skills, heartfelt stories, and old-fashioned wisdom for a slower, more intentional life.
Here at Wellspring & Wild, it’s not about having it all together—it’s about coming back to what matters. Faith. Family. The garden gate. The quiet work of hands in motion and hearts at rest.
So pour a cup of something cozy, kick your shoes off at the back door, and stay awhile. There’s plenty of good stuff growing here.
— Amanda at Wellspring & Wild
