🌸 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.

🌿 A Quiet Beginning

There’s something sacred about slow starts.This little blog won’t be flashy or fast-paced. Just like the life I’m building here on our homestead, it will be rooted in simplicity, intention, and grace for the process. Maybe one day I’ll look back and see how it all grew — post by post, season by season. But for now, it starts quietly.I don’t have a master plan for what this space will become. Some days it might be a how-to. Other days, a prayer or a recipe. I just want to share what’s real — the good, the gritty, the growth. So if you find yourself drawn to a life a little more grounded… welcome. You’re in good company here. “And aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands…”— 1 Thessalonians 4:11
