I am the owner of this lifestyle blog and soap shop, my marketing company Digital Darcy, and an 1880 Victorian home that my husband and I share with our two dogs and most recently, one cat.

We live in Minnesota, home of 10,000 lakes and some of the best wind and longest winters you’ll find anywhere. It’s also home to some of the best summer sunshine, wide open spaces, and plenty of places to explore.

We both enjoy cooking and trying new things in the kitchen – me with food preservation and him with trying new recipes with various wild game that he and our dogs bring home from their hunting adventures.

He likes to hunt and fish, and sometimes I go along. He is an electrician and a talented carpenter, and he makes fishing lures in his spare time. We also grow a large garden in the summer and try to manage our home as sustainably and naturally as possible. Thanks for being here with me!
