At Preserving My Sanity, I’m passionate about living more sustainably, making thoughtful choices, and learning new skills. Whether it’s preserving homegrown food, making sourdough, brewing kombucha, or crafting small-batch goat milk soap, I believe in learning by doing—and sharing that journey with others. My goal is to inspire and help others live a more intentional and self-sufficient lifestyle.

My husband and I 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 Marshall’s Minnows 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.
