    Do you want to learn how to live a more simple life?

    We are just a typical Kiwi family, trying to live a more natural life by getting back to basics - homegrown and homemade food, making things from scratch and just enjoying the simple things in life. And more importantly, we want to help you do the same! And to prove that you can do it, regardless of where you live or what you do.

    We also realise that living a more simple, homemade life or becoming more self-sufficient looks a little different for everyone.

    For you it may mean starting slowly and just growing a few herbs to use in the kitchen. Or just to look at!

    It might mean learning how to bake bread.

    Thinking about keeping backyard chickens to get your own fresh eggs? I can convince you that’s a great idea in less than 2 minutes!

    Maybe you are keen on sewing something?

    Just want to learn how to bake a cake that doesn’t start in a box? Yay!

    Or you might want to go the whole hog and grow all your own veges, raise animals and make all your own food from scratch!

    All of these are amazing options! And we want to help you along your journey towards living YOUR best life from scratch.

    This blog is all about our journey to our version of self-sufficiency. We are certainly not experts in any of this, we're just learning as we go,  and if we can help or encourage you to try something new too, even better!

    If there is something you are looking for that you can't find, email me ([email protected]) and I'll do my best to help out!

    Follow me on social media for more inspiration and ideas and tag me #thekiwicountrygirl with what you are doing! I'd love to see it and to hear from you!
