Hi! My name is Laura and I never thought I’d want this lifestyle…

To be honest, I grew up more of a city girl in Columbus Ohio. I actually had a dream to live in New York City with a French Bulldog and no grass or yard work to do.

Fast forward 15 years and that is the exact opposite of my dreams, but I am still the girly girl I was then.

Currently, I live on 7 acres in Xenia Ohio with my husband, 10 chickens, 2 beehives and 400 square foot garden. The purpose of this blog is to document our transition from just country dwellers to actual homesteaders where we grow most of our own food, and to share the girly side of this lifestyle.

Although we are more than happy with our current home and small homestead, our big dream is to move even farther out in the country on more acreage. But until then, we will practice with what we have!

Thanks for taking the time to learn with me,

Laura (The Girly Homesteader)
