Hi! My name is Laura, and I am known as The Girly Homesteader! I live with my husband (yes we are child-free) with our chickens on 7 acres in Xenia Ohio. I am a personal trainer for my “real job” but I also host The Girly Homesteader Podcast. Why so girly? Because I love makeup, doing my nails and honestly, I really hate getting dirty if I don’t have to... Definitely not your typical homesteader! I also love to cook, which is why I garden, because home grown produce makes the healthiest and tastiest food!

As a kid I was always excited for school supply shopping, and that love of paper, color coding and gorgeous designs has followed me into adult-hood and homesteader-hood, which is why I created a goal setting system specifically for homesteaders. I found that most goal setting systems didn’t take into account the seasonality that comes with homesteading, some times are busy, some times are slow, and your goal setting system has to adapt to that.

I also believe that when we infuse a little bit of beauty and intention into our planning, it transforms our daily routines into meaningful rituals. Homesteading isn’t just about nurturing our land and animals, it’s also about nurturing our minds and spirits. So, let’s embrace the art of planning together and make each day on the homestead as fulfilling and productive as possible!
