Hey There!
I’m Shaz…
wife, mum and simple-living enthusiast from rural New Zealand.
A few years ago, my husband and I decided we needed a change from the nine-to-five, debt-based lifestyle we felt stuck in. Over a period of 4 years; we started our own small business. I left my job to be a stay-at-home mum. We sold our house in town, and we moved to a small cottage in the countryside. Shortly after, we started homeschooling our two children.
This on-going journey hasn’t been a straight path, but it has been deeply fulfilling. Our experiences have taught us that joy is not found just in a destination but in the journey itself.
The Farmhouse Collection
“The Farmhouse Collection” was created to help people, like you, that want to transform their “intentional living dream” into a vibrant reality. It’s a collective of home-cooked recipes, budgeting tips, home-made natural products, and old-fashioned good advice.
Our hope is that by sharing our journey – we will bless you on yours. And that you gain confidence, knowledge, and inspiration to take the next step in creating a simple life that’s not only achievable, but deeply fulfilling.
Join the journey
This space isn’t just about what I do; it’s about what we can learn together. It’s a place for sharing, inspiring, and building a community of like-minded people who share a passion for a simpler, more intentional way of life.
So, whether you’re an experienced homesteader, an aspiring from-scratch cook, or simply curious about our life here in New Zealand, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let’s learn, grow, and thrive together in our pursuit of a simple and intentional life.
Welcome to my homesteading journey – where every day is an opportunity to cultivate happiness from the ground up.
