Welcome!

We are a family of doers, makers and dreamers. What started as a space to chronicle my homesteading and homemaking endeavors has transformed into an entrepreneurial adventure involving the whole family.

We, the Fagans, welcome you to our new digs and invite you to peruse the plethora of offerings we are so thrilled to share.
