About me
Hi, I’m Juliet! I’m married, and together, my husband and I have five children, plus one foster child whom we adopted in October 2023. Our oldest son is now a young adult who recently moved out, while our youngest son and I share the same birthday. Our daughters are active in sports, and our other son is preparing to leave for the Army later this spring.
I have been a gestational surrogate three times, helping other families experience the joy of parenthood. My husband and I have also been licensed treatment-level foster parents since 2020, providing care and support to children in need.
In addition to working full-time, I love writing for this blog, where I share my experiences with family, food, gentle homesteading, and creating a healthy(ish) and fulfilling life. Cooking is a big passion of mine, and I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen while learning new skills and sharing them with others.
I’m excited to document my journey, from parenting and fostering to homesteading and finding balance in everyday life. Thanks for being here—I hope you find inspiration, knowledge, and maybe even a few laughs along the way!
