If you’re here, you’re probably feeling worn down by modern life too.

This site is for people who…

  • Want a quieter, more grounded life.
  • Feel better outside than glued to a screen.
  • Like working with their hands.
  • Care about family but feel stretched thin.
  • Don’t fit neatly into hustle culture.

A bit about me

I’ve spent years as a stay-at-home dad, taking care of family, house, and everything in between.

What keeps me sane is getting outside, moving my body, and working with real things — dirt, wood, food, tools. Quiet matters to me. So does doing things with purpose.

I don’t believe life is about constant productivity or chasing status. I believe it’s about learning, exploring, and building something meaningful, even if it takes time.

What I write about

  • Nature walks, Biking, and getting outside.
  • Simple living and homesteading (now and in the future).
  • Cooking real food and gardening.
  • Parenting from a grounded, hands-on place.
  • Games, downtime, and enjoying life without guilt.

What this site is not

  • Not hustle culture
  • Not “10 stupid steps to optimize your life”
  • Not pretending everything is perfect.
  • Not selling a lifestyle.

If any of this resonates, feel free to read, wander, and take what’s useful.

These are just notes from the yard.
