Where you ever curious about how to make clothes but only thought that I master seamstress could make them? Did you ever wonder where that delicious golden honey came from? What about how to churn butter but always thought that you needed one of those big hand churns? Well think again! Jenna not only tells you how you can achieve a simpler lifestyle but also of her triumphs and failures. As you learn through her captivating chapters you learn that it doesn't take much to make you happy. Maybe a home cooked meal with eggs fresh from the chicken or veggies fresh from your garden. One quickly learns that the smallest things can make on happy.
Join Jenna as she takes you on her journey to a more self-sufficient life as she acquires chicken, bees, and rabbits, and learns how to sew and knit.
