Simple living, Natural choices, A meaningful next chapter.
Hi, I’m Lisa.
Welcome to Simple Eco Mama!
For about 20 years, much of my life has revolved around being a stay-at-home mom and caring for my family. Like many people, I’ve spent years balancing everyday responsibilities while imagining all the things I’d eventually have more time to do.
Now, as my children grow older, I’m starting to think more about the next chapter of my life.
What do I want my days to look like? What do I want to learn, create, change, or finally get around to doing? How can I make our home and everyday routines better reflect the life I want to live now?
I don’t have all the answers. But I know I want more time outside, more opportunities to create with my hands, a home that feels good to live in, and a closer connection to the natural world.
I want to keep learning how to live simply and sustainably—not perfectly, but in ways that make sense for my life and the resources I have.
That’s why I’m bringing Simple Eco Mama into this next chapter with me.
What Simple Eco Mama is about
Simple Home
Our homes change as our lives change. I’m interested in creating spaces that feel calmer, letting go of things we no longer need, tackling unfinished projects, and finding practical ways to make our homes work better for us.
Natural Life
I love the connection that comes from spending time outdoors, growing plants from seed, experimenting in the garden, and finding ways to use the herbs and flowers around us. I’m always learning, and gardening certainly keeps me humble!
Eco Choices
I believe small, thoughtful choices matter. Buying less, reusing what we already have, repairing things, shopping secondhand, and reducing waste are all ways to live a little more intentionally without chasing perfection.
Simple Food
Cooking from scratch, preserving seasonal produce, fermenting vegetables, and making good use of what we have are practical skills I enjoy exploring and sharing.
These interests may seem like separate things, but to me, they connect. They are all ways of creating a life that feels more intentional, grounded, and meaningful.
A little about my approach
I’m not here because I’ve mastered simple living or figured out the perfect way to be sustainable. I’m here because I’m working on it, too.
Some projects get finished. Others take much longer than expected. Some garden seasons are wonderful, and others are a learning experience. And sometimes the most useful thing we can do is pause, reconsider what matters, and start with one small change.
I want this space to be a place for sharing ideas, trying new things, learning useful skills, and finding inspiration for a life that feels more like our own.
Whether you’re rethinking your home, growing a garden, learning to make something from scratch, trying to live with less, or wondering what this next season of life might hold, I hope you’ll find something here that speaks to you.
I’m glad you’re here.
Let’s figure it out together.
