Hey there, lovely readers! It’s your girl, Home Girl K, coming at you from the one and only Home Girl Homestead. This is your go-to spot where country charm meets urban sass – think less Little House on the Prairie and more “Little House on the Block with a Beat.”

So, here’s my scoop: I’m a Colorado Springs native turned Smalltown sweetheart. My life’s like a country song with an EDM twist – think Kenny Chesney meets Skrillex. I’m hitched to my hero in blue (yep, he’s a cop) and a mama bear to four wild cubs. Our house? Picture a zoo meets a circus – we’ve got Chewy, our St. Bermastiff giant, Prentiss the husky mix who’s as sly as a fox, and Thunder the Malinois, who’s more like a whirlwind than a gentle breeze.

Dreaming big here – I’m all about that farm life fantasy. Imagine mini cows that could double as oversized pets, donkeys that you can’t help but say “aww” to, chickens that look like they’ve just strutted off a fashion runway, and, oh yes, a majestic gypsy vanner horse. And my life’s theme song? “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy” – because, why not?

Home Girl Homestead is my little slice of heaven where I share my love for DIY small space gardening tips, making the most of our urban green space, and canning like it’s going out of style. I’ve become quite the aficionado in preserving seasonal fruits and vegetables, offering my readers easy-to-follow guides on “homemade preserves for beginners.” When I’m not playing in the soil or counting my canning jars, you can find me sewing up a storm, crafting cheer bows (because cheer moms unite!), or planning budget-friendly family activities like our next trip to Disney World.

Let’s talk about Chewy, our gentle giant. This St. Bermastiff is literally a walking, drooling hug machine. Our ceiling? It’s got more drool art than the Louvre. And when he shakes his head? It’s like living in a drool-based weather system. In our lively household, we also focus on family-friendly pet care advice, managing our mini-zoo with love and lots of humor.

And did I mention my latest project? I’ve been diving into “eco-friendly home improvement ideas,” finding ways to upcycle and repurpose with flair. It’s all about making our home beautiful without breaking the bank or harming the planet.

Then there’s my secret obsession – “Tractor Magazine Day.” It’s like Christmas once a month. My ultimate dream? Cruising in a John Deere Combine. Sorry, Tahoe, but you just can’t compete with tractor glam.

At work, I’m that quirky gal who’s turned her desk into a mini-farm – complete with Lego tractors and plastic animals. And hey, if dressing for the job you want is a thing, then I better start hunting down some chic overalls and a stylish straw hat.

Home Girl Homestead isn’t just a blog, folks. It’s a journey into the heart of fun, a celebration of the quirky and the unexpected. It’s where every day is a mix of country vibes and city beats, and also your go-to guide for creative budget home decor ideas. So, come on in, kick off your boots (or your red bottoms), and join me in this wild, wonderful homestead adventure. Here’s to living life with a big ol’ smile and a dash of crazy!
