About
Welcome to Creating Calm in the Chaos! I’m a beekeeper, herbalist, gardener, and lifelong lover of nature. Living in the heart of western Pennsylvania’s Appalachia, I manage a small homestead where my family and I raise Muscovy ducks, chickens, and, of course, bees. With a background in biology, I approach homesteading and crafts like spinning, knitting, and weaving as ways to bring calm to the chaos of modern life. Here, I share my journey back to simplicity, hoping to inspire others to find peace in the rhythms of nature and traditional crafts.
My Mission
My mission is to inspire and guide others toward finding peace and resilience in life’s storms by embracing the simplicity of homesteading, beekeeping, crafting, and reconnecting with nature. Through stories, skills, and reflections, I aim to cultivate shalom—a deep, enduring peace—while rediscovering the art of living simply in a world that often feels overwhelming.
