Hello!  I’m Kristen, a musician who is tired of the nomadic lifestyle.  All I’ve ever wanted to be was a singer, but once I achieved my goal I realized that the lifestyle is one that I can’t sustain.  This blog is about my journey towards a simpler life.  Less busyness, less guilt, less excess, and more family, more community, more fun.  I’m getting back to my prairie roots and embracing my love of DIY and gardening.  I love making things beautiful and I hope to share that with you.  I also want to encourage those of you who have a degree in fine arts or music that there is life after, even if its what you never imagined it to be.
