Her emphasis on homemade (instead of pricey store-bought decor options) makes her my #1 go-to for all things farmhouse!" -Jill Winger, author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook"Lisa's creativity makes it easy to create your own version of farmhouse living, whatever that means to your family! In a fast-paced world, Lisa is a breath of fresh air, inspiring us to slow down and live a bit more simply." -Chloe Mackintosh, founder of the blog Boxwood Avenue
"Simple Farmhouse Life takes today's trendy farmhouse style and turns it into a truly simple living lifestyle!" -Amy Fewell, author of the Homesteader's Natural Chicken Keeping Handbook and founder of the Homesteaders of America
"Never would I have thought I'd be someone who buys my milk from a local dairy, whips up my own body products, ferments food, or even craves the carefree farmhouse life. But you can bet Lisa inspired me to action, and I'm counting on her to do it again and again!" -Cami Graham, founder of the blog Tidbits and author of Master the Electric Pressure Cooker
