Homegrown Happy

I have recently discovered a beautiful blog called Homegrown Happy. It's written by a new mother living not too far from me on the coast of Northern California. Jazmin is a new friend, and I love her attitude and her gorgeous family. She also has a very interesting lifestyle. Her home is remote, her needs are simple, and her aesthetics are driven by natural beauty. Her posts are inspiring and achievable at the same time, and the projects come alive with Jazmin's personal stories.

She and her husband Arnoud worked together to create buttons from an oak branch for their baby Finn. The tutorial is easy to follow, and has great photography.

Her granola recipe is not just about oats! The story of how Jazmin came to like granola for breakfast is too sweet.

How do people get to live like this?

I just had a peak at Homegrown Happy. It really is beautiful. Jazmin would appear to have the IDEAL life. With a home in northern Cali living the simple life with a view to kill for and an adorable little nugget. I aspire to retire to that. I searched her blog for some key as to how she managed to support this lifestyle as she looks not much older than myself (24). I am desperate to know what she does for a living. No where on that blog does it have any mention of her working anywhere. How does she do it?!
