About Me

“I buy my freedom with my frugality.”~Vicki Robins

Frugally Sustainable is the story of our family’s transition out of a consumer culture into the brave world of sustainability. It’s about focusing on what’s important amidst uncertain times. It’s about returning to forgotten skills, reviving old wisdom, creating something amazing, and finding happiness.

Frugally Sustainable is also one of the most featured blogs in its niche! It is host to 4-5 informative posts per week that catalogue the why, the how, and the how-to on: frugality, simplicity, health and nutrition, motivation and inspiration, homeschooling, up-cycling, recycling, and designing a life that is interdependent on like-minded others, ecologically responsible and centered around the home.

Hello! My name is Andrea and I am a Registered Nurse turned Frugally Sustainable Homemaker. A momma honored to homeschool her children. And the wife to a hard-working, supportive man.

I love to cook, work in my garden, and explore all things sustainable found in the natural world. I also love farmer’s markets, frugal finds, life and seasonal rhythms, hanging my clothes to dry, and the accepted wisdom gleaned from life on the homestead.

I am happiest when nurturing my family, my home, my soul, and my garden.

I was raised with a deep respect for the creation surrounding us and have therefore always loved nature. In fact, some may consider me an overly enthusiastic outdoors person and pioneer. I believe the Earth is our playground; containing the entirety of items necessary for our existence and entertainment.

I am truly honored to have you here!
