Hi there. I’m Jenn

I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Jenn, the heart and hands behind Soapmaker’s Homestead. On our mostly-wooded acres, I’ve cultivated a life rich in simplicity, creativity, and continuous growth. In 2024, my husband suffered a stroke that left him nearly paralyzed on his left side. I had to leave my job to stay home and be his full time cheerleader. I realized there are so many people out there going through something similar (“cheerleading” is not for the faint of heart, yall!), I wanted to be a place where people going through similar situations could go to be with others who get it.

I was a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom for much of your marriage, and I love keeping a home and all that goes along with that, cooking, keeping house, gardening, but in this new chapter, finding more efficient ways of doing these things. I hope to be able to share tips to avoid burnout as well as learn what has worked for you.

Lastly, I am a soapmaker. It’s a great creative outlet for me, and a way I can help support our family. I have been teaching soapmaking and selling soaps for years. If you’d like to learn, stick around. I am constantly posting my latest creations. Below are some of thing things you’ll find around here. I’d love for you to join me.

My Passions:

• Soapmaking: Crafting natural, artisanal soaps allows me to blend science and art, producing gentle products for the skin.
• Decluttering: Embracing less has transformed my living space into a haven of peace and efficiency.
• Cooking from Scratch: Preparing wholesome meals from fresh, homegrown ingredients is a daily joy.
• Gardening: Tending to my garden connects me to nature and provides a bounty of produce and herbs.
• Personal Growth: I’m dedicated to nurturing my spiritual, mental, and physical well-being, always striving to become a better version of myself.
