About Me

Welcome to The Domestic Renaissance! I’m Samantha, a devoted advocate of from-scratch living. Here, I share my journey and passion for creating a homemade, health-conscious lifestyle. I believe in the beauty and fulfillment that comes from making things by hand and living a less processed lifestyle.

I spend my days immersed in a variety of traditional crafts and culinary arts:

• Sewing: Designing and sewing my own clothes, from simple skirts to intricate dresses.
• Baking: Crafting delicious baked goods entirely from scratch, with an emphasis on wholesome ingredients.
• Fermentation: Exploring the art and science of fermentation to create nutrient-rich, probiotic foods and beverages.
• Milling Flour: Using traditional methods to mill my own flour, ensuring the freshest and most nutritious ingredients for my recipes.
• Knitting: Creating cozy, handmade garments and accessories with love and attention to detail.
• Health-Conscious Living: Committing to a lifestyle that prioritizes health, sustainability, and well-being. The more knowledgeable we become about what is in the food that we are eating, the more it makes sense to just make it ourselves!

My blog is a place where I share my experiences, tutorials, and tips for anyone looking to embrace a more hands-on, self-sufficient way of living. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just starting your journey, I hope to inspire you with my stories, recipes, and projects.

Join me as we rediscover the joys of handmade living and create a healthier, more intentional lifestyle together.
