My Journey
Hi, I’m Alicia! I grew up in Orlando, FL, but city life — with all its traffic, noise, and fast pace — wasn’t for me. Craving a simpler, more mindful lifestyle, I moved to North Florida, where I graduated from college, bought my first home, and started a family with my high school sweetheart.
Living just an hour outside Tallahassee, we now enjoy space, fresh air, and the freedom to create a life closer to nature. Here, we grow our own garden, raise chickens, and explore all kinds of homestead activities — which I’ll be sharing in depth on my blog.
My passion is getting back to the basics, learning new skills, and becoming more sustainable each day. Through Wildly Crafted Living, I hope to inspire you to embrace a slower, intentional lifestyle, reconnect with the land, and find joy in simple, sustainable living.

Outside of the Blog
When I’m not tending to the garden or exploring homestead projects, I love long days at the beach, traveling to new places, and playing or watching sports. These simple joys keep life balanced and fun, and I often share how we incorporate them into our lifestyle here on the blog.

Motherhood
Above all, I’m a mom to my two boys, Isaac and Elija, and my bonus daughter, Alenna. Motherhood shapes everything I do, from how we grow our garden and cook at home to the way we embrace a simpler, more mindful lifestyle. Sharing these experiences with my family is at the heart of Wildly Crafted Living.
