Welcome to My Story

Hi! I'm glad you're here. My name is Elizabeth, and I'm a mom who spent a lot of late nights researching how to keep my family healthy, so you don't have to. This is why I started Half Crunchy, Full Country.

Before I ever became a mom, I had three miscarriages.

When I asked my OBGYN why, I was told it happens. And maybe it does. But I couldn't walk through another loss without at least trying to understand what I could control.

I'd always had a feeling that what we eat, clean with, and put on our skin matters. I just never felt the urgency to do anything about it. Three back-to-back losses changed that. Not because I thought swapping a few products would be a magic fix, but because I needed to change anything I had the power to change.

Then I thought about my kids, and not wanting them to ever feel what I felt. So I started building better habits before they arrived, so they'd have the best possible start.

What I found was a mountain of conflicting advice, fear-based content, and throw it all away energy. So I did the research, and I turned it into Ditch & Switch: the swaps that matter first, with a realistic DIY or store-bought option for each, so you don't have to spend your midnights in a Google spiral like I did.

But It Became About More Than Swaps

Once I started changing what I could control at home, I couldn't stop asking bigger questions. What would it look like to build a whole life around my family's health and my time with my kids?

I wanted to be there for my kids. To be home when they're sick without asking a boss for permission. To make money for my family without it costing me the moments that matter. To keep us as healthy as I can, and still enjoy today's treats (and yes, I will always love my bread machine and my internet connection).

That's the heart of Half Crunchy, Full Country. I'm not all crunchy, and I'm definitely not mainstream. I want a life that's as healthy, self-reliant, and free as I can make it, with modern conveniences right alongside it.

Where This Is Going

Low-tox living is where we're starting, because it's where my story started. From here, this space is growing into everything that goes into a more intentional, self-sufficient life: working from home, half-homesteading, gardening and canning, cooking from scratch, hunting, and raising kids who love being outdoors.

No extremes. No guilt. No pretending you have to do it all, or do it perfectly. Just real-life help from a mom who's figuring it out right alongside you.

You don't have to do it perfectly. You just have to start.
