Marble and Mud
Marble and Mud is a collection of short articles and offerings dedicated to helping you learn, understand, organize, simplify and manage through all the chaos that life brings. From Modern Homesteading to Herbalism, Slow Seasonal Living, Spirituality, Holistic Healing and everything in between.
In this space it is my intention to share and bring forth all of the knowledge and experiences that I have accumulated over the past decade. My goal is to provide you with a quick snapshot of information that you can use in your everyday life to help grow, expand, awaken, slow down or just survive through the chaos that is life right now. It might be tips for seasonal eating, time or money management, gardening struggles, journaling prompts, a herbal recipe or an article that helps guide you along your spiritual journey. It also might just be a random thought on the chaos that is the world we live in currently.
We are being called to step back. To move into our authentic selves. To remember and learn the skills that society says we no longer need. To work with our hands and become conscious producers. The goal is to step away from being a mindless consumer into something constructive that lights a fire in our souls again.
I have so much amazing content I want to share that has helped me through becoming a mom, learning to homestead, the ups and downs of gardening, learning about herbs and holistic healing, my spiritual path and so much more. I know you'll find something here that is for you and I am beyond excited to put forth this offering of experience, knowledge and community.
My Story
Hey there! I'm Krista and I live slowly & seasonally while homesteading on 2.5 acres in rural Southwestern Ontario, Canada. I grow and tend to many things here including 4 wild and free little souls. I have had many different blogs and adventures in business over the last 10 years and everything I have accomplished has led me to this point in time. During this chapter in life I am full. Full of love, full of stress, full of kisses, cuddles and stinky sticky messes. I am full of gratitude and awe that despite the chaos that the world gave us these last few years that I have the skills and tools needed to raise the next generation of children with discernment. Over the last few years I grew into my own authenticity. I found my voice and I stood confident in my morals, beliefs and convictions. I have accomplished many things in life, and I proudly call myself a serial learner.
Knowledge is what fuels my soul and creating is my passion.
Aside from a self taught Homesteader & Mom, I am a Personal Support Worker, Herbalist, Aromatherapist, Spiritual Healing Advisor and Crystal Healing Practitioner. I have taken courses in Holistic Nutrition, Hot Stone Massage, Chakra Healing, Vibrational Aromatherapy, Theology and Spirituality, Permaculture, Agriculture and Environmental Management. I have extensively and continue to study Tarot, Druidism, Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Development and all things Holistic Health & Healing.
Marble & Mud is my awakening journey, I hope it helps guide and nudge you along yours.
