Off Grid Mumma is my space to share the joys and challenges of home schooling, homesteading, and homemaking in rural Queensland.
Living off the grid has taught me so much about sustainability, creativity, and living simply.
Through this blog, I share the practical tips, personal stories, and little lessons I’ve learned along the way—from nurturing a love of learning in the home, to growing our own food, and embracing a self-sufficient lifestyle.
I hope to inspire other families to slow down, connect with nature, and find fulfilment in the everyday moments of off-grid living.
