Hello I am Kloe Prilly! I am a mamma who is 26 and a little bit crunchy, haha! In all honesty I had no idea what that word even meant until maybe a year ago. I considered myself a serious DIY-er. If it can be done on your own, why mess with an unnatural way? It started with bread when I was 16, I remember staying up all night thinking why would you buy bread when you can make it yourself? So that fall I taught myself to mess around with yeast and started producing a ton of bread for my large family! (I may regret this, but you can check out my teenage blog from then here.) The newly found hobby of baking continued! I experimented with homemade oatmeal mixes, granola bars, bagels, cakes, and hot cocoa mixes, (if you want the real deal on hot cocoa mixes from scratch call my brother. He mastered it at 28, mine is a 16 year-old quick version!).

I explored the natural hair world with my defiant curls and learned so much about how to care for them instead of straightening them when I was in college. I would save up money between college payments to buy the next “all-natural” hair products! Which was fun, maybe I will share on that at some point. I desperately always wanted to make my own wedding cake. Well believe it or not, fast forward a few years and I did not make my own wedding cake, my sister did…She told me it would be way too stressful for me. She was probably right, but I did make hers and two of my other sisters’ cakes and I am booked to make a good friend’s cake next summer! So now I have “wedding cake specialist” on my personal home resume and I am satisfied. My husband and I tried a garden, and I found out I do not have a green thumb. A crunchy piece I may try again or not, who knows!

I think I accomplished what I would consider the most hard and beautiful natural thing by welcoming my daughter into the world this fall in the comfort of my own home! It was unmedicated and natural with all the pain and beauty the way God designed it! I am not saying it is the only way to bring a child into this world, medical interventions have saved the lives of so many babies, including two of my sweet nephews, but I was so excited to feel the whole process without any drugs masking any part of it. It is the hardest thing a woman can do, but also the most meaningful, purposeful, and amazing. I will share her story for sure here at one point.

Anyways! Join me on my baking adventures, cloth diapers attempts, home-making, and raising children, DIYing as much of the way as we can!
