Hi! My name is Sandra, but my grandchildren call me Amma. I am a country gal transplanted to the city where I still practice country skills such as gardening, food preservation, do-it-yourself projects, and preparedness.
I invite you to visit often as I share my journey in transforming a typical city abode into an urban homestead. Along the way, I’ll share some country wisdom seasoned with science to help you become more self-sufficient and better prepared for whatever comes along in life.
