Crockpot Venison Chili
Before I met Mountain Man, I had never eaten venison. Not to my knowledge, anyway. Once we got married, we always tried to choose healthy meats: ground turkey, lean ground beef…however, when we moved into our house, 6 years ago, one of my husbands...
5 Steps to Help You Switch to a Real Food Diet
I’d just like to start this post by saying that I am no “expert” on the subject of real food, but I do feel that I know quite a bit about how to go about this without stressing yourself out or breaking the bank. You see, today marks ONE YEAR for...

Mama and Me
My kids don’t call me “mommy”. My preference is Mama. And if I’m being totally honest with myself (and you all, my loyal readers), “mommy” is like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears. I have no idea why. I think anytime I hear...
Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holiday time with your loved ones! Ours was fun, hectic, and non-stop for like 5 days straight, which resulted in 4 out of 5 of my household getting fevers and snotty noses. It’s in those moments I am extremely thankful for a...

Happy Birthday Little Miss T
Wow. TWO. My youngest, and last child turns TWO today. I’m a hot mess of emotions right now, to be honest with you. This girl right here… Let’s just say that God knew I needed a little girl in my life. She is, in short, amazing. And to be honest with...
Homemade Dishwasher Tablets

Hi! I’m Brenna Jo! I’m the Feisty Girl who runs this joint along with my über talented (and bearded) hubby, Mountain Man. We have 3 kiddos (J-Man, The Nugget, and Little Miss T). Former NC residents, we relocated to Montana back in 2018. We jumped headfirst into the Homeschool scene during covid, and started Grace River Homeschool in the Fall of 2020. With all the changes happening in the world, we decided we wanted to be as self-sufficient as possible, so we bought chickens and are trying our hands at growing some of our own food. Thanks for stopping by! Take a look around, and let’s chat about food, natural wellness, Jesus, homeschool, or really anything to do with kids, FRIENDS (yes, the best show on the face of the Earth), or life!
