About me

Hi, I’m Renee!

So this is my about me page, it is a lot more difficult to write a whole page about myself than I thought, but I will try!

I’m a mom of three little boys, Oskar, Simon, and Lukas, and married to Tom. We live in the southernmost tip of the Netherlands.

When I was pregnant with Oskar I became more and more aware of my lifestyle. I wanted to learn how to cook healthier without cooking out of a box, with ingredients that are not full of chemicals and preferably bought locally.

Because I think that several people are looking for a lifestyle that fits this narrative, I started this blog and I want to invite you to go on a journey with me. I want to learn how to start living from scratch, I hope to become more independent and of course healthier!

A few fun facts about me:

  • I have started and finished three different studies. I`m trained as a beautician, social worker, and chemical engineer.
  • I met my husband, Tom, during my third study. We are currently colleagues and work for the same company. We author Safety Data Sheets for manufacturers and distributors of chemical products worldwide.
  • Tom and I married during the time we had Covid restrictions in the Netherlands, we married in the cafeteria of our town hall with only our witnesses and the wedding official. We still need to have a wedding party and honeymoon.
  • I’m a mom of three boys. Oskar, Simon, and Lukas were all born at home.
  • Oskar and Lukas were born in the birth pool, Simon was born within 4 hours and we didn’t have time to set up the birth pool.
  • I have followed the Create your dream blog course from Lisa Bass from the blog Farmhouse on Boone and can recommend it!
