Welcome to the cottage. My name is Dawne, and I am a Christian mother, home-educator, nurse, freelancer, and self-taught herbalist. I believe in lifelong learning, creativity, and love… Oh, and oils!
My great passion is helping other families become healthier with herbs, oils, and good common sense. I share recipes and ideas which sometimes include my backyard-grown herbs, and/or oils. I love to teach my ideas about optimal family health in workshops online, in classes locally, and even by having learning parties for children. In addition, I love showing others how I make our tiny home into a beautiful, welcoming cottage.
