about us

Hey Y'all. I am Yolanda currently living a city life in the heart of the DFW metroplex. I am a mother of two boys (grown men), one fur baby and a Gram to two extraordinary grandkids - a beautiful granddaughter and a very handsome grandson neither of whom I don't see enough of. In 2015, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis after months of being very ill. During my longest flare I turned to google to find a solution for my agony. I found the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and I have been following it ever since. Today, I am protected by a fierce 8-year-old "puppy" that I adopted from my local pound when she was 6 weeks old. When I adopted her, her name was Ellie Mae, and I didn't think that fit her so I called her Puppy until I could think of a better name. Well, eight years later I still haven't thought of a better name, so I call her Puppy and she is my heart. My plan is to retire in 2032. Then I will move to the country and live on 5 acres surrounded by some of my family. In the years until I retire, I want to set myself up so that when I move to the country I am as successful as possible. I need to learn a lot of things. Follow me along as I navigate my way through learning the skills I need to be a successful homesteader while following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

Well, eight years later I still haven't thought of a better name, so I call her Puppy. I think it works because everywhere we go people always say what a sweet puppy and she knows they are talking about her.
