Hello there! I’m Kayla, a resilient and determined individual on a mission to live life to the fullest. Life took an unexpected turn in 2022 when, at the age of 28, I faced an ischemic stroke. This experience ignited a newfound perspective and a commitment to share my journey through this blog.

In the face of adversity, I’ve discovered an incredible strength within myself. I believe that with unwavering determination, one can conquer any challenge. This blog serves as an outlet for not only those navigating similar experiences or but for myself on my pursuit of an active and healthy lifestyle.

Join me on this adventure as I embrace a lifestyle reminiscent of times when simplicity and connection were paramount. I’m not advocating for an Amish lifestyle, but rather, a return to the basics – from baking fresh bread and learning the art of sewing to eliminating harmful chemicals from our daily lives. I am embarking on a journey of label reading, cooking and baking with passion, and cherishing genuine moments with loved ones in the kitchen.

Beyond the confines of walls, I’m a lover of outdoor escapades. Whether it’s riding bikes, playing beach volleyball, or exploring nature through walks, runs, and hikes, count me in! In a world that often favors shortcuts, I’m determined to choose the path of authenticity and embrace the joy of each moment.

Welcome to my world – a place where I try to face challenges head-on, and believe every day is an opportunity for growth, adventure, and connection.
