Hi, I’m Traci — mum to five girls and the heart behind the Cornelius-Ford Family.
We’re a UK-based homeschooling family of seven embracing a simpler, slower, more intentional life. From kitchen to garden to lesson table, we share honest, real-life content to help families reconnect with what truly matters: nourishing food, meaningful learning and low-tox living.
Whether you’re just starting your homeschool journey or exploring self-sufficiency on a budget, you’ll find step-by-step ideas, family rhythms, and heartfelt reflections here.
🪴 What You’ll Find:
• Homeschooling rhythms & resources
• Sourdough, fermentation & seasonal baking
• DIY homemaking & natural living
🎥 New videos weekly — from walkthroughs to quick how-tos.
💛 Let’s Work Together:
We love partnering with brands that align with our values: family, sustainability, self-sufficiency and natural wellness. If that’s you, please get in touch via the email below or visit our website.
