Hello! I'm Megan!
Welcome to the Wilson Homestead! A place where I share all the things I’m passionate about! Simple living, motherhood, homesteading, from-scratch cooking, pregnancy, and more!
My husband, Luke, and I live in beautiful East Texas with our three children, Sofia, Dimitrius, and Vivian. We are currently renovating a farmhouse. We live on 20 acres of beautiful farmland. We have chickens, two dogs, way too many barn cats, guineas and my beloved milk cows.Â
We also do a big garden every year and we are working on establishing an orchard and food forest on our land.
about me
I was born in AZ and lived there until I was around 13, and even though we lived in the big city, we were country folk at heart! We were able to raise all kinds of animals for our own food, from chickens to hogs!
Both me and my husband were homeschooled our entire childhoods.
I am the oldest of three, I have one brother and one sister. Which was, and still is, an awesome adventure!
When I was in my early teens my parents, siblings and grandparents all packed up and moved to Montana.
Me and my husband first met when I was around 14 years old.
We got married the day after I turned 18.
I had my first baby (my daughter Sofia) at 19.
My second baby (my son Dimitrius) at 21!
And then my third (Vivian) at 22!Â
You could say I’m a bit of a baby nut and can’t wait to have more! We will probably end up with 10 kids. Although when I was little I wanted 27 kids, so I’ve toned i down from there 😉
I have always wanted to be a stay-at-home wife and mother so I am living my dream!
I am a total health nut. At any given moment you will find at least two or three things fermenting on the counter in my kitchen. I love making sauerkraut, kombucha and sourdough bread.
I love natural remedies, whole food, and have a cabinet stuffed full of essential oils and bulk herbs.
I handmake every single cleaning product and soap that is used in our home…laundry detergent, soap bars, shampoo, conditioner, dishwasher pods, all purpose cleaning spray, etc. And am passionate about sharing my knowledge about how you can easily make all those things as well!
I absolutely love being pregnant (obviously…I have been pregnant three times by the time I turned 22)! And I am a total pregnancy and birth research junkie!
I love reading and learning about all things that have to do with motherhood, but especially the pregnancy / birth / breastfeeding part! I probably would have become a midwife if I wasn’t a mother 😉 I also love educating people on having a healthy pregnancy, the possibility and value of a safe, natural home birth, the importance of breastfeeding, cloth diapering, and the sacred postpartum time!
a few fun facts about me
I used to professionally train horses before I got married. I was a total dare-devil and specifically loved to ride the bucking horses!
I am a coffeeaholic, and I ain’t afraid to admit it.
I am an introvert.
I, oddly, love being in labor and giving birth.
I have an extreme sweet tooth.
