how it all began
It wasn’t until one of my sons was diagnosed with autism and I hit rock bottom in a season of severe postpartum depression that I really started turning back to my roots.
I began simplifying everything — our food, our home, our routines. I started making my own tallow skincare, ditching toxic products, and cooking from scratch again like my granny used to. The more I slowed down, the more I healed. That’s when Her Country Roots was born — not just as a blog, but as a mission to help other mamas do the same.
Now, I spend my days homeschooling my boys, tending our home, and teaching women how to live well with less — with tallow in the pantry, sourdough on the counter, and Jesus at the center of it all.
About Me
hey, i’m kacie
I’m a wife, homeschooling mama of four (from toddler to teen), farm-raised Tennessee gal, and nurse-turned-homemaker with a heart for old-fashioned living.
I grew up on a family farm in my Tennessee, where we fed our baby deer from the bottle, gathered eggs barefoot, and learning the rhythms of the land. My pa taught me everything from animal care to how to read the skies before a storm rolled in. Those roots shaped me — and even now, they guide the way I raise my own family.

Her Country Roots is your place to breathe.
Here, you’ll learn how to trade the hustle for holy rhythms — how to slow down without falling behind. You’ll find:
