Going back to the beauty of living simply, intentionally, and wholesomely.
Hi, I’m Janaea!
Welcome to Rooted and Flourishing, the place where I share about living simply, intentionally, and wholesomely through healthy recipes, an organized home, and a heart grounded in faith.
Three years ago I met my husband while volunteering at a Christian youth hostel in Amsterdam. Shortly after I moved from Canada to Germany (he is German). It was within these last couple of years that my dream began to grow of going back to natural wholesome living.
About Me
I was born in British Columbia, Canada. Although I grew up in the middle of a city, the country life always drew me.
I’m a middle child with an older sister and brother, and another younger sister. My best friends have always been my sisters.
I was homeschooled almost entirely apart from a few math and social study classes in highschool. I’m forever grateful my parents chose the homeschooling path, and I will be following suit with my kids.
I’ve had a thing for healthy food and natural living ever since I was around 12 when acne started to pop up in big red blobs all over my face. Although I’ve gone through different levels of extremity, healthy food and living has become a passion ever since. It would be a dream fulfilled to one day own a homestead and raise my family with food straight from a large garden.
I’ve branded my own career choice: The homemaker.
Thanks so much for stopping by Rooted and Flourishing!
