Old-fashioned homemaking and simple DIY Living isn’t all about being a stay at home mom, although, that certainly is a big part of my personal experience. Rather is is about embracing a slower paced and intentionally simple lifestyle. Back in the day this type of lifestyle was the standard way of living. Today, no so much. I am on a mission to help women embrace this lifestyle and to encourage them that it is possible in today’s world. Women of all ages should feel confident in nuturing their home and spaces in a way that feels wholesome. “I am beginning…

I set out to make the bread the traditional way and found out…

Speaking of family, I am happy to have had my great grandmothers loaf pans handed down to me. Everytime I use them I can’t help but wonder what all she made with…

Hey there, I’m Kaycee, just a small-town girl from Western Kentucky, sharing the ups and downs of my journey. I live in a cozy little house with my two boys, Lincoln and Ledger, and let me tell you, life’s been quite the ride! In 2018, I started Roost and Restore Home—it was my little passion project.

By 2021, things were really taking off, and I was over the moon to open my own brick-and-mortar store. But then came 2022, and with it, a…

The Story of the Patchwork Quilt So just to paint the scene here, I am writing this in between sips of Sprite and chicken noodle soup all while being wrapped up in an old patchwork quilt I helped my Grannie to make yearrrrs ago. As a kid, I remember my Grannie’s little sewing room. It was an enclosed front porch area with lots of windows. There were nice waist-high cabinets all around, which she never used simply because they were buried under years and years of fabric and sewing supplies. Instead, she chose to sit in a squeaky old chair at…
