Behind the Blog
Hi, I’m Renee
I’m Renee, mom to three little boys—Oskar, Simon, and Lukas—and wife to Tom. We live in the southernmost tip of the Netherlands, where life is busy but full of simple joys.
Back when I was pregnant with Oskar, I started paying closer attention to the way we lived. I didn’t want to rely on boxes and ready-made meals filled with additives. Instead, I wanted to cook with real ingredients—fresh, local whenever possible, and free of the extra stuff we don’t need.
That’s how this blog began. I believe more and more people are searching for a lifestyle like this, and I’d love for you to join me on the journey. Together, we can learn how to live a little more from scratch—becoming more independent, healthier, and enjoying the process along the way.
