Hi, I’m Sandra…
I’m a mother of four beautiful daughters, a pit bull mix, and 11 feathered friends who started blogging to chronicle my family’s journey to self-sufficiency and to offer advice and encouragement to other homestead mamas through our successes and mistakes along the way!

Tales From A Mom In The Middle
My name is Kimberley Campbell and I’m a “Mom In The Middle”. What does that mean? To me, that means that I became a mother for the first time after the age of 35, and after many years of struggling with infertility.
So now, I’m a mother of a toddler in my late 30’s and experiencing motherhood in a different way than your average mother in their 20’s. With this blog, I want to share that experience, along with my adventures living in a small rural village in Northern, NB, Canada, and seeking greater self-sufficiency for my family!
