About

Hi there! I’m Emily, the founder of The Scrunchy Life.

If you’ve ever wanted to live a little more “crunchy” — but not all the way — you’re in the right place. I call it sorta crunchy (or scrunchy): a cozy space between full-on homesteader and Target-run enthusiast.

Around here, you’ll find achievable ways to make home, kitchen and everyday life feel more handmade, natural, sustainable and joyful…without needing a farm, five-plus acres, special gadgets or twelve hours of free time.

A few things you’ll find on this blog:

  • Sourdough recipes (with zero perfection pressure)

  • DIY home projects you can actually finish

  • Gardening and plant tips for imperfect garden green thumbs

  • Cozy living, organization and lifestyle ideas

  • Animal and nature love sprinkled in because…why not?

I believe in:

  • Less “all or nothing” and more “what feels good today”

  • Using what you have before buying more

  • Learning through trial and delicious error

  • Cozy, clutter-friendly, human homes

  • Moments of magic in ordinary routines

If you’re curious, crunchy, crafty or somewhere in between — welcome home. Let’s make everyday life a little more crunchy!
