Welcome to Our Naturally Sweet Life!
Hi, I’m Amber!
I’m a wife, mom, homeschooler, maker, and someone who truly loves all things cozy, homemade, and naturally beautiful. I created Our Naturally Sweet Life as a place to share the little things that make our home feel warm, nourishing, and—well… naturally sweet.
To me, a “sweet life” isn’t just about baking or desserts. It’s about slowing down, choosing better ingredients, making things with your hands, and filling your home with things that bring comfort and joy. It’s about being present in the everyday moments God has given us and doing our best to care for our families with intention and grace, even when things aren’t perfect.
🍞 A Journey Toward Simpler, More Natural Living
My love for natural living didn’t happen all at once — it grew one step at a time.
From grinding fresh flour in my kitchen, to swapping store-bought soap for handmade bars, to experimenting with candles…
Somewhere along the way, I realized God was gently leading me toward a lifestyle that felt more intentional and more connected to home. Not perfect or complicated — just slower, simpler, and better for our family.
Here on the blog, you’ll find a mix of the things we use and love in our everyday life — fresh-milled flour, clean-ingredient recipes, and low-carb, keto, and smart-carb meals. I also share my journey with natural soap making, candle creations, and homemade body care like whipped body butter and scrubs.
All the little things that help make everyday life feel just a little sweeter.
💙 Our Type 1 Diabetes Journey
Part of our naturally sweet life includes learning to care for my daughter, who has Type 1 diabetes.
This experience has opened my eyes to so much, and a lot of that is understanding how food works in the body and finding balance in everyday meals.
You’ll see some diabetes-friendly and low-carb recipes sprinkled throughout my blog—not because our life revolves around diabetes, but because it’s a meaningful part of our story.
If these recipes help even one other family, then sharing them is absolutely worth it.
🌿 Handmade Soap, Candles & Clean Home Goods
When I couldn’t find natural soaps that felt nourishing (and smelled beautiful!) I started making my own. Then came candles—first for fun, then as gifts, and eventually as a full collection.
Today, I handcraft:
- Healthy clean Candles
- Natural soaps colored with clays and scented with essential-oils
- Scrubs, lotions, and more
Everything I make is created with the same intention: simple, natural ingredients, gentle on the body, and pretty enough to brighten your day.
You can find my products right here on my site!
🌼 Why I Started This Blog
I wanted to create a space where real life and natural living could gently come together — a place where moms feel encouraged to try something new, even if it isn’t perfect. Somewhere, the kitchen feels safe and joyful instead of overwhelming, and making natural home goods feels doable, not complicated.
More than anything, I wanted this to be a community rooted in encouragement and grace. I truly believe God meets us in the middle of our everyday lives, right where we are, and that we don’t have to have everything figured out to start.
I also hold a special place in my heart for Type 1 diabetic moms — my hope is to encourage you, share what we’re learning, and remind you that you’re not alone and that there is hope, even on the hard days.
If you love wholesome recipes, handmade goods, or simply learning how to slow down and live a more natural, joyful life, then you really do belong here.
💛 Thank You for Being Here
Whether you’re here for a recipe, a DIY project, or to shop my handmade creations—thank you.
This community means so much to me, and I hope this space inspires you to try something new, slow down, and enjoy the naturally sweet moments in your own life.
xx Amber
