About Me

Hi there! I’m Nikita Taylor-Ellison, originally from Flint, Michigan, now calling Mt. Airy, Maryland home. Along with my husband and two boys, we’re embracing the simplicity of country living on our land, nestled right across from a beautiful farm. As a former cross country runner, I’m still trying to keep up, even though my two boys are always on the move with their sports. When I’m not cheering them on, I’m baking simple homemade meals, spending hours outdoors, and exploring everything Maryland has to offer. Join me as I share the little joys and adventures of life, family, and the beauty of living simply.

Oh hey!

I’m Nikita, a mom to two active boys who loves all things Detroit sports and lives in sweatpants 99% of the time. I’m a former XC runner and have a huge passion for staying active, so you’ll catch glimpses of my running journey too. Around here, it’s all about real life! You won’t find a Pinterest-perfect home, but you will find practical, fun ideas for making your everyday more enjoyable without all the waste. I’ll share easy, family-friendly meals that cut down on the processed stuff and sprinkle in some adventure, big or small. Stick around for a peek into our world!
