I’m Shelby

Welcome to The Gentle Harvest! I’m a wife, mom to a sweet toddler, and a Registered Nurse on a journey to embrace a slower, more intentional life. In the midst of the fast-paced world we live in, I’ve found joy in the simple things—gardening, canning, sewing, and baking.

This blog was born out of my desire to document my journey toward a more holistic, peaceful way of living while connecting with other moms who long for the same. Here, you’ll find inspiration for slowing down, practical tips for a simple home, and encouragement to savor the little moments in motherhood.

If you’re looking for a community of like-minded women who want to embrace a life of simplicity and intention, you’re in the right place. Let’s create a space where we can share, learn, and support each other on this journey.

I’m so glad you’re here!
