OUR SONG AND OUR HEART

A few years ago, we made the shift to live each day with intention. This effected all areas of our life, from the food we eat, the skincare we use, to our mindset and how we approach life. We will be sharing all of these with you here, hopefully inspiring you to live with Intention.

I reached out to Daniel Smith and asked him to write a song for us. I gave him some background on our family, our goals and what we plan to share. He wrote this amazing song for us that I feel like encompasses my business and our life. If you would like to find more of Daniels work you can find him on Instagram and on YouTube. He is a talented artist and I am forever grateful for him taking the time and using his talent to write this for us.

Here at The Padilla Family Homestead we are intentionally living, intentionally loving and intentionally growing where we are. So, come to the table and sit with us for a while. Come to the garden and walk with us for a while. We are thankful you are here in our little corner of the world and hope you subscribe to our newsletter and to our blog.

Why It All Started

01

Health Issues

My daughter has to be gluten free, my husband needs lower sugar, and I need a low sodium diet. As you can imagine eating out with any of these is difficult let alone finding all three in one place.

02

Quality & Cost

When we started out on our health journey the cost of food was and is climbing in cost. So sourcing good quality in bulk and actually using it was and is key.

03

Cravings

Finding healthier options for the junk food we craved was imperative for us to stay on the wagon. Gluten Free pumpkin spice recipes were a game changer for my daughter.
