Meet Melissa Paratore
Hello friends! I’m so happy you stopped by! I’m Melissa (aka the Honeybee) and I am passionate about wellness, my backyard chickens, and the many DIY projects my husband and I take on.
I grew up with a mom who was, more or less, a health nut; all organic foods, whole wheat bread, whole wheat eggs (my brother thought brown eggs were whole wheat, welcome to the family’s inside joke!), we never had the typical snack foods (chips, pretzels, oreos, etc.) in the house, it was always carrot sticks and ants on a log (celery with peanut butter and rasins), all natural personal and cleaning products, this list could go on… Turns out, she passed the trait on to me! I have such a huge sweet tooth, and I definitely splurge on some not so healthy snacks, but for the most part I like to keep my food and personal products healthy and toxin-free. I’ll be sharing my favorite recipes and products for a naturally healthy lifestyle!
Our house came with chickens! We were going to get chickens anyway, but as it turned out, the previous owners of our house were not able to take the chickens with them. I’m excited for all that I will learn about keeping chickens and I can’t wait to share some of it with you!
Who else is a major homebody? I, for sure, am! In November 2019 my husband and I bought our first house! Even though this house isn’t a fixer-upper, I’ve got plans to make this house into the perfect home. With these plans comes all the fun (and not so fun) DIY projects that I rope Vito into doing with me (I don’t fully trust myself with some of those sharp power tools yet!). I’m excited to share DIYs you can follow along and build yourself too!
Thank you, again, for visiting!
