ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Tahnee!

I’m so glad you stopped by the Haven of Rest. You’ll find my favorite, nutritious recipes, homemaking tips & inspiration, and lots of encouragement for the homemaker here.

My husband Erik & I, and our five children are settled in a small town in the beautiful Netherlands.

I’m a joyful homemaker trying to focus on the things that matter, finding joy in homemaking and motherhood. In the past 10+ years, I learned many new skills as a mother and homemaker, that I love to share with you.

For, I found things are best just how they were designed by God. We can make beautiful things with linen fabric or wool. Vegetables grown in rich soil make for great nutritious meals, clothes can be air-dried in the wind (for free!) and so much more.

“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” – Jeremiah 6:16

I hope you’ll find joy and peace as you join me as we walk “the old paths”. Find inspiration for intentional Homemaking, Gardening, Natural Living, Motherhood & Nutritious Recipes.
