About Me
Drop me a line – I’d like to get to know you too.
About Me
I’m a regular mom…
…with a husband, a bunch of kids, and some dogs and I’m the founder of Joyfully Prepared, a business dedicated to teaching busy moms skills like gardening, food preservation, natural remedies, and more so they can take care of themselves through developing talents, support their families with confidence, and save money.
I’ve rolled down the mountain of accomplishment so many times that I have skinned knees, grass in my teeth, and sticks in my hair. All of these mistakes have actually allowed me to become more confident in my knowledge and skills.
I’m eager to learn and strive to create a space where people want to learn. I’m not perfect. In fact, someone once described me as the “queen of preparedness, but normal without scaring people.”
Whether it’s canning, gardening, emergency preparedness, or anything else—I teach others to feel confident while learning it.

“I can count on Wendi to make my day, give me ideas to fill my pantry, and teach me new skills. One of my favorite lessons was about soapmaking; it was an easy project and lots of fun. Wendi and the group members are so helpful and quick to jump in and share their tips, strategies, and knowledge. I have fallen in love with Mason jars because of her tutorials. Wendi’s infectious laugh, sense of wonder, and teaching style have me wanting to learn about living a more sustainable life with my own fruits and veggies.“
“I have learned so much from Wendi already and look forward to new opportunities and adventures. She is very knowledgeable and has inspired me to try growing things I would not have tried before. Her canning tutorials, both lives and videos, have given me the confidence to preserve our harvest. I even like when she messes up (garden failures) and owns it. That shows that even experienced gardeners mess up sometimes and not to be discouraged. What I appreciate most is knowing that she is personally invested in my life and my success. She is one of my biggest cheerleaders.“
