Hey there, I’m Mary Woita – a Traditional Catholic (TLM), loving rancher’s wife, homeschooling mother of 4 littles.
I’m originally from Southern California where I worked as a Human Resource Manager and in Business Operations. I was incredibly focused on my career and very active in community volunteerism (more on this below!).
But things suddenly changed courses when I was recruited for a job in Nebraska. I met and married my real life cowboy. I fell in love with the country boy and the country life.
And so I traded in my high heels and pencil skirts for muck boots and dirty jeans.
Creating that homestead life you crave, doesn’t have to be complicated.
my mission
My mission is to help people live a more natural and simple life. To DIY their homestead & natural lifestyle dreams confidently & without any extra stress!
I created this site back in 2016 after a few years of getting acquainted with the rural country life. It was my way of sharing beginner homesteader tips and insights to our family’s journey with natural living & growing our own food.
♡ advocating for animals ♡
In my About page, I shared a bit more about my career and being passionate about community & volunteerism.
And because of this passion, (new in 2023), I am also making it a new part of my mission to contribute towards supporting rescue animals.
So, what does this look like? It means that I am donating a portion of blog proceeds and volunteering my time towards helping local non-profits.
And someday, my big dream is to create a small sanctuary for those animals who need it most.
Do you have an animal rescue or non-profit that you’re passionate about? Share it with me!

Boots & Hooves Homestead started with just me working whenever I had extra time. Basically, I was spending early mornings, nights, and weekends on my laptop. But as this site grew, so did the workload! As a busy homeschooling mom, I knew I needed to outsource some tasks.
I would like to introduce you to the wonderful women who help contribute to the success of this website. I’m very fortunate to work with such inspiring and talented women!
