Hello folks. Welcome to Boots & Hooves Homestead. Grab a cup of coffee (because I’m about that life), sit back and relax awhile.
I’m Mary Woita, former city gal from L.A. now living the country life. And I mean deep in the country. As in 20 miles from the local town and 2 1/2 hours from decent shopping. The struggle is real.
I met my real life cowboy, who spent his childhood where we live now. It was love at first sight and now we have three incredible children.
We live very rural in Nebraska where we raise, breed and graze goats & cattle, chickens, guineas and ducks.
My blog is about our journey towards a simpler life and modern day homesteading. I write about the things that I’m most passionate about — my family, our faith, the farm, natural living, nourishing foods, mom life, simplicity and organization.
I am a lover of nature, healthy living and an aspiring retro housewife.
How did we get here?
We began this homestead journey when I became pregnant with my first child. Being responsible for someone other than myself, I wanted the very best life for my child and any future children that we may be blessed with. The first change that took place was replacing all of our cleaning supplies and making my own that were natural and free of harsh chemicals.
But if I was making our home more natural, why not also change what we were eating, too? I started researching healthy lifestyle and healthy eating. I became more and more aware of what was truly in the foods that we were eating. Now we are Motivated to Grow our Own Food.
To me, homesteading and natural living go hand in hand. So, it started with the purchase of baby chicks. Before long, we purchased goats. And now we have a variety of animals around the homestead.

And in case you’re wondering why the name Boots & Hooves…long story short. It’s mostly inspired by our beloved cattle dog, Boots.
