💕 Welcome to our home — and to The Kealiher Collective! ☺️☕💞
I’m Tammy, mother of 8 and wife of 24 years. My husband and I built our home ourselves on 16 acres here in Wisconsin through a land contract.

If you’re looking for whole‑food cooking, budget‑friendly meals, simple systems that keep a big family running, and real mom‑life inspiration… you’ll feel right at home here. Frugal is my way — intentional, not deprived.

Here you’ll find whole‑food cooking, big‑family grocery hauls, homemaking rhythms that actually work, seasonal resets, nature walks, travel adventures, and the quiet moments that make motherhood meaningful. I share real life — the cozy, the chaotic, the heartfelt — nothing staged.
If you love wholesome meals, practical mom tips, homestead projects, homeschooling glimpses, and the everyday beauty of raising a large family… you’re in the right place.
💕 Welcome to our collective — I’m so glad you’re here. 💕

As a mom of 8, I’ve learned that motherhood isn’t about having all the answers… it’s about growing right alongside your kids.

Some truths hit hard, some come gently, and some you only learn after living a few seasons.

If you’re in the thick of it, mama, you’re doing better than you think. 🤍 Here is my heart to heart today. -Tammy

We Celebrated My Husband, Matt's 44th Birthday. (24 0f them we have Celebrated together).
Here is a glimpse of that day...he is hillarious and keeps us laughing. But often isn't in my videos much because of his work schedule.
Thank you all for being apart of our journey. Wishing you a lovely Day in your Corner of the World! -Tammy

I finally got around to doing a video about our homestead and how we were able to build our house and obtain 16 acres without a loan. I know that so many are wanting to buy land and move to the country and live this life. I hope to encourage you on your journey with knowing about "land contracts."

What is the weirdest thing you have done to deter animals from your garden?
This really worked for me-zero cost hack-hanging bed sheets around the garden beds!

Our summer harvest took an unexpected turn today.
While the kids and I were out picking raspberries, mulberries, sage, and oregano… we ended up rescuing a tiny bird that needed help. It was one of those sweet, surprising moments that remind you how alive a homestead really is.

I shared the whole story in today’s video — from gathering berries to helping this little guy get back on his feet. It’s a simple, tender glimpse into real life here on our Wisconsin homestead.

If you love cozy homemaking, family moments, and the unexpected beauty of everyday living, you’ll enjoy this one.
Watch the new video and come see what happened.

🎉 Our Son Turns 20 Today!
Today we’re celebrating our third child out of eight — the one who’s already stepped into marriage and adulthood with such grace and strength. Watching him grow from a little boy into a husband and young man has been one of the greatest joys of our lives.

We’re so proud of the man he’s become — steady, kind, and full of purpose. Happy 20th Birthday to our son! 💛

Today we are celebrating our Son turning 18! ( he is our 4th child now to become an Adult.) The time sure does go fast raising kids-in the moment you think it will last forever...well, it doesn't. You really never understand when the "last" of something is with children-just one day, they are doing things on their own-and you then look back and think "when did that stop?"
Wishing every Mama out there the best with their little ones, because in a blink,they are 18 years old, spreading their wings to fly.
May God continue to hold our Family together. Life is what we make it. Walking alongside you from my little corner of Wisconsin.

We’ve been spending our days outside as a family, tackling project after project and slowly bringing our outdoor spaces back to life. The kids have been helping with mowing, weed‑wacking, hauling things, and just being part of the rhythm of getting things done together. It’s amazing how much lighter the work feels when everyone pitches in.

There’s something so grounding about working side‑by‑side, watching the land change a little each day, and ending the evening tired in the best way sitting together in the Gazebo. These are the moments that make our 16 acres feel like home — messy, busy, beautiful, and full of teamwork.

More outdoor updates coming soon. 💛🌞
Let me know if you have any projects you are working on and how that is going!

Hello!! It has been a week since I have uploaded anything. I took a week off to gather my thoughts. I know that being a Mom with 8 Children & one just got Married is something my heart needed to adjust too. My Daughter In Law came by this week to have coffee with me and I treasured that!

We have another Son turning 18 Years old Next week, so stay tuned for that!

I just uploaded a Day in the Life Video-a long one-to make up for the quiet this past week as I reflected on the Wedding.

Thank you all for walking along side me in these Seasons of my life where Raising and Releasing are happening side by side now.
I truly hope your Summer is off to a good start! I shall continue to post a few long video weekly and get back into my normal upload schedule. -Tammy

What a joy it was to celebrate our first child out of 8, to get Married!
They had a lovely evening wedding and I was able to capture some behind the Scenes footage of what they would have missed being so busy on that day!
Cheers to our new Daughter In Law joining our Family!
