LET’S MAKE SOMETHING TOGETHER.
The Lark Life is a family lifestyle and education brand encouraging people to make, grow, learn, and live well.
Through the Handmade Happiness Podcast, YouTube, educational courses, written content, and social media, we share practical skills and real-life conversations centered around homesteading, handmade living, family, education, and community.
Hi, I’m Jessica.
I’m an educator, quilter, homesteader, entrepreneur, and creator behind The Lark Life.
Together with my husband, Thomas, I host the Handmade Happiness Podcast, where we share honest conversations about building a more intentional, capable, handmade life.
What began with quilting and making has grown into a much bigger conversation about the kind of life we want to build, one filled with practical skills, meaningful work, strong families, creativity, and community.
Today, The Lark Life brings together education, homesteading, gardening, food preservation, from-scratch cooking, quilting, and family life.
And we love sharing the table with other people who are doing meaningful work, too.

Gardening, seasonal eating, food preservation and learning where our food comes from.
