ABOUT

Welcome to the Happy Thoughts Homestead! 

My name is Mandi Leigh, and my husband and I built this 2-acre mini-farm located in the dry, remote Arizona desert where temperatures range from 15° in the winter to 115° in the summer.  My son and I have Celiac Disease, so our family has to eat a very strict gluten-free diet to avoid serious illness. Extreme temperatures! Disease! Are you thinking happy thoughts, yet?

Even through life’s significant curve-balls and challenges, we’ve managed to achieve great success! We love our gluten-free diet and all things homestead-ish.  With a little ingenuity, creativity, and some seriously intentional thought captivation, we are living a positively happy life at the Happy Thoughts Homestead.

This site is a dedicated writing space for my personal thoughts and narratives about homestead life, outdoor adventure, and more. Thank you for stopping by.

Think happy thoughts,

Mandi Leigh
