Hi there, I’m
Christina
ANSCAVATING is the place where all the pieces of my life finally come together — the genealogy, the old‑ways living, the cast‑iron cooking, the handed‑down recipes, the stories, the skills, and the deep desire to return to what truly matters.
For more than two decades, I was a nurse. Showing up on holidays, missing school programs, and saying yes to extra shifts because I couldn’t bear the thought of someone not getting the care they needed. I don’t regret the years I spent caring for others — but I missed moments with my own family that I can never get back. As I move into the next season of Life…
Anscavating Isn’t a Blog
It’s a return to the life I want to live — and an invitation for you to join me.
my purpose has Shifted.
I want to be present. I want to slow down. I want to enjoy my grandchildren. I want to live the way I was raised — the old ways, the simple ways, the meaningful ways.
And that’s what ANSCAVATING is all about.
It’s a place where I dig into the past — through genealogy, through recipes, through traditions — and bring those old bones back to life. It’s where heritage meets home. Where stories meet skills. Where the things our ancestors knew become part of our everyday living again.
