Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Beijing Sightseeing Day

We arrived in Beijing last night!  The plane ride over was uneventful and the kids really rocked the whole adventure!  We fought to stay up past 7pm, but jet lag won shortly after that.  It worked out well though, because we were up bright and early for some Beijing sightseeing.  We started with the Great Wall, broke for lunch, and then went to the Summer Palace.  This was my 3rd Great Wall trip, but it was my first visit to the Summer Palace, so I snapped a lot of pictures there.  I apologize in advance, this post is somewhat of a photo dump.  We finished up the evening with a traditional Chinese dinner where Sunshine fell asleep ON the table.  Jet lag is serious business!

Tomorrow we will shop and then catch our flight to Guangzhou.  And then Monday is Family Day, it’s still just so surreal.  I have to pinch myself thinking about being in China will all of our children, knowing that meeting Dumpling is less than 2 days away!  Thank you so much for covering us in prayer – it means more than you know!
