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.

Oils 101 | Lemon Vitality

Lemon Oil is one of the richest sources of the naturally occurring constituent d-limonene. Found in all citrus oils, d-limonene boasts lots of fantastic health benefits that you should know about!  HERE is a link to a great article with some helpful information.  Not only is Lemon an incredible citrus fruit antioxidant, it can help fight anxiety, boost weight loss, and promote restful sleep.  Lemon Vitality is also a wonderful dietary supplement that enhances the flavor of foods and water. A key ingredient in many popular products, Lemon is found in Thieves, Ningxia Red, and Inner Defense.

Ways to use Lemon Vitality:

➕Add 1-2 drops to your glass of water for a refreshing beverage – it’s gently cleansing and purifying (make sure you add the oil to liquid stevia first to mix into the water, and use a glass or stainless steel container, because citrus oils and plastic don’t work well together)

➕Place 1-2 drops under the tongue every morning

➕Add 1-2 drops to hummus or yogurt and serve with raw veggies or fruit for a healthy snack

➕Use in recipes for salad dressings, marinades, or baked goods
