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 homeschooling my favorite students, 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 herbs and 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.

His world

November 30, 2014

It’s about to get much, much bigger. As he was looking out the window from the 14th floor, I was thinking about all of the changes he’s experienced. How his world has changed so much, and that changing is going to change even more. I know it’ll be a lot for him to take in, but we can’t wait to share it with him. Celebrating Christmas with this little love is going to be so darn special. He has such a fun personality – I know he’s just going to delight in all of the goodness that this season brings. He really is as joyful as the pictures show! So curious about his surroundings, delighting in the smallest of things. Affectionate and loving. It’s truly wonderful to witness. God knew what He was doing when He put us together.
