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.

Being within driving distance to DC has its perks. Like expediting passports. Or taking advantage of the homeschool days at some of the coolest historical sites in the US. Yesterday we visited Mt. Vernon with my dad. We did a lot of walking and got the opportunity to learn about our first president. We toured the mansion, learned about its history, saw how the property worked, and took in the beauty of the Potomac. And the weather was amazing. A perfect fall day with my precious kiddos before their brother arrives.
