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.

Homecoming

December 8, 2014

After our parents picked us up at the airport, the drove us home – about a 3 hour drive. We arrived home to a house filled with our dearest, most favorite people. It was … absolutely priceless. Here are a few (ok, a lot) of the pictures that I am so incredibly thankful were captured by Lisa Marie Photography. Lisa dropped everything to join us with just a few hours notice that day, after our original photographer hurt his back and was unable to be with us. The memory of this day will stick with me forever. So much love.
