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.

12/366

January 12, 2016

Fell off the 366 wagon for a few days, but I’m back to it again. Our sweet, old girl, Raven. Can’t believe she’s been with us for over 14 years. She’s lived with us in 5 houses, welcomed 4 children home and taught them how to love animals, and has been a loyal greeter to all who visit our home. We know our days with her our numbered, but we are thankful for each one we have! She is such a faithful companion and a dear treasure to us!
