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.

Catching up

June 24, 2016

It’s been a very busy few weeks! We had a wonderful visit with our Texas cousins 2 weeks ago and then headed off to the beach to spend some QT with one of our favorite families. While the cousins were here, I was able to snap a few pictures of all of the children together. They are such a fun group! It doesn’t matter how much time has passed, they always pick up right where they left off. My kiddos were especially excited to see them after having just spent Christmas together. It was such a delightful treat to have the whole group of them together!
