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.

Happy Independence Day!

July 4, 2016

I am so thankful to live in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. One nation, under God. I love our country and all that the Constitution stands for. My Daddy taught me and my brothers to be proud Americans and to respect the flag. He always flew our flag when appropriate, and I’m excited to do that at our new house now too. Hubby hung our new flag for me yesterday, and I think it’s just beautiful. I’ve been anticipating the day we’d have ours flying in the wind to always remind us of our freedom!

I had the cutest little pajama-wearing helper while I snapped this picture. Sneakers without socks and all. Ha! Gosh I love him!

Happy 4th of July, friends!
