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.

Nine.

October 24, 2016

Nine years ago, this precious soul entered my life after 3 hours of labor and 3 pushes. He has been such a delight and is a most treasured son! His compassion and heart for others constantly inspire me, and I am so honored to see the Father glorified through him daily. He is merciful and grace-giving. He is so gentle and loving, and simply lights up my life with joy. He is constantly giving to others, always trying to make sure they feel special. I can’t believe that my beloved son is nine years old, I am so blessed to have him in my life! Happy birthday, sweet boy! You are a gift and I’m so grateful to be your mama!
