Wellness Educator

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 herbal remedies 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.

Us.

I was searching through my iPhone to find pictures for Dumpling’s two-year post placement report, and I found this shot from Labor Day weekend at the beach! I forgot all about it! It’s reminding me of warmer weather, which I am not missing right now! Autumn at the new house is magnificently glorious! I’ve been instagramming all about it, though I’ve slacked with the blog because we’ve had so much going on. I’m so excited to be soon sharing about the new project we are working on!
