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.

All I want for Christmas

November 29, 2017

I’ve always hoped one of my kids would lose their two front teeth at the same time. I don’t know why, but I’ve always thought it would be a fun thing to experience. Well, Sunshine turned that hope into a reality with the most recent wiggly tooth getting wiggled out! And at Christmas time. What a bonus! I was so excited when she brought the newest pearly white to me after lunch!

“All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth …” has a whole new meaning in our house!
