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 teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, 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 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.

The possibilities of garden planning

Oh, all the possibilities!  I have been happily collecting all of the seed catalogs as they’ve been rolling in over the past few weeks.  I think it’s so fun to look through all of them and pour over the possibilities of what might grow in my garden!  I’m planning on adding more fruit plants, including maybe some grapes and elderberry.  I’m hoping to eventually make some elderberry syrup, though I know it’ll take a few years before the plants are established.  I’m planning on doubling my tomato plants for sauce-making purposes.  I also want to give all the gourds another try … they didn’t do very well last year.  I’m considering trying a few early plants, like beans and lettuce.  Of course that requires I grow seeds indoors and get going pretty early, sooooooo we’ll see how that goes.  I’ll start with lists.
