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.

My little cook

May 17, 2018

She always asks to help in the kitchen. She loves to help with anything, actually. She’s an excellent helper, always willing to lend a hand. After the einkorn pizza was in the oven this night, she asked to play with the leftover dough. Of course, I agreed. I love how much she loves to be in the kitchen with me. It’s great connecting time for us, especially when so much of the day is often rushed through. I’m reminded of the many times my Daddy let me help in the kitchen too. I hope she always enjoys playing in the kitchen as much as I do!
