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.

I was recently asked some interview questions for a post in my online oily group, so I thought it would be fun to share the answers on the blog, too.

The blend is a natural solution created to combat normal stresses that creep into everyday life. Stress Away is the first product to contain the...
There is so much conflicting nutrition advice available today, isn’t there? This can make it virtually impossible to wade through the vast sea of never-ending options. Many programs tout the healthiest way of eating, but oftentimes they are vastly different from each other. For example: The government’s published standards include a 144-page document that tells...

Hi,
I see that you make waffles also regularly with einkorn flour. But do you use Maple syrup along with waffles? Doesnt it increase the glucose level. I also had gestational diabetes and in pre-diabetes now. So wondering … I am a vegetarian and do not take eggs also. So my diet is little bit more complex 🙁
Hi there! I actually don’t eat the waffles because of my glucose intolerance, but my kids love them. They do use a little bit of syrup occasionally for a sweet treat, but we don’t overdue it. Thanks for your comment, I hope you have a wonderful day!
