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.

READ PART I HERE! I did eventually become interested in fitness and health enough that my husband and I, along with our business partner, opened three Curves Fitness Facilities beginning in 2003. But the over-processed, high-carb, high-sugar food choices I made all through my childhood and into my college days shaped the cooking style of...
I love using these #topnine picture apps. It’s so much fun reflecting on the year. In a lot of ways, 2018 was a huge year of transformation for me. I’ve learned so much about how my body thrives and I’ve implemented many holistic lifestyle changes to support myself naturally. Is my health perfect? No, of...
