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.

10 Tips for Keeping Chickens in the Winter

Though backyard chickens are much more equipped to handle the frigidness of winter compared to the oppressive heat of summer, I do like to take a few preventative measures when the temperatures start to drop.  Chickens don’t need a lot of intervention and especially don’t need heat lamps, but a few actions make the winter...

Einkorn Oatmeal (Raisin) Cookies

I tried baking Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with einkorn flour last Christmas (based on an einkorn recipe from Pinterest), and it didn’t go well.  They were flat and just didn’t have the right texture, and then I ran out of time to try again. This Christmas season, I was determined to create a cookie I liked. ...

Sourdough Einkorn Crepes

I’ve made these Sourdough Einkorn Crepes several times now and they’re a serious winner in my house.  They offer an unusual yumminess with the sourness from the fermentation, and I like that the overnight proofing process eats a lot of the sugar and digests some of the gluten.  They’re a nice deviation from our normal...
