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 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.

It feels a little odd to follow up my last post with happy Christmas pictures. But we are … well … happy! Joyful! Thankful! Last Christmas was pretty terrible and downright miserable. I couldn’t imagine it would be possible to enjoy this Christmas, or any other Christmas for that matter. But being at peace coupled...
Dear Daddy, I miss you so very much every day. It’s been a year, and I still miss your reassuring voice and your comforting smell. I miss your words of encouragement and your sarcastic sense of humor. I miss your chuckle and your easy smile. I miss your knowing glances. I miss your fatherly guidance,...
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks! But I’m thrilled to share that we settled on our new house on November 30th, and moved in on December 4th! We’ve been working hard to unpack and make the house our own, but we are still taking a little time to enjoy all of our new outdoor space...
