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 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’m so out of the loop that I didn’t even know we were supposed to get snow today. But we did! Only about an inch, just enough for it to start sticking on the grass. But it was beautiful with nice big flakes. A perfect snow for Dumpling’s first experience! As usual, he delighted. He...
Cookie baking? He was a big fan. He sat and waited for the next step patiently, and then eagerly participated as I showed him what was next. Watching him experience everything for the first time is simply wonderful.
We typically pull up the tree and decorate it on the day after Thanksgiving, but we all agreed to wait for Dumpling to come home this year. I’m so glad we did. Although it was a bit more chaotic, it was priceless to see all four children hanging ornaments together. Absolutely priceless. I’m not sure...
He’s quickly realizing how awesome and funny his daddy is. And I love to watch their relationship blossom.
We’ve been relaxing and “cocooning,” working on teaching Dumpling who our family is and what it means to have a mama and baba! He continues to be such a delight – so happy and smiling all the time. He has entertained himself and everyone else with the play kitchen for seriously extended amounts of time....
