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 teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, 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 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.

There is certainly no shortage of products to buy these days, with options for every imaginable situation. But are they all safe? Unfortunately, just because a product is on the store shelf doesn’t make it safe to bring into our homes. Whether there’s a warning label or not, many of the ingredients in common household...
I’ve mentioned our ditch and switch efforts a number of times as part of my family’s holistic lifestyle choices. That has entailed going through most rooms in our home, ditching toxic products, and switching them for healthier, safe versions. It’s been a slow process that’s taken place over years. In fact, it’s a family journey...
