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.

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.

After almost a year, with a lot of hard stuff thrown in, DH and I finally got out for a DATE last weekend! Without children! It was so special to be out together ALONE! We shared a delicious uninterrupted dinner, and then took a peaceful walk on the beach while our toes got splashed by...
It’s sort of impossible to believe, but summer is coming to a close. I don’t know how these three months flew by so quickly, but here we are. Labor Day weekend always marks the end for us, because we pack up to go home from the beach permanently (well for the fall and winter anyway). ...
That moment when you see your new family portraits and they take your breath away because they glimpse into everything God has done in your life. The days aren’t always easy, and are downright hard sometimes. But He “has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” Psalm 126:3. His goodness is...
