Faith over fear.

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.

If you don’t have a selfie stick, I’m going to make the argument that you should spend the $5 to gift yourself one. Especially if your family is too large to fit in an arm’s length iPhone selfie like ours. And also if you are a mom, therefore making it highly likely you aren’t in...
I thought 6 hours was hard. Then 6 days was tough. And then 6 weeks. But here we are at 6 months. There’s something about anniversaries that makes his loss more difficult. The sting is gone but I still miss him like crazy. I see him in everything. I feel the memories all over my...
Although summer may not be officially here until June 21st, that sure isn’t stopping us from enjoying the beautiful weather! The kids have been spending lots of time at the beach and swimming in the pool since it opened on Memorial Day weekend. And I’m happily plowing through books. I love this time of year...
