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.

They’re a nice deviation from our normal...
I set out to make these scrumptious einkorn biscuits this morning and realized I had never blogged them, so today is the day! Everyone devours these babies. They’re so, so tasty and relatively easy to throw together in the morning. I’ve even made them on homeschool co-op mornings when we’re all rushing around like crazies....
It’s been almost a year since I committed to ditching white flour and switching to the ancient grain, Einkorn. Experimentation has definitely been the name of the game for 2018, on multiple levels. Not only have I transformed my health, I’ve really enjoyed working on my einkorn baking practices! I still have a few more...
With Thanksgiving only weeks away, I thought it would be a perfect time to share the recipe I use for einkorn pie crust! I’m not much of a pie maker, but I do make crust regularly for my Daddy’s Quiche, one of our favorite dinners. In fact, every time I make a pie crust, I...
