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.

On Sunday, we had football on the TV, chili going on the stove, and this delicious cornbread in the oven. Yay for all the things of fall, even...
I experimented with several variations of this recipe to come up with one that reminds me most of my Daddy’s recipe. I am really putting forth a big effort to have non-processed, toxin-free einkorn versions of our favorite treats available. Especially with the dietary changes to help manage Dumpling’s ADHD symptoms, it’s even more important...
After converting my white flour sourdough crackers over to an einkorn version, we all agree that we like these even better! I only needed to make a few changes, so there weren’t very many trials to get them just right. We absolutely love these crackers and I try to always have a supply in the...
Continuing with Operation Replace All The White Flour, I’m sharing my method for our everyday einkorn bread. This is the bread that everyone in our family eats and absolutely loves. I’ve found a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose is our favorite (about 1/3 whole wheat (240 gm) and 2/3 all-purpose (480 gm)). Though it...
