Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.
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 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.

The Instant Pot is one of the most versatile tools in my kitchen. I LOVE my Instant Pot for so many reasons. Though I don’t tend to make many one-dish meals, I do use it for lots of other tasks, like making bone broth, elderberry syrup, and yogurt. I also really love to steam fresh...
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...
Cold season is officially upon us, which means we’re taking extra steps to support our bodies! As soon as someone feels a hint of a scratchy throat, runny nose, or extra sneezes and sniffles, I break out the elderberry syrup. Most of the kids agree that it tastes pretty good, and only one of them...
