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. 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.

I ordered a large sampler of different types of organic bulbs from Mountain Valley Garlic, so I...
Mushrooms are one of those vegetables that people either love or hate. In fact, I remember an IG/FB post from last summer in which I asked about proclivity toward mushrooms. Answers were extremely divided! I happen to be in the love ’em camp, but I know not everyone feels the same. I’d like to make...
We live in a society of information overload, at a time when everyone seems to have a strong opinion about what is the healthiest, most nourishing diet. I’ve shared before about how confusing it can be to figure out what we’re supposed to eat. But the truth is, it’s pretty simple. By using whole foods...
Being chronically “stressed out” is one of the most common complaints I hear from other people. Heck, it’s one of biggest difficulties I personally face! Not only does it cloud daily living, chronic stress steals our energy and affects our physical bodies as well. From aches and pains, to elevated heart rate, to being unable...
