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 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.

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...

Science of Sourdough

If you’ve known me for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m obsessed with sourdough baking.  I started four-and-a-half years ago with a modern white flour sourdough starter, converting it to einkorn flour exclusively in 2018.  I began simply wanting to bake healthier bread for my family, but my efforts have expanded over the...

Are food preservatives that bad?

As part of a natural approach to supporting ADHD symptoms, I have tried to limit the chemical preservatives in my family’s food over the last several years.  It can be fairly difficult to completely eliminate them, but I am a firm believer in avoiding whenever possible.  As I’ve shared in the past though, we aim...

Why Consider a Water Filter?

According to the EWG, about 85% of the American population is drinking water that contains more than 300 contaminants. Isn’t that insane? What’s worse, many of the contaminants are not regulated by the EPA.  Some of these are harmful toxins including lead, mercury, arsenic, and antibiotics.  In addition, conventional farming runoff has also polluted drinking...
