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.
GMOs are a topic for which I am very passionate. I believe we have a right to know what’s in our food so we can make informed decisions for our families. I realize this may be a divisive topic, but my goal is simply to bring more awareness about the potential health concerns of GMOs. ...
I don’t know how many U.S. states have currently issued official shelter in place directives, but I do know that Maryland is one of them. I would never, ever have predicted that I’d live through an experience like a pandemic. How wild! With our state’s Covid-19 peak not predicted to hit until May 1st, I’m...
I don’t use Onion Soup Mix very much, but I do keep a stash on hand for making my Daddy’s meatloaf. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods. With all of this social distancing and quarantining stuff going on, I was really craving meatloaf and mashed potatoes recently. I needed to make some more Onion...
When we decided to enroll (most of) our kids in traditional school, one of the first thoughts I had was … oh no, I have to make school lunches! Maybe this isn’t a surprise to you, but yes, I seriously spent a lot of time thinking about this. Though the schools do have some bought-lunch...
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...

Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. The world is ending, and the sky is falling. Two things: WHO says there are no known side effects to consuming GMO foods. Your statement about organic crops being just as profitable as GMO’s is garbage logic and miss leading. There is, no way organic crops can compete with GMO’s, in profit and yield. Maybe some organic crops can come close in profit but that’s only because organic crops are insanely expensive and overpriced. No, it’s not some big evil corporations ripping us off, it’s the nice little guy, the small-scale low impact farmer. Walking through his fields and pulling some weeds and talking to his plants. Under the guise that it’s all “natural” and “safe”. But he’s making the money on the back end. I say go ahead and stick-up for your organics, but don’t put down the technology that feeds the world.
