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.

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.

Man, these are some crazy times in which we’re living. Who ever would have thought that we’d be doing social distancing as an entire nation? Especially as my children had just started attending traditional school in January, no one in my family is really loving the new requirement that we all be at home together...
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...
It’s been a bit quiet here on the blog over the past month. With the new school schedule requiring me to spend quite a bit of time away from the house doing drop-offs and pick-ups, there hasn’t been a lot of time for writing. However, the one nice positive of spending so much time driving...
