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.

It is estimated that there will be 1,762,450 new cancer diagnoses and 606,880 cancer deaths...
“Preventative health” is a term that I didn’t think much about before my health journey, but it’s one that’s tossed around often in natural wellness circles. Wikipedia notes that preventative health “consists of measures taken for disease prevention, as opposed to disease treatment.” Simply put, it’s the philosophy that the best way not to get...
We’ve been making our own seasoning mixes for probably about two years. Our Ranch Seasoning Mix is used on an almost daily basis in our home for all the things, and we use this taco seasoning mix about once a week. Mixing up the ingredients does take a little extra time, but it’s minimal. In...
