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 teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, 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 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 don’t know about you, but I love meatloaf. It was the meal I often requested my parents make when I came home for college breaks. It’s one of my top comfort foods, and I still use my Daddy’s recipe. His version had a lot of processed ingredients and while I haven’t completely eliminated them,...
The Raindrop Technique was developed by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young in 1989 as a unique practice based on methods that have been used for centuries to rejuvenate the body and mind. Inspired by the Lakota Native American tradition of observing the northern lights while inhaling the affirming aroma of nearby conifer trees, the...
I have been baking with sourdough now for over five years, and I have no plans to go back to modern instant yeast. It’s not only easier to work with and much more forgiving, it’s the traditional way bread has been baked for thousands of years. Sourdough bread is so much tastier and it is...
You probably already know that our bodies are subjected to a never-ending array of toxic soup given our modern environments. Even if we do our best to avoid chemicals, it’s impossible to completely eliminate toxins from our lives, especially thanks to modern agricultural and manufacturing practices, as well as EMF exposure. The repeated onslaught to...
My youngest son recently had to take a quick round of Doxycycline as a prophylactic for a tiny deer tick. Although we swear by our DIY Essential Bug Spray as a preventative measure, it can take us a few weeks to get in the habit of spraying every time before we go outside. It happens...

Hello Nicole,
I am pleased to find your webpage while searching for meatloaf. I read your introduction of yourself, and you sound uncannily like me. My theme as a person is “chasing after truth”. I lived in the country on 7 1/2 acres with cows, goats, and sheep for many years. My husband is a preacher, as is my father. I personally relate to adopting a child/children, as well.
I am a health educator by vocation and a Christian fiction writer, too.
My MBTI is INFP, and I can only wonder whether yours is, too. Or perhaps, INFJ.
It’s a rare pleasure to read a description of a person who I can relate to on paper right off the bat.
God bless you.
Heather
