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.

This is PART II of a two-part post. If you haven’t read the first post, please GO HERE first to read that part. This post will be a bit confusing to jump right into without the background information I published last week. There is so much convicting data in the newly-published California research, titled Paths...
It’s no secret that I struggle with breast health, going through a terrifying phase of breast biopsies to rule out a cancer diagnosis in 2019. And because I have extremely dense breast tissue, along with being 10% Ashkenazi Jewish and having a paternal grandmother who passed away from breast cancer, I’m in the unsettling camp...
I know it sounds classically crunchy, but I love oil pulling. I first tried it a few years back when I learned about how vital oral health is to maintaining overall health. I am blessed with good teeth genes, but my gums are not so lucky. You see, I used to be a person who...
