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 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.
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 am currently giving one of my kiddos a round of antibiotics. Not for a “sickness” in the sense that most might think, but more for an acute situation that needs a little help healing. We try to live as naturally and chemical-free as possible, so it breaks my heart a little. It’s been years...
I wasn’t able to find the cashew milk I’ve been loving recently for my matcha lattes, so I went searching for another option at the grocery store last week. I typically like to stick with the Malk brand because they only contain a few ingredients and they are clean, but I thought I’d try to...
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...
I am so excited to be introducing this new project to our homeschool health studies this coming school year! As we’ve become more and more aware about all of the additives in our food, I thought it would be a fun and enlightening project to spend this upcoming school year doing some research about food...

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.
