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.
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.

My God! Did not know about Synthetic Vanillin content. Thanks for letting us know. Which Vanilla essence do you use?
It’s crazy, isn’t it?! We use the organic vanilla extract from Frontier Co-Op. You can buy it at some stores (like MOM), or online from their website. I hope that’s helpful!
Do you have the finished project to share? Would love to do this with my kids.
So nice to hear from you! I unfortunately do not have a final product to share, I’m so sorry! There are a lot of fun ways to do this though – I’d love to hear how you end up doing this with your kids!
