About me.
I never thought I’d be married to my childhood crush, the mother of five children ages five and under or have a stay-at-home career as a photographer and blogger. In my former life, I was a Type A, first born, A+ student who became an art teacher as an adult. And now here I am.
If it seems like we have a picture perfect life, don’t be fooled, though. During the past couple years, my husband and I almost lost one of our sons, our marriage and our financial stability. My story is one of intense pain, personal growth and a determination to focus on the positives in life even when it’s lemons at every turn. And my story is far from over.
Being mother to our children is one of my most prized roles. Parenting is my passion. I have other passions, too. Like loving my husband, being sold out for Jesus, living in the Frozen Tundra, breastfeeding and babywearing my children, photography and all things colorful, homeschooling, natural living, traveling, living with no television, cloth diapering, advocating for small government, speaking German, sponsoring children in developing countries, vaccination delaying and straw bale gardening.
I am not perfect in any of these areas, though. I am proud to admit that I am very much a work in progress. A mother who is just trying to figure out life, one day at a time. I have been married for seven years, a mother for five and a blog author for four.
This is my life. Or, at least, the parts of it that I choose to share.
