I’ve been asked a lot lately what my favorite sourdough recipes are, so I thought it best to have it all in one, easy to share place. The beauty of sourdough is there is sooooo much to try. I have a whole board on Pinterest full of recipes I want to try out. So, as […]
sourdough bread recipe
I’ve been making sourdough since April 2022. I started using another bread recipe that was much more intense. Then I discovered this one, made some tweaks and have never looked back. It’s the one I send home with my friends when I hand them their own starter and they are just as obsessed with it […]

The Terrace at Tiny Bluff in Lookout Mountain, Georgia is off a neighborhood road yet with all the privacy. The view will immediately capture your breath, regardless of the time of day or season, and The Terrace is a quaint, family-friendly cabin on the mountain.

let’s get specific and stop saying this…
“Let me know if I can help!” I’ve often made this statement and have been on the receiving end of it (just recently in fact), but usually it can feel vague, leaving us (me) uncertain if our offer will be accepted. Surely you’ve offered this and your help was never requested. I personally have a […]
retreet resort in scottsboro, alabama — a doggy collaboration
You may remember my stay at ReTreet Resort back in November. It’s a beautiful, foresty resort that you honestly need to visit to fully appreciate.

It always amazes me, even with little overall screen use, how drastically life changes when you’re not living for the next screen-fix. Obviously, this looks different for me as […]
my word for 2024
Dream. It’s a word that’s been on my heart for several weeks, which tells me it’s clearly what God wants for me in 2024. To rekindle dreams I’ve let die. To conceive and birth new dreams. And to believe that God wants to, can fulfill, and will exceed every dream I have. “Now to him […]
2023 in review
My word for 2023 was HEALTHY, and I think the enemy saw this as a challenge to bring me struggle. It’s a story that contains years of information, but since the Summer of 2022, I’ve been doing bloodwork, seeing doctors, having conversations, suffering from debilitating problems that were keeping me from events and hindering my […]
nature day forest school – 2023 overview
2023 was the year we launched Nature Day Forest School and I am in awe looking back at our year. When I was sitting on the couch, trying to pick a name and dreaming of what this could be, never would I have imagined the pure joy it’d bring our family and the numerous families […]
