About

welcome!

my name is amy and this is my blog.

a blog i originally started after my daughter was born to keep friends and family up to date on our sweet baby girl.

but it is slowly turning into more than that.

i am passionate about gentle parenting.
i believe children need to be and feel unconditionally loved and to be respected for the individuals they are.
i love my life as a stay at home mom and homemaker.
diy projects, cooking whole foods, living as naturally as possible are a few things i will continue
to blog about.

in the summer of 2009 i married the most giving, sweetest man i know.

 and just two years of marriage later we welcomed our sweet daughter, scarlett grey. 

she is now entering toddlerhood and we could not be more blessed by the gift that is her.

you can read her birth story here.

...things you might want to know...

i love food but hate cooking. and hating cooking is not good when you are passionate about 

eating healthy, whole foods. so join me as i share my cooking disasters adventures! 

and always feel free to leave cooking tips ;)

 i like to have deep conversations with people. i'm very open -- as far as i'm concerned, TMI does not exist.

i also awkwardly ramble and use more words than necessary. 

although i try to edit them out when blogging and than sometimes i think i'm not using enough words. hmmm.

i love to read. 

i want 4 kids. and i've always wanted to adopt. when i was 15 i filled out an adoption application for my parents. 

i like piggy banks and love journaling. actually i think the correct word is journalising. but that sounds weird. 

i love taking pictures.

i am learning daily to live simply in the joy of Jesus.
