about

me and curly top at christmas
My about page used to say:
proud navy wife, smitten mama of two, artist looking for inspiration, lover of christ. I thought I’d expand a bit more to say:

I am in love with the cutest and sweetest guy.
He’s got the best quirks and puts up with mine. I follow him around wherever his job takes us.

I currently have two adorable little ones. They’ve helped me to refocus on the daily beauty of small things.
The significance of time and simple moments of sitting, playing, drawing and creating together. I truly believe there is an art of motherhood.

I graduated from college majoring in art, and have loved every form ever since I was young. For the past few years I’ve been freelancing as a graphic/web designer. Recently however, I’ve found much more delight and satisfaction in holding a pencil or carving tool. I love making wooden toys for the children and carving blocks.

I am a Christian, Christ follower, lover of God.
He is my bright light, peace and comfort.

Chris and I are have just started the process of adopting a baby girl from the Democratic Republic of Congo. You can read more about our decision here. We are so excited and looking forward to meeting our little one!

I discovered you today through Bamboo magazine and just wanted to encourage and lift you up in prayer with your adoption journey! I live in VA, love Jesus, homeschool, have 4 beautiful children….the fourth (my 3rd girl:) was adopted. It was an emotional roller coaster but the Lord totally knew what he was doing and this little girl had been planned for us long before we knew it:) I feel it’s the same with you and your family…..there is a plan and everything will fall into place. I look forward to seeing the day when you hold your new child in your arms!
