For the last couple of years, we’ve talked on and off about getting a pet. Ever since settling into our home after bus life, it was a conversation that would come up every now and then. The kids wanted a pet. My husband wanted a pet. I liked the idea too, but I wasn’t quite […]
I shared a video today on my YouTube channel, Our Fruitful Life. It was simple—just me, sitting down and talking. And if I’m being honest… I didn’t say everything I meant to say. Part of that was nerves. It was my first time really talking directly to the camera like that, and somewhere in the […]

Slow living comes naturally where we are. We live in the country — mountains all around us, farmland stretching wide, and a river that follows the length of our road. Life here doesn’t rush. It doesn’t push. It simply is. And I like it that way. For me, slow living isn’t something I strive for […]

One of the biggest ways I keep our home feeling light and peaceful is by decluttering — not in huge dramatic sweeps (though those can be fun too!) — but in small, steady rhythms. Every season, we go through all our clothes. If something is too small, ripped, or stained… it goes. If we’re bringing […]
