Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Elizabeth, wife & homeschool mom. I was born and raised in the Bay Area of California. First and most important in my life, is Jesus! I am so thankful for God’s amazing love and grace! I am 100% a coffee snob. GOOD, strong coffee makes my world go ’round. And yes, I am probably drinking coffee right now. I love being in the kitchen, cooking and baking for my family and friends. Put on some Louis Prima and we’re set. My grandparents listen to him all the time and that makes me think of them. (*EDITED 11/2022 my grandfather passed the other day and reading that line that I wrote 6 years ago breaks my heart so much.) I love laughing, and making other people laugh! I overuse exclamation points (as you can see) because I want people to feel my excitement and passion when they are reading my words. Bright lipstick makes me feel pretty and I must always have fresh flowers on my table!

I have a love for mason jars and use them for everything. The smell of the ocean air instantly puts me at peace. I like to pretend I’m from the South because I love southern cooking and good old southern hospitality. I make a mean spicy fried chicken and my buttermilk biscuits are the bomb! and yes, I know no one says that anymore. But truly, they are amazing!

I started this blog to encourage women to find their beauty and worth in Christ. It is by His grace alone that I am here to share my heart with you. I am blessed to have seen God so clearly in my life and have always known that He has never left me even in the darkest moments. And for that, I could never leave Him! I want to share my faith with others that may not have faith, that may be going through things that God wants to free them from. I pray that you are encouraged and blessed when reading my blog posts and Instagram posts.

Follow along this journey with me as I share encouraging words, yummy recipes and little pieces of joy I find along the way!
