About Me

HEADSHOTsummer2020

(Photo by Moments Created Photography.)

Welcome!  I’m Erica, and this is my little spot on the web where I can reflect upon the blessings in my life and share the fun and the trials of busily raising six children with my husband, Cory.

I am interested in living simply and naturally.  I am always eager to learn new things about nutrition, wellness, education, and faith.  I work as a professional birth and postpartum doula, so I’m especially interested in all things related to pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

We have chosen to educate our children at home, and I will write about that journey from time to time.  You’ll find a collection of various other things here:  crafts, food, faith-based projects, a bit of rambling.  I love to share photographs, dreams, and goals–all things under our catch phrase of “growing together.”

Although, we have an entertainment factor to keep your young ones engaged, every single game is often designed to develop a specific expertise or course, such as mathematics or scientific research.

    Hello, what a nice site. Thanks for being an assest to our family. From the moment I met you I knew that you & your hubby were true soul mates. I will enjoy visiting this especially when I am having a “blue” day. I did send a lenthy message but I did not put my e-mail and it wiped everything I had said out memory is short on days like this. I will have to visit again.

    Erica, I finally had some time to read your blog tonight. I enjoyed it very much. I love reading about your wonderful loving family and life. It inspires me. I guess I don’t know as much about the computer as I thought I did, since I cannot give you any information on the Website line. I don’t know the answer. It took me a long time to learn what people were talking about using the word blog.I am trying to learn how to keep up with the times. I don’t email sorority very much, can’t keep up with the emails.
    God Bless You and Your Family, Erica.

    1. Hi! Thank you for your comment. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit. I will always think of Grace as my church family. We love our current church, but I miss everyone at Grace. Have a wonderful Christmas.
