This blog is an expression of a life-long passion of mine: encouragement. My life has been directed and blessed by choice words of encouragement spoken in due season. I desire to pass on the blessing and be an encouragement whenever I write.
Together on this blog we…
- Nourish our families with real food, and our souls with beauty and fellowship.
- Celebrate the journey that got us here, the sacrifices of motherhood, and the Father’s tender, patient love.
- Thrive, despite brokenness and a past we can’t change–we can choose to grow and even to dance.
You may find the content surprisingly random–I’m afraid I defy niches. But if you find something you like, you are more than welcome to hang around.
Popular topics include:
- Tipi Tales: stories from my family’s years living on a primitive homestead
- The Milk Cure: in which I drink nothing but raw milk for 6 days
- Of God, Mountains, and How I Met {and married!} my husband: Our love story, long, drawn out, full of juicy details and even a bit of humor
- A {Smaller} Blogger’s Step-by-step to Successful eBook Publishing: insider’s peek at DIY self-publishing.
- My Anxiety Disorder: How the Lord brought me freedom from debilitating anxiety.
You may also enjoy my sewing tutorials, recipe index, garden vlogs, or seeing how I make 3 dozen homemade tortillas in 10 min.
Told you I was random.


I'm Trina, and I'm so glad you've stopped by. Here in this space we encourage each other to Nourish our Families, Celebrate the Beauty, and Choose to Thrive. See you in the comments....
