There has always been music playing in the background of my life.
Fine art, symphonies, sketchbooks, my mother and grandmother's gardens, hymnals, fabric, soil under my fingernails — beauty has never just been decoration to me. It has been direction.
For seven years, I grew the most beautiful flowers I could find and created my self-taught floral designs from my kitchen at Floral Woods Farm (also known affectionately as home).
Seeds, seasons, sunrises. I learned that growth is quiet… steady… faithful.
Long before the farm, I felt closest to God when creating. Art and music gave my life depth and meaning. They were the places I came alive most and soaked in all the information and beauty I could. I always wanted to give the beauty I experienced back to others someday.
I always planned for a big family and a farm — and now my days are full of both. My husband. Our five beautiful children. Animals. Chores. Sketch books full of design ideas. Prayers in the quiet.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and my faith shapes my priorities and how I try to show up in this world — with compassion, kindness, and joy.
The legacy I want to leave my children is simply this:
You can live your dreams.
You can build something meaningful.
You can create beauty that blesses others.
Careers shouldn’t cage us. They should grow with us. Stretch with us. Make room for who we are becoming.
So I’m here — learning, designing, gardening, mothering.
Building a legacy of creation that fits my life — not the other way around.

I hope I live to 93 — and when I go, I want to go boldly, knowing I gave my all to adding goodness into the world.
Until then, I’m planting seeds — in soil, in art, and in my children.
If you’re longing to build a meaningful, beautiful life too… stay awhile. 🤍
