Welcome to Nourish & Thrive: Why I Started This Blog

If your life sometimes feels like a beautiful, messy pile of Laundry, sink full of dishes, and unanswered emails… you’re in the right place.

Let’s be honest: The online world often shows us “perfect.” But this space is dedicated to the truth, the beautifully imperfect reality of being a woman, a mom, a wife, and an entrepreneur all at once.

I initially created this website to sell my tallow products because I’m passionate about simple, effective, and natural nourishment for the skin. But as I’ve connected with so many of you, I realized we share so much more than a love for clean ingredients. We share the same crazy, wonderful life.

So, I’m opening up this blog, Nourish & Thrive, as a space for honest conversation and genuine connection. You can expect to find three main things here.

• The Mother Load: The juggle, the joy, and the occasional guilt of motherhood and marriage. We’ll talk about everything from school-night dinners to the unique challenges and immense rewards of blending families.

• Life from Scratch: Practical living, simple recipes, and the DIY spirit that makes life fell a little more grounded. This is where the love of tallow, both on your skin and in your kitchen will shine through.

• The Hustle: The reality of running a small business from home and how I try (and sometimes fail) to keep all the plates spinning at once.

  Just as I focus on simple, whole ingredients for my tallow, I want to focus on simple, whole truths here. My goal is to create a community where we can all feel seen, relate to each other’s struggles, and cheer on each other’s wins.

  I’m so glad you’re here. I can’t wait to get started!
