Hi, I'm Julia! I'm a Christian woman from Chicago, now living in Sterling, Virginia, with my husband, who has been my best friend since college, and our three cats. We married on the beach in 2024 and hope to grow our family soon.
I cook and bake from scratch, make what I can myself, and love simple, healthy food with treats in moderation. We're getting back to basics and dream of homesteading someday. After five concussions, brain health is close to my heart.
Above all, I want to love and serve people well. One day, I hope to open a place where people can come for rest, care and healing in body, mind and spirit, all pointing to Christ, the ultimate Healer.
Here you'll find from-scratch recipes, homemade body care and cleaning, products we love, places worth visiting, and my faith. Thanks for being here!
Meet the cats
Negril, a former Jamaican street cat, narrates our book in progress, Nine Lives & No Passport. In his words:
I don't know how to explain how good it feels to be someone's first priority. I just know that I am. Every time.
Missy is the hunter and head of the house. Jensen is the master fly catcher and Missy's biggest fan.
