Hospital Bag Essentials | Part One

Do you ever get nostalgic about weird things? I do. This time it was my to-do list for the week that I ended up going into labor with my 5th baby boy.  Maybe it’s because he was a month early and this marked a big change in our lives. Or maybe it was overly optimistic […]

Nashville Lifestyle Newborn Session | The Puryear Family

The light fell softly through the window onto his gray rocker nestled in the corner. It wrapped around her like a halo. She curated this room especially for him, for her firstborn son cradled in her arms. It has only been a month but the time spent feeding, changing, nurturing and loving him is enough […]

Our In Home Newborn Session

Sticky, sweet, juice from the popsicle ran down his chin. Leaving a smile big enough to make the red stains on his white shirt the least of my concerns. We had just had the most peaceful photo session we’ve ever had. It was only fitting to end it with popsicles on the tree swing. Tennessee […]

St. Thomas Rutherford Fresh 48 | John Carson

  Secretariat, Hidden Figures and The Help.   What do these three have in common? They are all movies we watched in the hospital after Carson was born. Pretty impressive seeing as how we were only there for 24 hours. Not being able to leave gave us the perfect excuse to get our moneys worth out […]

Our Birth Story | John Carson

Covid. A word loathsome to most these days and the thing that drastically changed our birth plans. First there were no visitors at the Hospital, then one, but don’t count on it. Then we couldn’t leave, then we had to leave quickly. So many plans unfolding right before our eyes. All I wanted was my […]

ABOUT Grace

Mama of six, keeper of home, and daughter of the King.

I believe home is holy ground, feasting is an act of faith, and motherhood is the work of eternity.

We homeschool in a way that honors rest and wonder.
We eat meals that nourish more than bodies.
And we’re learning—day by day—to build a life that reflects the light of Christ.

If you’re needing solid recipes, craving slow rhythms, or just looking for encouragement from someone who gets it—welcome.
I’m glad you’re here.
