About

Hi! I'm Mari. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm a wife, mother, homeschooler, and part-time marketing consultant living in small-town Missouri. Around here, we believe in Jesus by way of being Catholic, we cherish relationships, and we do our best to cultivate a simple, happy life.

I married the love in 2005. Jon and I have two beautiful daughters, Eleanor and Eve. We also maintain a small army of dogs and a cat.

My hobbies and interests wax and wane, but among my favorites are reading, browsing lovingly at books, planning book lists, crocheting, running, and cooking from scratch. Once upon a time, I liked to camp and backpack, but babies have complicated that.

I hope this blog will be a place to tell my stories, chronicle family happenings, and share our adventures.
