Hi there, I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a homeschooling mom of three (one boy and two girls), married to a real life lumberjack. I started this blog as a cheerful little corner of the internet to share recipes, creative projects, party inspiration from my stationery shop, and anything else that makes life a little more beautiful.

Over the years, Staying on the Sunnyside has grown right along with me. After my mom’s diagnosis in 2024, I began diving deep into health—especially how genetics (like my MTHFR mutation) affect everything from energy to mood. You’ll now find tips and meal ideas for navigating health naturally, backed by curiosity and what’s actually worked for our family.

Whether you’re here figuring out what’s for dinner, looking for a homeschooling tip, or just want something encouraging to read with your morning coffee—I hope you find a little sunshine while you’re here.

My faith in Christ is the foundation that helps me stay on the sunnyside, even when life feels uncertain. It’s what guides our family’s choices, fills our home with grace, and reminds me that joy can be found in both the everyday and the extraordinary.

“Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.”
