Lydia is mother to four young children through whom she's found great joy in unexpected places. She loves to encourage others toward this joy in raising their children intentionally and wholeheartedly committed to Christ. Between read-alouds and toddler-paced hikes, she writes in an effort to draw others to beauty, truth, and goodness that ultimately points us to our Creator and Savior. Her roots are in the PNW but following her husband's career in medicine she's been transplanted to the American South. Together they aim to love God and neighbor through the local church and a hospitable home.
