Hey there, and welcome! My name is Hope. I am so glad you are here! I hope what I have to share is an inspiration for you. Since you clicked the “About Me” link, I’m guessing you’re curious to know what kind of person I am, and what you’re getting into.

I’m happily married to my amazing husband, Josh (who happens to be a pastor, which therefore, makes me a pastor’s wife. Though I’m probably not the stereotype you expect from that.) I’m the proud mama of 4 amazing kiddos under the age of 5. We live on a 5 acre little homestead near Colorado Springs, with our two house cats.

I enjoy a good adult beverage, which for me ranges from a fine whiskey to a craft beer, and just about everything in between. I especially love margaritas on the rocks with salt. I’ve got tattoos, piercings, and vivid colored hair. 

I am a foodie—passionate about trying new recipes in the savory realm and baking. I love coffee, and truthfully, I’m kind of a coffee snob. I LOVE football. I’m a Vikings gal through and through (but I cheer for the Bears with my hubby too). I am passionate about fashion, with classic notions, but still being inspired by trends a bit. I have fun playing with makeup as a form of self expression, thanks predominantly to being a Mary Kay consultant and being influenced by incredible women in that capacity. 

I am a firm believer in the power of positivity, and I think it’s especially important for women to support and empower other women.

I promise to be real, raw, and authentic. I aim to show life for what it is a, sometimes messy, work in progress. We all have real life to deal with. If I can make it easier for someone else by showing how I got through part of this crazy life, or help someone not feel alone in what they face, then I’m going to do it.

Wife, mother, woman of vision, and passion
