Seattle Roots & Texas Boots began as a personal journey — one sparked by years of unexplained health issues, a deep love for home-cooked food, and a calling to live more naturally.

I met my husband while I was in college in Seattle, and he was stationed just across the water in the Navy. After graduation, we made a leap together—moving to East Texas, where the people and the countryside instantly felt like home. Not long after we got settled into our new home and started our married life.

Now, we’re planting roots on a little over an acre just outside a small town in Texas, surrounded by kind neighbors, and the peaceful pace of county life. We’re slowly building our dream homestead, where we hope to raise animals, children, and a life full of intention.

This space is a reflection of everything I’ve learned and continue to discover—from healing my own body through food and natural living, to learning to live slower and with more intention. I believe better health starts with what we eat, how we live, and the choices we make daily.

Here you’ll find nourishing recipes, non-toxic living tips, and real encouragement to help you slow down and reconnect—with your food, your home, and your purpose.

We’re so glad you’re here.
