Hi all- my beautiful homestead is for sale. I’ve put so much love into this place, and have adored living here. My oldest daughter needs a fair bit of medical care in Hamilton which is quite far from me so I’ve decided to move.

Please send to anyone looking for a homestead, it’s a really special property! 💜

So grateful for a nourishing few weeks together as a family. God always has a plan greater than any of us could ever understand. This beautiful man and I have a love so deep that it always, in the end, breaks down the barriers in between us… Even after some really hard moments In our journey. Our sweet babe will always be deeply loved by us both. I love this picture of our family as it reminds me that Love, especially when you seek it, always wins. 💗 🐻

4 photos of Juniper from September 2025, and two pictures from March 2025, right before her diagnosis of .

The last two pictures are from the week before she was admitted to hospital after 6 months of near-daily puking, and 2 years of insane meltdowns and strange neurological symptoms.

The protein she was eating was not being properly processed in her liver, was releasing ammonia in her body, and poisoning her brain and organs. Many kids with her disorder don’t get a diagnosis before they lose their life to this brutal illness.

Juniper lost most of her abilities and body functioning in April, ended up presenting with a seizure disorder due to the length of time her body had been processing high ammonia. We are extremely lucky she pulled through and has rehabilitated to the degree that she has.

If you work in health care or care to help children like her, please advocate for ammonia blood testing for any children showing neurological issues, especially if these issues are accompanied by puking. It is a simple and affordable test.

Our doctor initially told us she needed therapy and that her puking was likely anxiety related. I was so frustrated when I went to therapy sessions with her last fall. They were trying to get her to express her feelings and I could see her looking at me like- “seriously mom?”

This girl has been telling me her feelings and shown a high degree of emotional intelligence since she could talk. Nothing against therapy, but that really wasn’t it for her.

When she ate protein (which we didn’t know was the trigger) she would end up screaming for over 3 hours at a time, was extremely aggressive, could not sleep soundly, would have these episodes acting very strange, and was regularly throwing up.

I don’t feel comfy posting the worst videos of the state she was in when she landed in the ICU but you can see in the last two pictures how skinny and sickly she became.

Grateful for our girl and that she has come so far in the last few months. Sending love to all the other families of OTC kids out there.

We love you Juniper.

The gardening thing heals me like nothing else on the planet. Lots of harvest to give thanks for. Lots of hardships to heal from. Life is a bit of everything in this mamas’s world.

Grateful for my children and all my loved ones and this beautiful bounty. 💗🙏🌸🌿🦋

Last Friday Baby Koda and I, and auntie (who came to support us) went to a beautiful event in Toronto to meet up with families of kids that have OTC deficiency, the rare disorder that my oldest daughter Juniper has.

We met people from around the world who are researching this condition and met our first other people that actually have the condition. I made a friend with a 10 year old boy who I asked to be my daughter’s pen pal.

It was a heavy day- to hear equally heartbreaking stories as ours about the difficulty of this diagnoses, and we even met families whose children didn’t survive the illness. It was also so beautiful to meet others and know we are not alone with this.

After I got back home my daughter needed to be admitted to hospital, we are there now. She’s okay- but not the easiest week for our family. Please pray for us as we navigate things. Thanks friends 🙏💗🌿

Here we go (grow!) August! 🌿🌺

Another week at the hospital down.

I’m learning slowly about medical-mom life. It’s definitely a life of living on the edge... Who knows when things might go sideways and we need to go to the hospital.

We tried camping and had one good day, but mostly we were managing meds, symptoms, and challenges.

Still, I have to say that this summer has been one of my most beautiful yet. Because there is something about living on prayers and taking each day as it comes, it really pulls me into the present.

I’m learning even more how to nourish myself in the chaos, and I’ve been loving bringing moms together this summer.

No matter a mom’s life scenario I feel that mothers needs some of the deepest nourishment of anyone out there. And I’m not sure why this isn’t the top priority of society considering kids are the future, but hey- build the world you wanna see right?

Join me on August 16 for our next Nourished Mama retreat! 🌺💗
