Sometimes I snicker a little bit about the name I choose for this blog, Our Peaceful Home, it sounds so serene doesn’t it? And, at times I wonder if people don’t want to stop here and read because they believe I have it all, I’ve attained it, and that our home is perfectly peaceful. Maybe, they feel like I’m going to make them feel guilty because I do everything well and they can’t. Some mom blogs are like that. But, I won’t because I can’t do everything. I’m here to confess to you that our home is not perfectly peaceful. True confessional: we are a wreck, a mess, my children fight with each other, and sometimes I even yell at my children. *Gasp.* Are you surprised? Are you thrown for a loop after seeing the title of my blog? Honestly, I choose the title of this blog because I do want a peaceful home (not because I already have one). I’ve realized along the way that it may never ever be perfectly peaceful, because I have an imperfect heart that has been saved by only the grace of God. You can read more about my true confessional of having an imperfect heart at my guest post at (in)courage here.

I am passionate about living well and living green. I believe life is a process and a journey. The longer I live, the more I grow, and learn. At Our Peaceful Home you can find inspiration for green healthy and natural living, seeking a relationship with God, deepening your relationship with your spouse, parenting your children with love and respect, fabulous whole foods recipes, green giveaways and reviews, money-saving tips, and messy real life stories. Our heart is to live a whole, well-rounded life that brings focus to the beauty of our savior, Jesus Christ.

I’m Becky, my family and I make our home on a beautiful mountain top of North Carolina, where my husband works for Operation Christmas Child. We have been married for just over 6 years and have two small children. I graduated with my BA in psychology from the University of Missouri and spent 5 years on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was a mentor to college students. I now enjoy investing in women through the ministry of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) International as a care group leader. Since I am passionate about natural health, and natural living I am currently get certified as a Family Herbalist from the Vintage Remedies School of Natural Health and hope to later complete their Master Herbalist program. You can find me free-lance writing around the web, chatting with women one-on-one and speaking when I get a chance, when I’m not chasing my little ones around the house or on a date with my hubby. I love connecting with other women to share with them all that God is teaching me.

I truly desire to honor God in everything that I do!
