Hi, I’m Dawn —
So glad you’re here!
Welcome to my home sweet home online, lovingly decorated with family, faith, and Photoshop. I’m an Atlanta-based author, photographer, mother of eight, and Mimi to seven adorable grands.
I love movies, the mountains, and steaming cups of Earl Grey. I believe essential oils, which are as old as creation itself, are a gift from God, our original and best pharmacist.

“It All Began in a Garden is a book that everyone needs to read because it helps us understand how God created us and how we can thrive on this beautiful earth. Instead of settling for physical pain, sickness, and mental struggles, there are answers in the creation of God’s world.” – Callie Ammons, Enneagram Life Coach & Living Enneagram Podcast Host
