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, and homeschooling mother of eight straddling two life stages: mom to two teens and six adult children and mimi to seven adorable grands.
I love movies, ice cream, steaming cups of Earl Grey, and helping people live healthier lives and learn more about how their bodies work. I believe essential oils, which are as old as creation itself, are a gift from God, our original and best pharmacist.

Herbal Remedies | Christian Inspirational
Although essential oils are rapidly growing in popularity due to their many physical and emotional health benefits, these natural remedies have been around since creation and were given to us by God for our greater well-being.
“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
