Jefferson + Tessa

We have been married since 2018 and since then have been gifted with three lovely daughters and one long awaited son. We are debt-free-renovating a fixer upper, while attempting to live within our means, homeschool our children, and learn to make our home a sanctuary of peace and security. I am here to share the many things we are learning and attempting, both in order to document our progress as well as to contribute to a "culture of home" out here on the internet. Within it all we hope to exemplify the beauty and simplicity of good old fashioned Catholic living - may God be praised by all we do!
