hello
​Hello there sweet friend. My name is Tayler and I am so glad you stopped by. This is where I share my passion for all things cooking and encourage you to take back your kitchen with joy and intentionality.
​
Thankful Homemaking to me is nourishing those the Lord has entrusted me with, one homemade meal at a time. It is about the warmth of the kitchen where memories are made, the aroma that fills the home, and the hearts gathered around our table. It is creating food that comforts and brings rest to weary souls. It is making homemade cooking simple and attainable, so joy can be found in every meal shared. It is creating a place where the Lord shines the brightest. It is living out my mission field here, in the everyday work of feeding those I love. It is choosing to find the beauty, blessing, and privilege in it all.
A little more about us; I am married to my best friend, Matt. We met our junior year of high school, married at 18, and have been building our lives together every day since. We are currently raising our little ones up on our little homestead and enjoying every minute of this season we are in.
We are parents to identical twin boys, who went to be with Jesus a few days after they were born at 28 weeks on December 6, 2015. A few months later we felt this strong urge to start the home study process and pursue adoption. We adopted our son in the fall of 2016 and have been hooked on him since day one. A few months later we found out we were expecting again, and our daughter was born 11 days before his first birthday, making us parents to Irish twins. Our second daughter was born winter 2019 turning us into parents of 3 under 3. Then our third daughter joined our family summer of 2021 and our sweet little boy completed our family fall of 2023. Our youngest is deaf, and the Lord has been so gracious in leading us on this journey of learning ASL alongside our son. Our life has been a beautiful reminder of Gods sovereign hand —how He perfectly prepares and equips us for exactly what He has planned. Every chapter of our story, through loss and joy, adoption and birth, has been woven together in His perfect design, and we are grateful for the beauty He has created through it all.
Jesus is the center of our home and we exist to radiate His light in everything we do. I am blessed to be able to spend my days raising our little ones. Here you will find my heart for cooking from scratch and nourishing their hearts and bellies. Homeschooling, homemaking, homesteading, and motherhood fill my cup. If you have any questions or want to chat, please reach out, I would love to connect with you
