A Little About Me

First, A Confession

I’ve always needed a creative outlet. Through high school and college I  was able to express myself through dance.  Now, I work part time in marketing and I do have opportunities to be creative in that space. However, I find that the daily stressors of being a mommy have left me needing a more personal form of expression. Simply put: I need a space that is just mine.

I can’t promise award winning writing or that no one will ever have their feelings hurt. But I can promise a genuine glimpse into the life of a modern mom who happens to loves digital marketing. I’m also just crazy enough to try to balance homeschooling my two kiddos and a farm. I love Jesus, so you will find scripture in my posts from time to time. Ultimately, if  I can be of some comfort or entertainment to just one other mom in the world then all is well.

Now, About Me

I was born in Amarillo, Texas and then had the privilege of growing up partly in Tennessee, California, Missouri, and Kansas. I returned to Texas in 2008 and lived in New Braunfels for 10 years. In January of 2013 my husband and I started our own business. Focused on serving other small businesses, Hayse Marketing specialized in online marketing including (but not limited to) websites, social media, email marketing and you guessed it – blogging! You can still read all of our agency blog posts here: Hayse Marketing. In 2018, my family and I moved back to Kansas, just outside of Wichita to be exact, in order to be closer to family and to fulfill our homesteading dreams. I share a little of everything on my blog, but you can also follow along with all our farming adventures here: Hayseed Farm, where my husband Dean is the main contributor.
