Hey! I’m Karmen.
It’s nice to meet you!

Get to Know Karmen

Welcome to my neck of the woods. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m wife to a cowboy and mom to five boys. Two grew in my belly and three in my heart while fostering, which led us to adopt. We are a beautifully broken, forever family.

I love Jesus and words and thrifting and flowers. Outside is my favorite place to be.

Encouraging you puts fire in my belly! I would love to encourage you to keep showin’ up in those places where quitting would be a lot easier and to inspire you to #PrayBig because God is faithful!

Thanks for being here. I look forward to getting to know you better!

Karmen’s Official Bio

Karmen’s genuine care for people make her a friend to everyone and a stranger to no one. With her authentic Southern charm that both motivates and inspires, Karmen shares real stories about real life, challenging others to trust God in the midst of all of life’s struggles. She is a natural and gifted teacher and communicator, and not just because she holds an MA in Elementary Education, having taught for over a decade. She’s a wife and busy boy mom of five, raising them to do one brave thing a day on their Alabama farm.

Karmen’s faith has been stretched and grown through journeys of infertility, loss, fostering, and adoption (not to mention business ownership, home schooling, and so much more). She’s learned that when you #PrayBig things happen and how important it is to keep showin’ up! So, grab that glass of sweet tea or a cup of coffee, pull up a seat on the front porch, and prepare to be both inspired and challenged by the blessings and wisdom Karmen has to share.

Let’s Stay in Touch!

My hope is to encourage you with real stories about real life and real faith in Christ to help you keep showin’ up in your daily walk with Jesus. I invite you to subscribe here for the latest updates and faith-filled stories from the farm.
