About Me

Hi, I’m Kalah!

I’m a teacher turned full time stay at home mommy to two crazy kiddos- Esther and Simon.

I’m married to my best friend in the whole world, Joel. He is my total opposite- calm, coordinated, and full of common sense.

I’m a Christ follower who is trying to find beauty in the imperfect around me & use what He has given me to glorify Him and serve others. I love to write about the ordinary chaos of my life while I reflect and try to find God in the mundane. Sometimes things are messy, loud, and all over the place, but I am so excited to share my life with you!

A special request from this little girl to take a picture with her arm around me MUST be honored 🤎 I hope she always wants to be with me this much.

Well, @gribbledylan , ya did it! I’m so proud of you, bud! I’m probably going to cry a lot on the way home, but I’m sure you’ll be celebrating all night!

This precious old soul found a vintage typewriter

This precious old soul found a vintage typewriter at a yard sale today and used his birthday money to buy it. Five dollars for a totally functioning typewriter- and new tape- is one steal of a deal. I hope his love for stuff like this never fades 🤎 #thriftstorefinds #thrift #oldsoul #antique #antiques #momblogger #mommyblogger

And just like that… he’s F I V E.

My Mimi loves @charlesbillingsley and my aunt has several pictures with him. They told me I had to get a picture since she did. I laughed and said “how am I supposed to do that!? It’s not like I can just jump on stage!” But I saw him and he was more than willing to help me try to outdo her!

After a lot of prayer and listening for the Lord’s guidance, I’ve decided to go back to the classroom! This isn’t what I expected- I thought we were homeschooling for sure- but it’s so much what my heart, soul, and family need. I’m BEYOND excited to go back into the ministry that God has given me, and to share that with you, too! I’ll be posting more about our decision and details, but I could wait to announce it 🤎 Mrs. NewNew is back, y’all! (This is the picture I sent to my husband right before my interview. I was super excited 😂)

Two wild, crazy peas in a pod. Having two under two was super hard for me, but now that we’re in the best friends phase, I’m so glad we did 🤎 #homestead #halfwayhomestead #naturelovers #hobbyfarm #newcrew #lifebeautifullyimperfect #getoutside #exploremore #nature #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhood #mommyblogger #momblogger #familylife #countryliving #mommydiaries #bloggermama #mamablogger #mamablog #mamablogger #momblog #bloggermom #momswhoblog #blogonmama #childhoodeveryday #runwildmychild #wildandfreechildren

Hey, friends 👋 We have a few new faces around

Hey, friends 👋
We have a few new faces around here, so I wanted to introduce myself!
I’m kalah- a Jesus follower, wife to my best friend, and mommy to two crazy toddlers. In 2020, I traded in my classroom in the city for a homestead up on the mountain.

I’ve learned a lot about myself and grown a lot in my faith since becoming a mom. In the past 5 years, I’ve lost family members, been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, started to learn to love myself, found new passions, and began intentionally searching out God’s faithfulness in the everyday.

I hope you’ll find humor, encouragement, and inspiration in my journey that I share here and on my blog!

What about you? Introduce yourself and let’s be friends 🤎

What a wild past three years.

How adorable are tiny hands grabbing food!? We’re about to embark on a food journey to steer us into a cleaner, healthier diet full of nutritious Whole Foods. And I’m terrified! As someone who loves to eat and generally doesn’t make healthy choices, I’m worried I’ll crash and burn… but I’m ready to make a change! Spam me with your favorite accounts, recipes, and tips!

I couldn’t love you more, little tater tot.

Part of Charlotte Mason’s idea of mother culture

Part of Charlotte Mason’s idea of mother culture (although it was never actually expressed by Charlotte herself) is the idea of feeding your own curiosity and hunger for learning by reading at least 30 min a day. Did you know it is also recommended to have 3-5 books going at once? Just like with eating a meal or snack, you can’t know what you’re in the mood for until the time has come.

📚 Have 3-5 books from different genres going so you can always have something appealing to read.
📚 Keep books spread our, not just in one place. That way, you’re always near to a good read.
📚 Hide your phone or set screen limit settings. DO NOT read from a screen, but instead, model for your child how to get lost in a good paper book!
📚 Give yourself grace- getting into (or back into) the habit of reading takes time, patience, and mental training. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t do a full 30 minutes or it doesn’t look the way you imagine it would.
📚 follow @thecommonplacehomeschool for the best #charlottemason guidance!
