About

Hi, I’m Amber.

I started this journal in early 2022 to know customers and other small-business owners as people — not just checkout pages.

Here you’ll find how to make a house feel like home, updates from the shop, and bi-weekly devotionals. My real passion has always been sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I also own the This Rooted Life Shop, where I sell handmade home décor. It began with digital prints and became wood signs, tiered trays, farmhouse book stacks, pillowcases — with more still coming. I’ve never been one to sit behind a desk for long hours. Being able to create, woodwork, and connect with you has been a gift.

Thank you for stopping by. Leave a note, or join the list so we can keep going together.

Animals, gardens, and wide-open space.

I moved here with my husband for his residency. I’ve always had a heart for farms — never much of a city girl. After residency we hope to run a large hobby farm. Until then I make a little of that life, here, with my hands.

Not only did Jesus save me — He is my very best friend. My husband and I have walked through recurrent pregnancy loss. God has been, and is, our anchor in that storm.
