About
Welcome to The Untamed Mama — a space dedicated to faith-filled motherhood, outdoor adventures, non-toxic living, homeschooling, nourishing the body, and creating a balanced home. This blog is my journey of learning, growing, and sharing as I navigate motherhood with intentionality and a deep desire to make informed decisions for my family.
Why I Started this Blog
When it comes to making decisions—especially those affecting my child—I believe in being as informed as possible. I want to do the research, explore all angles, and seek out legitimate sources rather than relying on social media algorithms that push content based on my existing beliefs. While I enjoy Instagram reels, Facebook videos, and YouTube, I know they often reinforce what I already think rather than challenging me with new perspectives or solid facts. Just because something resonates doesn’t mean it’s true.
That’s why I started The Untamed Mama. This blog is my personal archive—a place to document my research, thoughts, and discoveries so I can refer back to them as I grow as a mother, add more children to my family, or simply find myself too exhausted to think clearly. It also serves as a resource for friends, family, and other moms who, like me, want evidence-based information at their fingertips.
Rekindling My Passions
Beyond research, this blog is a creative outlet. Over the years, I’ve let go of many passions—writing, reading, drawing, photography—often because I felt I wasn’t “good enough.” But I’m learning to reclaim these joys, not because I have to be the best at them, but because they bring fulfillment.
I also love the outdoors—hiking, camping, horseback riding, wake surfing, (snow) skiing, and simply relaxing in nature with a good book. But like my creative outlets, these experiences have taken a backseat. The Untamed Mama is a way to inspire myself (and hopefully others) to step back outside, to explore the beauty of New England, and to prioritize time in nature with my daughter. I want her to grow up connected to the outdoors, and that starts with me leading by example.
Faith & Motherhood
Motherhood has challenged me in ways I never imagined. It has pushed me emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, forcing me to grow and seek God in ways I never did before. Prayer is now an integral part of my daily life, and I am striving to become the mother that God created me to be.
This blog is not just about learning—it’s about growing. Spiritually, I want to deepen my faith and trust in God’s plan. Physically, I want to nourish my body and care for my health so I can be present and strong for my family. Emotionally, I am working to regulate my emotions, build resilience, and foster a peaceful, intentional home environment. My goal is to be a mother who leads by example—one who my daughter can look up to for guidance, wisdom, and strength.
“Motherhood is my greatest adventure - one of faith, growth, and intention - and I’m embracing it untamed.”
