Helping women live their every day with intention.
Helping women live their every day with intention.
Leaning into life and legacy,
one simple rhythm at a time.
There’s nothing that beats that feeling of crossing things off my list. Give me my paper planner and a pen and I’m happy! But I’ve learned life is not always about finishing the tasks in front of me - it’s about focusing on the eternal significance of how I live out my days. Our every day moments, to do lists, meals and laundry build a LIFE, and our small rhythms and seemingly insignificant choices create our family's legacy. Life is about prioritizing the rhythms that keep you connected to the Lord and each other, so you can live it with intention and purpose! I'm here to walk with you in it, cheering you on to create simple rhythms of work and play that shape the legacy you're building. I'm so glad you're here!
HI! I’M NANCY
I’m a wife to Will, mama to five kiddos, podcast host, writer, photographer, early riser + coffee drinker, and “Mrs. Mama” as I homeschool 3 days a week. (We are a hybrid school fam!)
Most of all, my life is rooted in my love for and commitment to Jesus.
From that foundation, I love sharing practical ways to help women build simple rhythms that bring order to their days and meaning to the mundane.
PRACTICAL RESOURCES FOR AN INTENTIONAL LIFE
Whether you need a quick reset, steady encouragement, or a system to help bring order to the chaos around you, you’ll find something here to help you live with intention.
The Rhythms Reset Audio Series
Rhythms Reset is a short, practical audio series to help you find your footing again. In just a few simple episodes, you’ll learn how to plan your daily and weekly rhythms with intention, make room for rest, and build simple rhythms that work for real life. You’ll also get a solid game plan for the next 12 weeks to focus on prioritizing what matters most to you right now!
The Contentment Challenge
If you’ve ever caught yourself hitting “Add to Cart” one more time, hoping that next thing might fill a space only God was meant to, I’ve been there. The Contentment Challenge is a 3-month journey to slow down and find joy in what’s already in your hands. Through audio lessons, devotions, and practical encouragement, you’ll learn to build habits of gratitude, simplicity, and true contentment in Christ through a 90 day challenge to give up shopping for anything “extra.” I promise - it’s worth it!
The Legacy Photo System
Your memories matter. But between phones, cloud backups, and boxes of old photos, it’s easy to feel buried by it all. The Legacy Photo System will help you find your footing again with a simple, doable plan for organizing and keeping up with your photos - digital and printed! It’s a practical way to protect what matters most and enjoy your memories for years to come.
There’s even more…
Take a look through my other resources, each one created to meet you in your current season, encourage your heart, and help you live with purpose right where God has you.

I've listened to Nancy for years and have picked up tons of practical life-hacks for motherhood and marriage. Her systematic and thoughtful approach to so many different areas of life is fun AND a blessing to learn from! More importantly it is clear in her content that she puts a biblical lens over all of life, so in addition to learning solid methods from her, she shares biblical principles throughout too. Thank you Nancy!
