WELCOME TO HILLSIDE FARMHOUSE

Embracing intentional motherhood with a simple home, mindful parenting and clean living.

We share honest motherhood, a pediatric nurse practitioner perspective, and a more intentional approach to life with little ones. This space is rooted in confidence without overcomplication through simple routines, mindful parenting, clean living, and the everyday moments that make up real life with young kids.

It all started with us- Brian and Kelly. We bought an 1860 stone farmhouse on Hillside Avenue in my hometown, naming it Hillside Farmhouse. We renovated that old house for years while navigating infertility. I wrote a children’s theme book called Someday during that journey for us, to help provide some peace in the season of wait.

We welcomed out sweetest Someday years later, and followed our hearts back to Brian’s hometown in Texas. We bought at 1970’s fixer upper, sight unseen, that we renovated enough to get to a stopping point. We still love home renovation and design, but currently in a phase of contentment until we have time and money to tackle more projects. Soon after our daughter turned one, we found out about our happy little surprise after navigating infertility previously.

First Year Guidebook

A complete guidebook from a pediatric nurse practitioner and mama of two designed to help bring more confidence and less second guessing to the first year of life.

The first year comes with constant changes, new phases, and a lot of uncertainty. I created this guidebook to combine practical pediatric guidance from what I commonly see in the office with the real-life perspective of navigating motherhood myself. My goal is to help parents approach the first year with more calm, clarity, and confidence instead of feeling like they need to restart every time something changes.
