About Jennifer

A mom, a wanderer,
and a work in progress.

I’m finding my own wild, one imperfect season at a time.

Hello, I’m Jennifer

Life is full.
So is nature.

I’m a mom who homeschools, a yoga teacher, an avid reader, and someone who will almost always say yes to an adventure. I love Jesus, and I’m still working on loving all my neighbors. I’m learning as I go, just like everyone else.

Wildly Rested grew from a desire to spend more time in nature and let it inspire the way we live. Outside, there are seasons of growth, seasons of quiet, and seasons of connection. We don’t have to be in bloom all the time.

Here, I hope we can move with joy, wander with wonder, share our stories, and make room for rest in the middle of real life.

Places along the way

From California’s coast and Arizona’s red rocks to Alaska’s mountains and water, being outside keeps reminding me to pause, notice, and begin again.

The heart of Wildly Rested

Nature is the teacher.
We make space for each season.

Movement, adventure, and connection are simply different ways to notice what’s here and feel part of something bigger.
