Farming wasn't my dream first — it was my husband's. Moving to Granbury and building Green Star Grove was an act of love, a choice to help him live out something he had always wanted. But somewhere between the early mornings, the chickens, and the sourdough that kept coming out better than the last batch, it became mine too.
When our son was born I threw myself into understanding baby development the same way I approach everything — reading everything I can get my hands on, testing what actually works in real life, and filtering out what doesn't. I made Play on Purpose because I genuinely believe every parent deserves the information I had to dig for.
Everything I share comes from real experience. That is the only version of this I know how to do.

Real Research
I read everything I can get my hands on, apply what actually works, and filter out what doesn't. If something doesn't hold up when I try it myself, I don't share it.
Budget Honesty
I include a free or low-cost alternative for everything I recommend. You do not need to spend money to do this well. Products are listed because they are genuinely useful.
Rooted Living
Farm life teaches you that the slow, intentional way usually produces the best results. I try to bring that same philosophy to parenting, content, and everything else.
