Sharing beauty from our daily life on a homestead; Healthy Living, Organic Gardening, and Encouragement For Life.

Hi, I’m Carrie!
First things first. Praise Yahweh! He is the reason I live. And as long as I have His blessing to share on social media platforms, I will be writing, videoing, and creating beauty for His glory. Secondly, the only way you can be sure to not miss out on our 1000’s of roots content is to join our email list to the right.

Welcome to 1000’s of roots! Since December of 2013, my husband, Kip, and I have been building our dream on twenty acres, debt free! With our seven children, four boys and three girls, we live in a tiny house that we designed and built with many helping hands and are endeavoring to put in gardens, paddocks, ponds, and more in the Ozarks of Missouri. We love sharing life with others through video production, blogging, original handcrafted and digital arts and crafts, and whatever other opportunities our Creator puts before us.
So, we invite you to pull up a comfy chair and join us on our journey, but only long enough to be inspired to go out, be a light, and grow something beautiful.
