about me

hi! i'm emmi. 

i'm a Jesus loving, semi-crunchy, on-a-budget, first time mama & wife of an almost pastor. 

​

here's the DL on my life so far...

i grew up as a pastor's daughter in New York City. I have a twin sister named Esther (the bessst friend/person ever) as well as a younger brother & younger sister.

​

i went to college in Ann Arbor, MI (not UofM - look up Concordia University :) ) and my husband Conner and I met there and got married in 2019 at the fun ages of 20 & 21. my major was secondary education/english and after i graduated in 2020 (errr "graduated" - there was no ceremony), i taught middle schoolers (the BEST age) English and Literature. 

​

after graduation we moved to Saint Louis, Missouri so that Conner could continue his education. we are Lutheran and in order to be a pastor he needs to complete four years after college at a seminary in either STL or Fort Wayne. we chose STL, and the rest is history. 

​

we are currently on vicarage (long story - i'll explain in a blog post) in Warner Robins, GA. we will be here until July, 2023, when we will move back to Saint Louis for Conner's last year of school.

​

 i have always wanted to be a mama & when we found out i was pregnant in 2021, I was so excited to get to stay home with my sweet girl. so, that's what i'm doing these days! 

 my favorite mom fuel is iced matcha & i jokingly call myself the matcha mama. 

​

writing and storytelling have always been an outlet for me. when i became a mom & realized that there were things i wish i could tell other first time moms, i wanted to start this blog to have a reason to stretch my creative writing muscle AND share what i'm learning & loving. 

​

i'm thrilled you're here & i hope that as you read, you learn something or just enjoy a cozy story! 

​

peace,
