I'm Heather, aka The Modern Life Mrs. I am a Wisconsin girl who grew up crafting, writing sappy poetry one day, and rap lyrics the next (I can't make this stuff up!), playing sports, spending hours on the phone with my girl friends, and chasing boys...I LOVED the idea of being in love at the ripe age of 14. I can't help but laugh thinking about all the years leading up to my mid-twenties. But as I've grown, it all started to make sense to me. My journey has created the woman I am today...
After going through a lot of big life changes: ending long term relationships, changing careers (corporate world to entrepreneurship...YIKES!), and getting diagnosed with ulcerative colitis––things started to make sense.
It started when I took a leap of faith and took my photography business full-time after so many years of hard work and sacrifice. It led me to some of the most amazing people and experiences of my life. I met the man of my dreams––who is now my husband and business partner (we married in June of 2016). I had people come into my life that taught all served a purpose––either growth, friendship, inspiration, or all three. I photographed hundreds of weddings, families, entrepreneurs, and women. All the while trying to get my ulcerative colitis under control, I discovered the power of using food and natural supplementation as fuel + medicine. I also educated myself on the lies we are being told by big food companies on a daily basis and started sharing it with others.
Fast forward, two babies later. 4 different blogs under my belt. And now a rebrand for what suits this season of my life: still a wife and business owner––but also a homeschool mom, a homemaker, and most importantly––a daughter in Christ.
Thank you for being here alongside me for this journey. <3
