About Bethany

I love My husband, my sons, + early mornings in the garden

Hi! I’m Bethany, wife to Kevin and mom to two boys who are turning into men before my eyes.

My family is my priority but that hasn’t always been that way. There was a time where I was career focused and driven by the desire for that next promotion. All that changed after experiencing a loss (and several near losses) within my little family.

After living most of my life in Illinois, we made changes to make our family the priority. I became a transplant to my husband’s native Kentucky, moving just a 5 minute drive from his parents.

While I have been blessed to be able to continue my corporate job as a leader within a Fortune 50 company, working from home, that decision – to put our family first and raise our sons just down the road from their grandparents – was the first in a series of decisions to live differently, to place our family as the priority, and to opt-out of the systems so many of us follow without even considering why.

We began to homeschool shortly after moving to Kentucky, and we found a community filled with friendship, joy and support. Since then my family has experienced health issues that led us to forge a path to cleaner living that came from many hours of research into what “clean” really means. This seems to be a never-ending journey.

I continue to work full time in a very technical role as an actuary, a role I truly enjoy, but which can be very stressful. Between my job, raising a family, homeschooling, and wonderful friendships we’ve made, life is full, including good days and hard day, just like everyone else. I’m here, in my inspired home, pursuing lifelong learning as I do my best to fill all the hats I wear – a working homemaker, a wife, a mom, a daughter, as sister, an educator, a friend, and maybe a friend to come alongside you. Welcome to An Inspired Home.

Join me on this journey…

I’d love to have you as a friend,

The average person make 35,000 decisions each day – that’s a lot of pressure! I found years ago that using a capsule wardrobe reduces my decision load for stress-free style. I’ve shared my personal capsule – for free! Intrigued? Check it out here.
