HELLO THERE!
I’ve been journaling in diaries since I first knew how to write. I took my first disposable camera to church camp one summer in 1998, and the rest is history. I never stopped writing, and my love for photography only grew.
Through motherhood, my creative endeavors shifted from being an entrepreneur to learning how to use my creative skills and inclinations in my own home. My desire to stay home with my children only spurred on my goals to continue honoring God with my creativity within our family.
Through visual storytelling, my hope is to encourage mothers, women, and families to slow down, seek simplicity, and find beauty in the mundane. Cultivating an appreciation for creating with our hands, and ridding ourselves of the desire for instant gratification, and making your house a home.
I hope your visit here leaves you inspired to try new things, love your family well, and seek a slower, more intentional lifestyle.
Soli Deo Glora,
Mary
We’re the Salas Family
Pronounced like Salsa, but switch the last two letters. Sahl-us. We love to try new things in the kitchen, simplify our life, and share about all that God teaches us through finding beauty in the mundane.
A Few Things You Might Not Know
Roots
We were both born and raised in Northern California, and spent four years in Washington where we bought our first home, and where we really grew up into adulthood. We’re now settling down in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Parenthood
We believe in loving our children on purpose, life-giving words, and an overall holistic, wholesome lifestyle. We are walking through our first years of homeschooling, tiny living with littles, and teaching our children foundational Truth.
Cooking
We’re big on food, over here. We enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, trying to replicate dishes we had in our city foodie days, and anything simple and old fashioned. Offering fancy drinks and pretty charcuterie to guests is kind of our thing.
Creative
I’ve been a photographer for a decade, but have dabbled in many creative endeavors including watercolor, calligraphy, interior design. Truly appreciate fine arts, as well as getting in nature. I’m also an avid book-hoarder.
