Welcome, friend! If you’re here, maybe your days feel full, your heart a little heavy, and your soul quietly craving rest and hope. That’s exactly why I write these devotionals—to walk alongside you through the beautiful mess of motherhood, homemaking, and faith. Each devotional is a gentle reminder that you are not alone, God sees every small step, and His grace is enough for this moment. Whether you need encouragement, a fresh dose of peace, or just a quiet pause to breathe, I hope these words feel like a cup of coffee shared between friends—real, honest, and full of grace.

Hi, I’m Bri — the heart behind Hesitant Root. I wasn’t raised on a farm or homeschooled in the woods. I grew up with a city mindset and a fast-paced lifestyle. But after marrying my very country husband, things slowly began to shift. Over time, I traded drive-thrus for homemade meals and school drop-offs for homeschooling rhythms. Now, years later and with four kids in tow, I’m a newish homesteader, a homeschooling mama, and a firm believer in starting where you are. Here at Hesitant Root, I share our journey of growing food, learning at home, managing a small space, and trying to live simply, self-reliantly, and faithfully—even when it’s messy and loud. If you’re navigating motherhood, home education, or a slow shift toward a simpler life, I hope you’ll feel at home here. This space is for the hesitant, the hopeful, and everyone learning as they grow.
