Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome, friend! I'm glad you're here! My name is Meredith Hodge, and I'm a passionate Christ follower, wife, and freelance writer from the Chicago suburbs. I love all things related to nature, coffee, animals, ministry, and plant-based eating.

After years of struggling to have children, my husband Matt and I found a beautiful freedom and joy in our childfree life! We owe this to the amazing grace of God, and it's my honor to share the lessons I've learned along the way.
