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.

If you can't already tell, I can't get enough of Jesus and sharing about his saving grace in my life! I'm all about living in faith-led freedom and grace-filled growth. Thanks for joining me in the process!
