- Est. November 2020 -

Oh, hi.

I'm Aliyah

Oh, hi.

I think when I say "2020 was a year of realization", a lot of people can resonate with that. 2020 was... overwhelming. Not only on a National and Global scale but also on a personal level.

2020 was the year I decided to put family first and I became a stay at home mom. Eventually, I decided to explore my hobby of photography!

Fun Facts


I am a mom of 5 babies.

I am a wife to a big burly man. ;)

I am a believer! "... I came so that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10

We have a Lab mix, a Great Dane and two cats.

We also have some laying hens, dairy goats, pasture cows and pigs as part of our little homestead.

I love all animals but hippos and pigs have my heart.

I've always had a dream of having my own little homestead but do not have a green thumb.

My kids bring me the most joy.

I have a [bad] tendency of having really long talks with strangers I meet at grocery stores.

I get weird post-conversation anxiety.

I am extremely forgetful.

Our home is my safe space.

I really enjoy window shopping - particularly for jewelry (if you've never walked into a jewelry store and asked to try on their most expensive piece just because... you're missing out).

"Start now.
Start with fear.
Start with pain.
Start with doubt.
Start with hands shaking.
Start with voice trembling but start.
Start & don't stop.
Start where you are with what you have.

Just... Start..."
