We're a family of eight traveling near and far, leaving a little good wherever we go and inviting YOU along for the adventure.
"Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
— Matthew 5:16
We believe kindness begins at home; in the way we speak, serve, forgive, notice, and love one another. As parents, we want our children to grow up knowing that they don't have to change the whole world to make a difference. Sometimes changing one person's day is enough.
We believe God places opportunities to love and serve all around us. He can use each of us as an instrument to share His love through simple acts of kindness. Kind Rooted is our family choosing to say yes to those moments and we are inviting you to do the same.
We’re a homeschooling, faith-driven family of eight who believes in living life with purpose, love, and a willingness to show up for others. Through seasons of hardship, raising children with disabilities, and countless doctor’s appointments, we’ve watched God show up again and again through the hands and hearts of other people.
Those moments planted the seeds of Kind Rooted. We know what it feels like to need someone to notice, to care, or simply to remind you that you’re not alone. Because of that, kindness has become more than something we do, it’s part of how we live and how we want to raise our children.
We also love to adventure. We love traveling, exploring new places, being outdoors, and seeing more of God’s creation together. Now we’re bringing those two parts of our life together, going near and far, meeting people along the way, hearing their stories, and looking for opportunities to make someone’s day a little lighter.
Our hope is to show our kids, and others, that kindness has no borders. You can make a difference across the street, across the country, or somewhere you’ve never been before.
Wherever this road takes us, we hope to leave a little good behind. And help the people we meet turn hard chapters into stories rooted in hope, kindness, and love.
Help us keep kindness moving. You can support the work we're doing through Kind Rooted, or take the ideas with you and create an act of kindness of your own! Give, serve, encourage, or meet a need; every little bit of good matters.
Kindness has a way of spreading. Did you or your family do something kind for someone else? Were you inspired by our kindness challenges? If so, tell us about it. Your story could encourage someone else to do the same and remind us all how one small act can grow into something bigger.
We love partnering with other people and brands who believe in doing good with purpose. From sponsored kindness projects to family-centered campaigns and creative collaborations, let's build something meaningful together!
Travel has always been one of our favorite things to do as a family. We love going near and far, experiencing new places, meeting new people, and making forever memories together.
But over the years we've realized our travels often carry a purpose beyond the destination. Through trips around Minnesota and across the country, we've had the opportunities to meet needs, encourage people, serve families, and show up in ways we never could have planned.
We believe God has a way of leading us exactly where we need to be; especially when we pray about where to go and how we can be used while we're there.
For us travel has become more than adventure. It's one of the ways we experience God's direction, connection with people, and leave a little good wherever the road takes us.
