Hi, I’m Emily!

Nice to meet you! I’m humbled that you took time out of your busy schedule to visit my blog!

In 2016 I married my high school sweetheart, Melvin. Since then the Lord has blessed us with 3 lively children! We live in Northern Alberta in a Mennonite community where both of us were born and raised.

Born into a family of 11 children, I had a very vibrant childhood and loved basically every minute of it! There was never a shortage of ideas or activities going on. My mother was a true homemaker and instilled those values into me and my sisters from a young age. Most of what I’ve learned has come from watching her and my father work hard and make daily sacrifices to create a home where we felt loved and secure.

On a typical day you’ll find me cooking from scratch meals for my family, homeschooling my children and doing the things it takes to manage a home. I’m passionate about about learning new things and I love to read, paint, create and spend time outdoors!

The Fervent Home is a place for the homemaker who strives to diligently serve her family by creating a home they love! It is my hope that you’ll find this community a place where you feel encouraged and uplifted! Together we’ll learn new things in the home, from cooking, to gardening, motherhood, homeschooling, health and so much more! Join the club!
