Rachel Jaybird: about me

I am Rachel J.

I am a wife and work-at-home mamabird in her late twenties. I am a writer, singer, poet, and pianist. I am a lover of the simple, natural, and beautiful. I am a daughter and sister. I am imperfect, learning, and growing. I am a Christian.

I am married to Andrew (since May 2012!), who is a clever (and hilarious) man, gifted musician, bible school graduate, worship leader, carpenter, and loving husband and daddy. He is my best friend. We both love ministry, music, laughing, talking, movies, God, and each other. We are excited to be growing a family together. We have one dear baby, Promise, in heaven and two precious daughters, Serenity Faye (aka Rennie), born August of 2015 (you can read her birth story here), and Haven Rose, born June 2018!

I am a daydreamer. I am a reader and thinker who also enjoys movies and those few fantastic TV shows. I drink my coffee black and my tea with honey. I find windblown hair most becoming. I love big windows, sunbeams, rainfall, starlight, and thunderstorms. I am a joy-seeker and anxiety/depression-wrestler. I enjoy many types of music. I believe in a minimal-ish lifestyle (in other words, I'm a "cozy minimalist"). I am a born and bred Hoosier who has lived in Utah (my hubby's home state) for a few years. We are currently back in my beloved Indiana, where we've bought our first home and are settling in to raise our family.
