Welcome to Stronger Than Fire
Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect.
In 2017, we lost our home, nearly everything we owned, and our beloved black lab, Sam, in a devastating fire. The journey that followed taught us about resilience, healing, and finding hope again. Through hard work, therapy, and the support of an incredible community, we discovered that while tragedy can change your life, it doesn't have to define it.
Stronger Than Fire was born from that journey.
What started as a place to share our story has grown into a celebration of living life with purpose, curiosity, creativity, and adventure. Today you'll find practical guides, inspiring stories, and resources about camping, hiking, gardening, DIY projects, family travel, homeschooling, outdoor living, books, and creative pursuits—all centered around making the most of the life we've been given.
Along the way, we've had the privilege of writing for publications like Houston Moms, launching the Stronger Than podcast, creating books that encourage curiosity and exploration, and connecting with people whose stories remind us that healing isn't a destination—it's a lifelong adventure.
Whether you're looking for your next camping trip, inspiration for a weekend project, encouragement after a difficult season, or simply a reminder to slow down and enjoy the journey, we're so glad you're here.
Welcome to Stronger Than Fire—where resilience meets adventure, and every new beginning is worth exploring.
