About Us – The Heart Behind Nourish-Nest

If you’ve ever had life flip you upside down, shake out all your plans, and then hand you a skillet — welcome home.

Over the last year, our story has been one of wild detours and divine redirections. We sold our home in Nevada after my husband, Matt, lost his job due to medical issues. We packed up, followed faith to Kentucky, and tried to rebuild from scratch. I even opened Sher’s Sugar Shack, my little bakery dream — but in a small town where gourmet cakes and hand-decorated cookies were a foreign language, business was slow and the bills were not.

Then life threw us another curveball: Matt lost his job again as his health worsened. We moved in with family to regroup, hoping to help and heal — but that chapter unraveled, too. Just when we didn’t know what came next, his parents surprised us with a lifeline: a 30-foot travel trailer. Our “tiny nest.”

That nest became more than a roof — it became a restart.

We hit the road with Boo (our co-pilot in fur and occasional chaos) and found ourselves in Oroville, California — near our daughter, a great specialist for Matt, and the unexpected beginning of something new. Out of the ashes of old plans came a little corner of the internet called Nourish-Nest Blog — part healing journal, part kitchen experiment, part comedy sketch of life in 240 square feet.

Here, we share the recipes and moments that keep us going: the cozy meals that comfort, the laughter that lifts, and the faith that never stopped carrying us.

We don’t have much in the way of possessions anymore — but we have our health (most days), each other, and a calling to make something good out of the mess. And that’s more than enough.

Because God has a funny way of turning detours into destinations — and ours just happened to come with wheels, ghee, and a slightly uncooperative RV oven.
