Meet Lexi
Hi! I’m Lexi, short for Lexington. So many people ask me if I’m from Kentucky. I am not from Kentucky but I do have family members there. I am a part time hairstylist and an avid crossfitter. Most importantly, I’m a mama and a wife. My identity is rooted in Christ. Church is our home away from home. My family comes first in my life. I have the most amazing husband who is so incredibly helpful in every aspect. Becoming a mom has changed my life forever. Some fun facts about me…. I have 7 siblings. I am the third youngest. I used to compete in Olympic weightlifting but have since continued with crossfit. I am the biggest Outlander fan you could meet. Not to be dramatic, but it changed my life. I have a lot of different hobbies and I get so excited when I discover a new one. Audible is most likely my most used app. Cabernet is my choice of wine, especially if it’s paired with a nice bacon cheeseburger. I have been to Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. Scotland is on my bucket list. I love laughing and being silly. If you haven’t met that side of me, just wait. I would call myself an introverted extrovert. It depends on the time of the week and how often I worked. I am so happy when I can spend my day at home wrapped in a blanket, wearing comfy pajamas, coffee mug, & a good tv show or book while cuddling and playing with my baby and dog! If I’m stressed out, I will play worship music or a book and start cooking or baking in my kitchen. On Riley Roots Homestead, you will find me trying to do several things at once. I love spending hours in my garden and in the kitchen. I love figuring out and planning what to create next. Water coloring, scrapbooking, and crafting in general is my escape! Discovering and learning more about natural products medicinal herbs is a huge interest of mine and I am excited to learn more and more. Thanks for being here and I can’t wait to hopefully inspire you to create and dream your dreams for your family.
Meet Andy
Hey there! My name is Andy. Short for Andrew. I am an environmental manager. I majored in natural resources and emergency/environmental management in college. I sheared sheep for about 5 years. Like my wife, I am an avid crossfitter. Working out has always been an important part of my life. It is my favorite stress reliever. Becoming a husband and dad has changed my life. I never thought I would love having a daughter so much. I love the people close to me very deeply. Spending time with family is something we love to do. I have one brother, Aaron. Church is a huge part of my life and my family’s lives. When I have down time, you can find me in my “man cave” tinkering with and organizing things. You will probably find me dry firing and sighting in my scope. When everything is clean and organized, I feel good. I have been to Australia, New Zealand, and various other countries/states. The Office and Andy Griffith are two of my favorite shows. If you asked me to quote something from a random episode on the Office, I could. Being outdoors, hiking, exploring, and boating are some of my favorite hobbies. Vacationing with family is something I always look forward to. On Riley Roots Homestead, you’ll see me working outside, helping my wife with our garden, fishing, helping with animals, and working on what I can within our home. Thanks for reading this and I am looking forward to connect with some of you through this part of our lives.
