Hi, there! Welcome to the niners club!

Welcome to Nine & Thyme.

I’m a wife, mother of three, entrepreneur, athlete mentor, former sports agent, homesteader at heart, and believer that life is meant to be lived fully. I split my time between Maine and Florida with my husband Ronnie, our children, and our ever-growing collection of dreams, projects, and adventures.

Together, Ronnie and I train and mentor athletes through The 606 Factory. Ronnie is a retired professional motocross racer who spent 17 years competing at the highest levels of the sport. Today, we help athletes and families navigate not only riding and performance, but the mindset, discipline, nutrition, business skills, and personal development that create success both on and off the track.

But before any of that, I was simply a girl from Maine with big dreams.

Years ago, I met Ronnie while building a career in sports management. We immediately connected through our shared passion for sports, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and creating a life that looked a little different from the traditional path. Before long, I made one of the biggest leaps of faith of my life.

I left the security of my career, packed up everything I owned, sold my truck, and joined Ronnie on the road. Together we built our own motocross team from the ground up and spent years traveling the country, chasing a dream that many people thought was impossible.

Those years taught us resilience, sacrifice, grit, faith, and what it means to bet on yourself. We learned how to build a business from nothing, adapt when plans changed, and find joy in the journey even when the destination felt far away.

Today, our life looks different, but the heart behind it remains the same.

Our days are filled with raising our three children, homeschooling, mentoring athletes, building businesses, family dinners around the table, travel between Maine and Florida, and slowly creating the kind of home and life we’ve always envisioned. Some days are beautifully organized. Most are beautifully messy.

And honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

One of the greatest lessons motherhood has taught me is that I never had to choose.

For years, I believed there would come a day when I would have to decide between building a meaningful career and being the kind of mother I wanted to be. The world often makes women feel as though ambition and family are competing priorities. That pursuing one means sacrificing the other.

But motherhood has shown me something entirely different.

It hasn’t limited me. It has expanded me.

It has challenged me to grow, strengthened my purpose, deepened my faith, and given me a greater understanding of what truly matters. Becoming a mother didn’t cause me to lose myself. In many ways, it helped me find myself.

The dreams I had before children still matter. The businesses I want to build still matter. The goals I have for our family still matter. But now they’re connected to something even bigger than myself.

I want my children to grow up seeing what is possible when you pursue your passions, serve others, work hard, and build a life aligned with your values. I want them to know they don’t have to choose between family and purpose, either.

That’s why you’ll often hear me say that I believe women can have both.

Not necessarily all at once. Not perfectly. Not without sacrifice, hard work, or seasons of adjustment.

But we can build thriving families while pursuing meaningful work. We can raise children while growing businesses. We can create beautiful homes while chasing big dreams. We can be nurturing and ambitious. Present and driven. Soft and strong.

The goal isn’t having it all perfectly.

The goal is creating a life that feels whole.

That’s really what Nine & Thyme is all about.

This space is where all of my passions meet. Motherhood. Entrepreneurship. Homemaking. Homesteading. Wellness. Personal growth. Family traditions. Athlete development. Travel. Building businesses. Building a home. Building a life.

You’ll find stories from our family’s journey, lessons learned through both success and struggle, practical ideas, encouragement, and reminders that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

The name Nine & Thyme was inspired by a lesson I’ve spent years learning. I’ve always been someone who strives for excellence, but perfection can often keep us from starting. Over time, I’ve learned that life isn’t about being a perfect ten. Sometimes it’s about being a nine. Showing up. Taking action. Growing through the process. Giving yourself grace while still pursuing greatness.

And just like thyme, one of my favorite herbs, growth happens slowly. It’s cultivated over time, season by season, often in ways we don’t immediately notice.

My hope is that when you visit this space, you leave feeling encouraged to embrace your own journey, trust the timing of your life, gather your loved ones around the table, pursue the dreams on your heart, and create a life that feels authentic to you.

Thank you for being here.

I’m so glad you found us.
