The Gathered Kind

I’ve had this vision tugging at my heart for years.

A space to gather it all.
The motherhood. The marriage. The mess. The mission.
A place that doesn’t separate the holy from the hard… but sees the beauty in both.

Welcome to The Gathered Kind.
This is the beginning of something sacred.

My name’s Tamara—
A small-town girl with big dreams, a loud house full of boys, a blue-collar husband who works long hours, and a whole lot of fire to build something that outlives me.

I’ve never had it “figured out.”
But I have figured out how to keep going when it’s hard.
How to start over when you’re broke, tired, or buried under laundry.
How to follow God’s whisper when it doesn’t make sense on paper.
And how to keep believing in more—even in the in-between.

This blog is for the mamas like me:
The ones doing it real.
The ones doing it messy.
The ones who want to build a legacy but don’t know where to start.
The ones who are tired of filtering their lives for social media but still want to be seen.
The ones who’ve traded hustle for intention, but still carry dreams that keep them up at night.

Here’s what you’ll find inside The Gathered Kind:

• 💛 Honest homeschool days (no sugar-coating, just grace and growth)
• 💼 Work-from-home wisdom (how I make money online without selling my soul or bugging my family)
• 🔨 Blue-collar wife life (the hard stuff, the heart stuff, and the humor)
• 🧠 Healing & faith-fueled growth (because breaking generational patterns takes guts)
• 🧃 Recipes, routines, real-life revival (yes, we’ll talk snacks too)
• ✍️ My writing journey (including sneak peeks of the book I’m working on)

If you’ve ever felt like:

“I’m meant for more… but I’m drowning in laundry.”
“I want to work from home… but I don’t know where to start.”
“I love my family… but I miss me.”

You’re in the right place.

This isn’t a highlight reel—it’s a home base.
A blog for the moms in the middle of the story.
The ones building a kind of life that doesn’t always make sense to the world… but feels like treasure to their soul.

The Gathered Kind isn’t just our blog name.
It’s our heartbeat.

We are:

• The ones who gather people with kindness, not perfection.
• The ones who gather our courage again and again.
• The ones who gather our pieces and say, “This still matters.”

So pull up a chair.
Come as you are.
Let’s talk life, business, motherhood, and revival.

This is your invitation to belong—even if you’re still figuring it all out.
I sure am. But I’m done waiting for perfect timing.
This is the beginning of our legacy. And you’re part of it now.

With love and grit,
Tamara
The Gathered Kind
