We are the House of Hendrix, a family of where joy, imperfection, and grace abound. There are 5 of us; Jimmy, myself, Lily, Campbell and Palmer. I’m an outgoing introvert who keeps earplugs in the car because I’m easily overstimulated. My children seem to have more energy, louder voices, and get dirtier than other children. They fight and I raise my voice. We often have pancakes for dinner, and soup for breakfast. Despite my innate craving for order and organization, my house is usually a mess. Even at their most put together moments, my boys still appear disheveled…and I love it!
I have learned my family is not supposed to look like yours and, despite all of our imperfections, we have been blessed with great JOY. It is what I treasure most about our home.
I love to create and am continuously inspired. I believe the thought behind a gift is more important than the gift itself. I like personal touches. I enjoy cookie dough and consequently running. My favorite conversations occur when somebody is vulnerable. I enjoy drinking a glass of wine with a friend, even though I don’t really like wine. Until last year, my sister lived a few doors down and we raised our 7 children together. Her moving rocked my world. I met my husband when I was 12 but fell in love with him after college. When God created him, He made my perfect complement. Together we want to live our life as a beautiful offering to God. We are the House of Hendrix.

Alli – You don’t know me I’m sure but I know who you are from TPS – I somehow saw one of your pins on pinterest today and stumbled across your blog – love it! I was especially moved by your post regarding the scary people at the homeless shelter. Love how you handled yourself and your children and did what was right. I want to have my kids serve people in this capacity and if you have any suggestions of places where kids are welcome to help I would love to hear about it!!
I also started a blog but not keeping it up like I should – life is busy with 3 as you know!!
Hey Lisa. So glad we reconnected. How funny. Just started following your blog in hopes you pick it up again. I’ll email you privately. alli
