From Soil to Soul
What Our Story Is Really About
We have a real passion for growing things.
All kinds of things.
We grow babies.
We grow plants.
We grow ideas and businesses.
And whatever else the Lord places in our hands and hearts,
we grow it together.
Our favorite thing of all to grow as a family is love.
Our name reflects our mission
We’re here to grow God’s family and nurture God’s love, because His love is patient and pure, merciful and true. It starts in our home, grows in our hearts, and flows outward to bless others for His glory.
We love him, because he first loved us. ~ 1 John 4:19

A little about our family
We’ve been inseparable since 1999 when we met and were married in just 3 short months. Since then, God has blessed us with 8 children: 6 beautiful children on earth, including baby boy who arrived December 2016 and baby boy who arrived in 2021 during mama’s TBI, and 2 sweet angels in heaven! We are devoted to our exciting, growing, beautiful family life full of love.
In 2015, we started this blog to share our blessing-filled life with family, friends, customers and others who want to see into our amazing world. Over time, this blog became a place to share our family stories, our home life, our faith, and the love God keeps growing in our lives. It can be messy at times, but it is also so much fun, especially when we see what we can accomplish together. We love sharing God’s love, most of all.

We also share about our family’s journey through traumatic brain injury, healing, prayer, and the many ways God has carried us through hard seasons. Through it all, He has been faithful.
Follow Grow Family Love on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and X.
Take a look around, and if something encourages you, we would love to hear from you.
As our story continues, we are thankful for every prayer, every answered prayer, every hard season God has carried us through, and every little miracle He keeps growing along the way.
Thanks for checking out our family blog! Welcome to our journey!
Blessings and love from our family to yours,
❤️ Norm, Heidi, Merci, Graci, Noah, Nehemiah, Nazareth, and Neziah Olsen
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
