Hey there! I’m Wintre-Renee (yes, Winter like the season!)

I’m so excited to finally bring this blog to life—one that’s been budding in my heart for quite some time. Roots of Reflection is more than a space to talk about my plants (though you’ll definitely see a lot of green here 🌿); it’s a place where I can share everything that shapes my life—my family, my personal growth, my mental health journey, my spiritual path, and my career transition.

A Little About Me

I’ll be turning 40 this January—hard to believe, but I’m embracing every year with gratitude and growth. I’m married to Tre, my favorite love, my partner in this beautiful, busy chaos we call life. Together, we’ve created a blended family full of laughter, love, and plenty of adventure:

  • Ayden (16): My oldest and growing up way too fast.

  • Charli (5): My spirited little one who keeps me on my toes.

  • Xavier (9): Tre’s amazing son, the perfect big brother.

  • Alivia (5): Sweet and energetic—she and Charli make quite the duo!

  • Autumn (15 months): The final piece to our family puzzle.

Oh, and did I mention our pets and my 90+ houseplants? Yes, our home is full of life in every corner!

My Roots: Career, Family, and Transition

For over 20 years, I’ve been active-duty Army—since July 2004. Serving has shaped me in ways I never could have imagined. But here’s the thing: I’m nearing retirement, set for December 2025, and the thought of transitioning into this new chapter is nerve-wracking. I’m not afraid to admit it—it’s probably the scariest thing I’ve ever faced.

One day at a time, I’m learning to trust the process. Roots of Reflection will be my space to share this transition, the anxiety and growth that comes with it, and the lessons I hope to take with me.

Why Roots of Reflection?

I chose this name because I truly believe our roots—the parts of our lives that nourish and ground us—are a reflection of who we are. Whether it’s our family, our passions, our plants, or our personal journeys, these roots can either help us flourish and thrive or leave us struggling.

I want this blog to be:

  • A place of growth and guidance.

  • A place where we embrace both the beauty and the messiness of life.

  • A space where I can share reflections on motherhood, plants, career changes, and everything in between.

What to Expect Here

Here’s what you’ll find on Roots of Reflection:

  • Plant Love: Tips, tricks, and stories about my 90+ houseplants.

  • Family Life: The joys and challenges of raising a big, blended family.

  • Mental & Spiritual Growth: My reflections on mindfulness, journaling, and navigating life’s transitions.

  • Career Reflections: My journey from the Army to a new chapter.

I hope this blog becomes a space where you feel inspired, supported, and connected. Let’s grow together—one reflection, one plant, one moment at a time. 🌱

Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

Let me know in the comments: What’s something you’re growing in your life right now?

With love and growth,
