Meet Our Family

Nick and Ashley’s journey began at Discovery Church Colorado where they first crossed paths, sparking a beautiful shared life journey with many beautiful memories. “[Picking a] best memory is hard! Our wedding day, our kids’ births, and the everyday are all great memories. We did just recently go on our honeymoon and 4-year anniversary to California which was pretty incredible,” shares Ashley.

“I grew up in Oklahoma and moved out to Colorado in 2012 with Zoey who was almost 2,” explains Ashley, while “Nick is a Colorado native and prefers the springs over any other city on the front range. He loves hiking and camping and our city and surrounding areas are incredible for it!”

As for work, Nick spent several years as a pipe fitter, while Ashley delved into the realms of photo, video, and design work since 2010. Now, the Brunt family runs "Revive Homestead," an online shop specializing in natural tooth powders and other organic products. Their tagline, "rooted in faith, nourished by nature," perfectly encapsulates their commitment to a holistic lifestyle.

"Our little urban homestead is everything to us," Ashley shares. From chickens and gardens to hydroponics, the Brunt family epitomizes the modern homesteading spirit, making as much as possible from scratch and embracing sustainable living.

Beyond their homestead, the Brunt family is involved in their community by volunteering extensively at their church.

Thirteen-year-old Zoey is one fearless teenager. She races go-karts competitively, mainly in Calhan, showcasing her ambitious spirit and love for speed. Beyond the racetrack, Zoey volunteers at her church's kids area, showcasing her heart for service. As a homeschooled student, Zoey is a remarkably talented artist with a passion for science, art, and history. As for their two youngest, “[they are] still at the age of just learning some basics, but they both love pretend play and are very active,” shares Ashley.

The Brunt family extends beyond human members to include two feline companions, Thor and Loki. If you couldn’t tell, the Brunts are big Marvel fans! Counting the 7 clucking companions in their backyard, animals bring a lively atmosphere to the Brunt home.

As for their neighborhood, the Brunts cherish their direct neighbors. "[They’re] incredible. We’ve become very good friends with them,” Ashley shares. The central location of their neighborhood is also a major plus for the Brunt family. "We do love living in the middle of town. Anything you want to do is like 15 minutes away,” Ashley adds. “The Springs may have its issues, but its heart is unmatched.”

The Brunt family has a deep love for travel, and with Revive Homestead as their main "job," they are able to embrace a lifestyle that allows them to explore more. "We travel as much as possible," Ashley enthuses. Their most recent trip up the California coast was one to remember. “It was beautiful!”
