Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not homeschooling my favorite students, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use herbs and essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.

I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Solar Eclipsing 2017

August 21, 2017

The Solar Eclipse was SO COOL! I’m so glad we were able to snag some glasses so we could all experience the amazing sight! We watched it slowly build to the peek of about 80%. We unfortunately didn’t get to witness a total eclipse, but the weather cooperated long enough for us to at least see the partial here on the east coast. Such a fun thing to experience! Especially with one of our science focuses being astronomy this school year, the eclipse is a perfect way to kick off the new school year!
