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.

When we decided to enroll (most of) our kids in traditional school, one of the first thoughts I had was … oh no, I have to make school lunches! Maybe this isn’t a surprise to you, but yes, I seriously spent a lot of time thinking about this. Though the schools do have some bought-lunch...
I alluded to the fact that my family had some exciting transitions to anticipate for 2020 in a recent blog post. We are officially closing the book on a big part of our lives as we begin to write the first chapter in a new one. Today marks the beginning of a tremendous shift for...
The last ten years have gone by in the blink of an eye, but lots happened in those 3,652 days. When I think back to all that’s changed, I realize that a decade truly is quite a lot of time! In 2010, I was a young 30-year-old wife and mama of two kiddos. My world...
