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 herbal remedies 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.

We officially started our seventh year of homeschooling today! It seems crazy to think about it being our SEVENTH YEAR, but the numbers don’t lie. We’re pretty sure it was our first rainy start day though – we’ve had so much rain and Hurricane Florence hasn’t even made her way to us yet. At least...
I can hardly believe that it’s back to school time! Even though homeschool officially begins next week, I am 6 weeks into my holistic health coach training at IIN. My studies have been truly fascinating and eye opening thus far, and I grow more in love with the field of holistic health coaching with each...
I love Jesus, and I am very far from perfect. I met my husband when I was only 17. We basically grew up together and I absolutely adore him. I’m really an introvert, but I do love my favorite people. I love my children immensely, and being a mama is my greatest earthly job. It’s...
