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.

Dumpling did such an amazing job at his neuropsychology evaluation last month! He worked incredibly hard! He kept up with the doctor and stuck with all of the tests, even when they were difficult. I think we got a really accurate picture of his strengths and struggles. I agreed wholeheartedly with the diagnoses he received....
At a recent family gathering, I tried to talk my family and friends into drinking kombucha. Again. Ha! I even made a separate batch that was flavored and sweetened with stevia! But it wasn’t met with the enthusiasm I was hoping. Sadly, it’s just not as exciting for everyone else as it is for me. ...
This girl. My girl. We just celebrated her eighth birthday and seven years together as a family. As I write almost every year, I cannot believe how fast the time flies! How she is eight years old, I have no idea?! She is so special and brings me so much joy. She loves big and...
