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.

She always asks to help in the kitchen. She loves to help with anything, actually. She’s an excellent helper, always willing to lend a hand. After the einkorn pizza was in the oven this night, she asked to play with the leftover dough. Of course, I agreed. I love how much she loves to be...
On Mother’s Day, I couldn’t help but reflect on my calling of motherhood. The highest calling of my life thus far. It is the job that I dreamt of as a young girl, one that is now a reality for me every day. Being a mama is better than anything I could have ever imagined....
