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.

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.

This season has been so jam-packed with school work, doctor’s appointments, and plain old life, that we just haven’t done a lot of Christmas activities. So I’ve been trying to bake some of our traditional recipes over the past few days. My Daddy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are always on the list, though I admit it...
Well, we’ve officially seen our third snow of the season. It’s still not winter yet. This most recent one was supposed to be a “light 1-inch dusting.” Humph. It covered everything. Though I do think snow truly is quite beautiful and glorious and peaceful, I’m sort of ready for it to be finished now. Except...
The first snow fall came early this year! It was so beautiful, and I loved seeing the blanket of soft, fluffy whiteness cover everything. Now that all of the leaves have fallen and everything looks sort of desolate, the bright white snow was a welcome sight. The views were simply magnificent. The chickens, however, were...
