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.

My love affair with einkorn flour continues. We are obsessed with the delicious, healthy, wonderfully scrumptious einkorn banana bread. I bake it often. The house smells lovely while it’s in the oven. In fact, everyone who walks into the house while it’s baking wants to know what the delicious smell is. A couple of the...
I’m in the thick of homeschool planning for our third year with Claritas memory work, so it seemed like a perfect time to update the blog’s memory work box post! This isn’t an idea unique to me. It is adapted from the Charlotte Mason scripture memorization system. This method is a fantastic way to systematically...
I adore Black-Eyed Susans and have been so thrilled to see them return this year. I watched the leaves shoot up from the ground and get tall, but seeing the stunning black and yellow flowers come to life has been the best part. They are planted in several places, and I think they add so...
