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.
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.

It can be so easy for me to take for granted the sweet, simple moments of daily living. Just trying to keep up with life and the never-ending to-do lists can sometimes make it impossible to slow down to see them. But when I find some (or occasionally, all) of the children playing so well...
I started experimenting with einkorn flour baking a few months ago, but I hadn’t heard much about it up until then. I still haven’t perfected the science, but I do love it for so many reasons! What’s all the fuss about? Einkorn is the first, most ancient form of wheat. It’s older than even spelt...
This coming school year will be our sixth as a homeschool family! We’ll be using Claritas Classical Academy’s Cycle 2 memory work as the backbone for most of our studies. As usual, I’ve put a reading list together to correspond with our history memory work. Also, I’ve included a list of books to compliment our...
