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 recently started leading a natural health homeschool class with a few moms and their teenage daughters. It’s been such a sweet way to connect in a small group setting during Covid, while also laying the foundation for natural wellness. Though my daughter isn’t participating in the study because of her school course work, she...
It’s probably no surprise that an estimated 96.8% of American households own a microwave. What may be surprising, however, is that they may pose several health risks. Though it’s not widely discussed, research suggests two main concerns – EMF exposure and nutritional deficiencies. My purpose is not to condemn microwaves, as they certainly have their...
