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.

In our current homeschool studies of Ancient Egypt, we’ve been talking about how historians are able to know so much about the people and customs of that time. We’ve discussed how the translations of hieroglyphs and the discoveries of buried artifacts have allowed them to put a picture together of what life was like. It’s...
Received our #OhHappyDay tees in the mail the other day, which definitely meant I needed to snap a few pictures in the field. I love these shirts especially because we were able to meet and love on the precious boy who inspired them. Can’t wait to see him come home to his family!
I recently received my beautiful Creative Conversations with the Creator package from Kelly. It’s a guided prayer kit designed to bring you deeper into conversation with the Lord for the fatherless. All of the pieces in the kit are just gorgeous, and it’s been fun to work through it. The activities forced me out of...
