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.

It falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month (in September or October) when the moon is bright and full...
I will not pretend or try to convince anyone that our days are filled with storybook moments. In fact, most of the time, I’m settling arguments, hugging injured children, wiping messes off the floor, trying to get schoolwork complete, doing laundry, crossing bullet items off the never-ending to-do list, or just sneaking a piece of...
