Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.
Faith over fear.

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.

Visit our most recent Grown-Up Homeschool Room Makeover HERE! As I see all of the first-day-of-school pictures on my Facebook feed today, it seemed like a good day to share our school room! Especially while it’s all clean and neat. Because it is never this nice looking. Ever. The school room was actually the first...
After 2 months, 70 hours of course work, and over 30 hours of in-person class time, we are officially Empowered to Connect Parent Trainers! It’s been an intense 8 weeks, but our time has been filled with so much learning, engaging, reflecting, and neuron re-wiring. This training has been life changing for us, and we’re...
I will admit that when we first moved to our property, I wasn’t all that excited about the pool. It wasn’t something I was looking for in a new house for many reasons, mostly for safety. I know people will think I’m crazy, but I just felt ambivalent toward it. As the winter months dragged...
