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.

The...

This precious girl celebrates her SIXTH birthday today! She is blossoming into a beautiful young lady and I have the privilege of walking alongside her in this journey of life. She truly is a ray of sunshine and I get to be her mama. Me! I really don’t know what I’d do without this beautiful...
We have a lot more opportunity to learn about our environment now that we live in the country. I’d rather skip over some of the grosser lessons, but it’s all apart of life and my young students so enjoy it. We met the Luna Moth this morning, which we didn’t even know existed! What a...
