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.

Everyone had a blast, including Lovebug, who...
He’s been waiting for months to start guitar lessons, ever since he told us he wanted to be “up on stage at church.” We asked what kind of instrument he wanted to learn, and he quickly settled on guitar. I was elated because we don’t have a guitarist in the family, and I just love...
We had our first day of homeschool on Monday! We started off with our first community day at Bridges, the new classical group that we spent the last half of the summer planning. It went so well that all of the children have been talking about it non-stop. They cannot wait to go back! We...
After almost a year, with a lot of hard stuff thrown in, DH and I finally got out for a DATE last weekend! Without children! It was so special to be out together ALONE! We shared a delicious uninterrupted dinner, and then took a peaceful walk on the beach while our toes got splashed by...
