Ephesians 2:8-10
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.

Another tiny curve ball got thrown into my homeschool planning – we decided to switch memory work cycles a month and a half before our first day. Crazy I know, but it made the most sense for the group. Fortunately I hadn’t gotten very far into planning Cycle 1, but that did mean I needed...
It seems like every time we take one of these group pictures, we are waiting on a new child to join one of our families. This summer is no exception! Our sweet friends will soon be welcoming home another little guy from China. We are all anxiously awaiting his arrival, hopefully by the end of...
