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.

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.

Two Fridays ago, my brothers and I attended the sporting clay shooting event that my dad went to every year after Christmas. This isn’t an event I would normally attend because … well honestly I am more of a coffee by the fire kind-of-girl. I love shooting but the cold is not something I typically...
This handsome man is my Daddy. We’ve shared the same birthday for 34 beautiful years. He was one of my best friends. He was always there for me whenever I needed him, no matter what. He loved sacrificially. I learned about Jesus’ unconditional love because of the way he loved me and everyone around him....
He’s been in our arms for one month, so crazy! The time has flown by in many ways, but also kind of slowed down in others. Just finished up his adoption story movie, including video clips of first meeting him, when we were in China, and our homecoming. I love being able to celebrate his...
