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.
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.

It was another long day for us, but we arrived safely in Guangzhou this evening. The flight was uneventful and Sunshine slept for a good portion of the ride. We did get over to the Beijing Pearl Market before leaving though, what a treat it was to share that with the kids! They had a...
We arrived in Beijing last night! The plane ride over was uneventful and the kids really rocked the whole adventure! We fought to stay up past 7pm, but jet lag won shortly after that. It worked out well though, because we were up bright and early for some Beijing sightseeing. We started with the Great...
Ok, everything is ready to go! 15 packed bags. We are going to China with 3 children and coming home with 4. In five days, the precious boy we’ve been praying for during these last nine months will be our son. I just feel overwhelmed by His goodness! Now to go relax with a glass...
