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.

My daughter’s recent science fair project was super fascinating for gardening enthusiasts and wannabe homesteaders. Discovering through research that plants need calcium for basically all processes to develop and grow healthily, she hypothesized that adding eggshells to soil would help plants grow taller. She wasn’t sure if adding crushed up eggshells directly into the soil...
With so many choices of curriculum coupled with learning styles and teaching styles, it can be hard to figure out which way is the best way to homeschool. It’s bad enough that we are bombarded with self-doubt about our decision to teach at home, but the pressure of completing the curriculum so your child can...
I recently started leading a natural health homeschool class with a few moms and their teenage daughters. It’s been such a sweet way to connect in a small group setting during Covid, while also laying the foundation for natural wellness. Though my daughter isn’t participating in the study because of her school course work, she...
