Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

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 herbs 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.

Claritas Cycle 2 Reading List

This coming school year will be our sixth as a homeschool family!  We’ll be using Claritas Classical Academy’s Cycle 2 memory work as the backbone for most of our studies.  As usual, I’ve put a reading list together to correspond with our history memory work.  Also, I’ve included a list of books to compliment our...

Claritas | a CC Alternative

I’ve had several recent emails asking about our experience with Claritas Classical Curricula memory work for our homeschool studies, so it seemed like a good time to review it on the blog.  Especially now that we’ve been using it for a year and a half, I feel like I can offer my perspective to hopefully...

Bridges Classical Community Week 2

We had another successful week of Bridges Classical Community!  The children continue to impress me with how well they get along and encourage each other.  We really have an exceptional group.  They work together as a team to learn the new memory work, and complete all of their tasks with only a little silliness.  And...
