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 teaching fine arts to my favorite upper school students at our incredible classical Christian school, 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 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.

We’re pretty sure it was our first rainy start day though – we’ve had so much rain and Hurricane Florence hasn’t even made her way to us yet. At least...
This reading list will wrap up all four of the Claritas cycles! I’m so excited to have all 4 reading lists completed, but also a bit shocked that we’re coming up on our fourth year with Claritas! Where does the time go?! This list correlates to Story of the World, Volume 3. We’ll be studying...
We made our way to DC over the weekend to visit one of our favorites – the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. We’ve been studying astronomy this year in science, so it was the perfect field trip to help tie everything together. Plus, we hadn’t been to DC since before Dumpling came home! In fact,...
It’s always a little (super crazy) hectic getting out of the house on our first community day, but we did it and I didn’t even forget anything! I think today was a smashing success! It was so wonderful to see our old friends, as well as meet and get to know new ones. And the...
