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.

The kids recently found the sweetest little box turtle on the property! We still haven’t agreed on a name, but we made her (we think she’s a “she”) a temporary habitat so we can get to know her. We plan on letting her go soon, but we’re going to keep the habitat in case we...
If I haven’t shared how much I am in love with living in the country, let me be clear that I LOVE living in the country. This move was simply the right fit for our family and we’ve enjoyed everything that comes along with the change. We’ve discovered a whole world that we knew existed,...
We found these two cuties out by the pool this morning. They were completely gray, giving them the appearance of being dead! We’ve had toads and other outdoor friends succumb to the saltwater of the pool, so it’s somewhat expected to discover creatures floating in the water. Turns out, they were actually just resting. The...
We have a lot more opportunity to learn about our environment now that we live in the country. I’d rather skip over some of the grosser lessons, but it’s all apart of life and my young students so enjoy it. We met the Luna Moth this morning, which we didn’t even know existed! What a...
