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 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.

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...

Back to our Chinese studies

After quite a sabbatical, we finally started back to Chinese lessons with our favorite lǎo shī, Mei!  We are meeting in her apartment in the city for lessons, which is great for me because I get to cuddle her sweet new bundle of sugar, spice, and everything nice.  Everyone had a blast, including Lovebug, who...

The budding guitarist

He’s been waiting for months to start guitar lessons, ever since he told us he wanted to be “up on stage at church.”  We asked what kind of instrument he wanted to learn, and he quickly settled on guitar.  I was elated because we don’t have a guitarist in the family, and I just love...
