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.

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.

Being within driving distance to DC has its perks. Like expediting passports. Or taking advantage of the homeschool days at some of the coolest historical sites in the US. Yesterday we visited Mt. Vernon with my dad. We did a lot of walking and got the opportunity to learn about our first president. We toured...
I think the Memory Box is originally from Charlotte Mason to memorize scripture, but many Classical Conversations moms have adapted it to work with the CC grammar. I’ve had the idea pinned for … longer than I want to admit. So I finally got it put together just in time before we meet with our...
This is our family’s Classical Conversations Cycle 3 reading list, I hope it’s helpful for other CC mamas out there! As I wrote in my last post, this year will be heavy on reading as we simplify. Our American history studies are the basis for most of our literature picks this year, I am so...
