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.

We recently received a new blend in our wellness box, though, and...

The juggling act of schooling multiple ages

Continuing with the homeschooling posts, I’m seeing lots and lots of questions online about how parents homeschool children of multiple ages.  While I don’t have all the answers and our homeschool habits are far from perfect, I wanted to share what generally works for our family.  My hope is that maybe readers can adapt some...

A Classical Christian Homeschooler’s Favorites

It’s no surprise that there’s been a huge influx of inquiries on the homeschool groups as families weigh their schooling options for the fall. Quarantine and social distancing requirements have really thrown a monkey wrench into education planning, and I totally get it! As I field a lot of the same questions over and over,...

2020-2021 Curriculum Choices

Well, Covid-19 sure has made schooling decisions unique this summer!  It’s been quite the journey trying to discern what to do for the upcoming school year, but we’ve ultimately decided on homeschooling again for our youngest three children.  It’ll be our ninth year! Though the kids enjoyed their very short stint with traditional school, they...
