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.

I alluded to the fact that my family had some exciting transitions to anticipate for 2020 in a recent blog post. We are officially closing the book on a big part of our lives as we begin to write the first chapter in a new one. Today marks the beginning of a tremendous shift for...
It’s our 8th year, friends! I cannot believe it. What started as a “we’ll take it one year at a time” venture has morphed into a way of life for which I am truly grateful. I absolutely adore the homeschooling lifestyle. Though some days I selfishly wouldn’t mind if I had the house to myself,...
Creating beautiful spaces is definitely a form of self-care for me. I don’t thrive in cluttered surroundings at all. My eyes dart from one thing to the next, observing all of the areas that need to be organized and put away. Chaos in my living spaces makes me anxious and doesn’t set me up for...
