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.

With Lunar New Year quickly approaching, it’s a terrific time to add a few titles to our China library! Especially given that we were just studying a little bit of Chinese history during the Middle Ages, these new titles are perfectly timed. We read through all but the last of these books in the same...
The school year is officially back in session and the schedule is slowly returning to normal after all of the holiday festivities. Although I could have used another week or so, it’s nice to be back on a more regimented routine. Everyone is working hard on their school lessons and I am trying to adjust...
Fridays are typically the “down” day in our homeschool schedule. That usually means pajamas stay on for longer than usual and kids play together quietly. Just kidding, there is no such thing as quiet play in our house ever. Ha! Fridays also usually include me drinking coffee while catching up on whatever has been neglected...
