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.

This season has been so jam-packed with school work, doctor’s appointments, and plain old life, that we just haven’t done a lot of Christmas activities. So I’ve been trying to bake some of our traditional recipes over the past few days. My Daddy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are always on the list, though I admit it...
We kind of dropped the ball on all of the fall activities this year. When I write drop the ball, that translates to: we didn’t do anything at all. Between homeschool, lots (and lots and lots) of doctor/therapy appointments, and the home renovation projects, the entire season was here and gone before we knew it. ...
We made our way to DC over the weekend to visit one of our favorites – the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. We’ve been studying astronomy this year in science, so it was the perfect field trip to help tie everything together. Plus, we hadn’t been to DC since before Dumpling came home! In fact,...
