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’ve made these Sourdough Einkorn Crepes several times now and they’re a serious winner in my house. They offer an unusual yumminess with the sourness from the fermentation, and I like that the overnight proofing process eats a lot of the sugar and digests some of the gluten. They’re a nice deviation from our normal...
We live in a society of information overload, at a time when everyone seems to have a strong opinion about what is the healthiest, most nourishing diet. I’ve shared before about how confusing it can be to figure out what we’re supposed to eat. But the truth is, it’s pretty simple. By using whole foods...
This current school season has ushered in so many activities and sports events, I actually cannot believe how busy we’ve been given all of this Covid mess! Truly thankful, though, for the opportunity and privilege to keep my kiddos active with social groups and sports teams. They need it so badly. What a gift! Of...
