About Me

I’m a Pacific Northwest girl, raising four incredible kids, along with my dear husband. I write about education, in particular, homeschooling, and also faith and family. I throw in occasional politics in case the rest is too boring. My favorite movie is The Inn of the Sixth Happiness with Ingrid Bergman; I also love Jimmy Stewart movies, especially Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I’m a former public school teacher turned homeschool mom. Along with my own little school, I juggle running a business and running a household. I ponder little life questions such as “how little sleep can I get by on” and “why is the coffee pot dripping grounds into the carafe.” And big life questions such as “God.”

Blog Format: Each month, I choose a topic and write four feature articles on that subject, publishing usually on Sundays. At the right, you can see the titles of my four features along with the publish date. In between my features, I post the usually mix of life, faith, and family. If you have suggestions for upcoming features, please drop me a comment.
