About Me

I’m a Pacific Northwest girl, raising four incredible kids, along with my dear husband. I write mostly about education, faith and family. 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. And Chariots of Fire is amazing and inspiring. Books - lots of great ones out there I love, including the Bible, Cry the Beloved Country, The Wind in the Willows, Charlotte’s Web, Suite Française, Celebration of Discipline, and Goodnight Moon.

I’m a wife, a mother, a teacher, a daughter, a sister, a friend. Most of all, a child of God. I ponder little life questions such as “what’s the least amount of 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.
