We must give children the means of doing things for themselves. They should learn to care for their own needs and to think out their own ways of doing things.

About Me

  • A woman with long brown hair and bangs taking a selfie outdoors. She is smiling and sitting on a cushioned chair behind a wire fence. Behind her is a backyard with green grass, plants, a trampoline, a wooden play structure, and a shed.

    Background

    As a Christian homeschool mom, foster parent, and educator, I’m passionate about equipping kids to live with purpose, integrity, and confidence. I’ve taught in public schools, run co-ops, fostered ten young children, and homeschooled my own across three states—with a fourth move on the horizon. Whether through Shakespeare, writing, or daily life skills, I love helping families create meaningful learning that sticks.
