I’m a homeschooling mom of four children. I never planned to homeschool, but the unexpected blessing of the process has been one of the most fulfilling and life-giving choices for my family. I have a passion for adding literature to our studies to help bring engaging stories into learning each day. In the process, I have been thrilled to realize how much my own education has grown, and how these stories have truly produced a desire to learn for both my children and me.

Whether it’s history, science, language arts, or even math at times, living books have become a foundational piece to learning in our home. The blessing of learning alongside my children in this way has been quite the change from teaching in the elementary classroom prior to homeschooling. Now, as I learn more about how stories can impact a lesson, I enjoy developing curriculum to help other families do the same.
