behind the blog

How it all began

For more than 15 years, I worked in education while building creative and marketing skills behind the scenes through website design, social media campaigns, and client strategy work. After losing my mom in 2021, I decided to bet on myself more fully, refine my platform, and build a personal brand rooted in storytelling, family life, homeschooling, and service. What started as a quiet creative pull has grown into a meaningful business and a trusted space for moms, families, and women building something of their own.

A few of the questions I get most often are about homeschooling, content creation, business, and working together.

Our homeschooling journey began when we decided to pull our kids out of private school mid‑year. It was a big shift, but when that environment no longer fit our family, we trusted our instincts, hit the ground running, and never looked back. Homeschooling has become one of the greatest gifts in our home.

We use a wide variety of curricula because each of our six children learns differently. Some of our favorites include Good and the Beautiful, Notgrass, Masterbooks, Apologia, Essentials in Writing, Fix It Grammar, High School Math Live Online, IXL, and Typsey. We adjust our curriculum choices every year based on our children’s academic needs, strengths, and learning styles.
