Welcome to my little corner of the world.

I’m an author, literacy specialist, mom of four, curriculum developer, forestesteader, homeschool co-op leader, adventurer, National park explorer (39/62!), hiker, rv lifer (we lived and traveled in our RV for 5 years) and paddle boarder who believes that curiosity and courage is found at the beginning of every great story.

I hope you find inspiration here – inspiration to explore, inspiration to chase dreams, inspiration to build businesses, homeschool your kids, make real food, take up hiking, travel solo with your kids in your RV, advocate for your struggling reader – I sincerely hope whatever you find here leads to your creating a meaningful life for your family and that it is the final nudge you needed to get started or keep going.
