Empowering Families and Enlivening Homes

Mission:
To Make Brave, Crazy Families

I started this blog with the idea of bettering myself, my family, and my home.

In the process, I help other families in their desire to improve relationships, encourage hard work, feed creativity, and set goals to work toward together. 

I hope to give you the courage to do things differently. To embrace homeschooling, projects, home-cooking, and other pursuits that can bring your family together. 

People often say I’m “Brave” or “Crazy” to be doing what I do at home.

They’re both right.

And my mission is to help you forge a brave, crazy family too.

Who I Am

I’m a happily married mother and teacher to six amazing, crazy, adventurous kids. 

My husband works from home too. 

With 8 of us crammed into one house most days, things can get stressful.

So when things get on edge, we’ve learned to hit a trail, work on a project, or create an adventure together and relationships magically improve. 

Every time.

My mother homeschooled me and my five siblings, so I’m paying it forward. 

I learned the power of working hard together from my cattle-ranching father and of playing together from my outdoorsy, fun-loving mother.

For my family and yours, I’m seeking the perfect fusion of love of learning, hard work, and adventurous play.

Let’s get started…
