About Me:

Welcome!

What a real joy and privilege it is to walk alongside each of you during this exciting journey of discipling and educating your children at home! I treasure your hearts for your children and love hearing your stories. As a HomeWorks by Precept consultant, it fills my heart to be able to help you with your homeschool questions, help you develop practical solutions, lend a shoulder, and join beside you in prayer. Let’s walk this journey . . . together!

Homeschooling is a privilege and a blessing!  
It can also be a challenge! 

Do you have infants or toddlers in your home?
Do you work outside your home or run a home-based business? 
Are you homeschooling high school students? 
Do you teach multiple children with multiple learning styles?  
Do you teach a child who experiences a specific learning difficulty? 
Do you face health issues or care for others in need of assistance?  

 
I have faced these same challenges during my homeschool journey.
Knowing that you have support and someone to share your experiences with can be helpful. 

I have 5 children and have been using the BJU Press Homeschool curriculum for over 11 years. Utilizing a combination of the BJU Press Homeschool Video Courses and parent-led learning affords me time with each of my children. I can address any needs that arise while still maintaining confidence that my children are getting a well-rounded solid biblically based education that will prepare them for whatever God calls them to. 

Along with homeschooling my children, I create and present helpful homeschool workshops. I also delight in helping others on their homeschool journeys through my writing. You can find my writing in blog posts, the HomeWorks by Precept book titled Just Like You: A Collection of Homeschool Journeys, and the book below:

Help your children develop their own personal relationship with God, their knowledge of God, and understanding of His world.
 

Help your children grow to understand the importance of pairing their knowledge and understanding with compassion and their God given gifts to serve and show love for others. Watch their compassion grow as well as their willingness to serve others as God guides them.

Be confident that your children will be equipped to do whatever God calls them to. BJU Press is a well-rounded curriculum that prepares your children for college or other future endeavors.

BJU Press Homeschool curriculum is created for different learning styles and I love that I can tailor the curriculum to my children’s needs and the way they learn best. I have even been able to adapt it for my child who has specific learning difficulties due to a missing chromosome. 

Since this curriculum has been such a blessing to our family, I am thankful I can help you save, maximize your benefits, and enjoy BJU Press Homeschool curriculum in your family!
