We are wild things, you and I – raising wild one’s of our own. This means that we need to carefully tend to what God has given us… Living an authentic, integrated life is possible, but not automatic. It must be cultivated. We only have a few short years to live life together, worship together and learn together before these offshoots of ours blossom into adulthood.
When God infuses all of life, it brings meaning, continuity and JOY to all of our pursuits. It is a delight to experience this growing process together, knowing that we are preparing them to seek God and His calling in everything they do as they move out to impact their own families and culture one day.
My goal is to celebrate, encourage and equip parents in the pursuit of intentional parenting, inspired learning, and integrated living so that we can raise world changers who passionately love God, love others, and delight in the adventure of learning.
My core values and philosophy – and how they affect my life – are explained in the following pages where I lay out the importance of how to Cultivate Christ, Cultivate Learning and Cultivate Culture.

Want to meet my family? Oh where do I start??? I met my husband, Rich in college and easily convinced him to stay in the Arizona desert. We are opposites in many areas, but not when it comes to games. We are both fiercely competitive and he enjoys beating me at any and every strategy game I’ll play with him. {A few of our obsessions include Settlers of Catan and Dominion.} We love the new season we are finding ourselves in with family game nights since our kids branched out beyond Candy Land and Sorry. Woot!
We have 3 boys – all delightfully different, but very full of energy. Xander (16) is our friendly, verbal one. I was afraid that having boys meant I’d live in silence. Xander proved that theory false. Keegan (14) on the other hand is the strong, silent type. His strong-will has brought me to my knees more times than I can count. Watching God work in his life has been a beautiful thing to behold. Treyton (12) is the family clown. He actually has a sense of humor {did not get that from me} and keeps us in stitches. It is a busy, loud house – full of life and vigor. God gave us a sweet little girl, Greta (8), to help tame things a bit. She lights up our home and helps us all get in touch with our sweet, sentimental side! He wasn’t done blessing us and gave us a bonus surprise, Tierza who joined our family in 2020.
We are on a mission to cultivate a rich family life that will prepare and equip our children for whatever God has in store for each of them. We can’t wait to share the adventures and encourage others along the way.
