Welcome! My name is Mary-Ann. I’m a wife to David and a mom to three beautiful girls. Books are one of my passions. I have a B.A. in English and several college-level writing classes under my belt. Once upon a time, I even worked for a few years as an editor at a publishing company. That was a lifetime ago though. Now, I’m a stay-at-home mom who drinks copious amounts of coffee and reads stacks of storybooks out loud.

We’re homeschoolers. Not the weird kind though, honest. (Okay, maybe a little.) I’m passionate about home education, particularly when it comes to living books.

We’re also nature lovers. We love hiking, paddling and exploring the beauty of creation.

In this little corner of the web, I write about faith, family, nature and homeschooling. These are my passions.

This blog is my story. The nice parts and the messy parts. And all the grace-filled parts.
