About Us!

Hello, I'm Crystal!

Hi, I am Crystal, a Christian homeschooling mom passionate
about living out my faith in the everyday moments of motherhood and home life. I’ve been so blessed to stay at home with my children, and my heart desires to support and encourage other stay-at-home moms to live out their Christian values in their daily lives. I believe that raising our children and managing our homes can be acts of worship when we do them with love and intention. My goal is to help other Christian moms find joy in the little things, grow their faith, and manage their homes purposefully. I share tips on homeschooling, faith-filled parenting, home management, and living intentionally as a Christian woman. I’m blessed to be married to my wonderful husband, Jarred, and we’re raising our two children, Braxton and Rose. When I am not writing, you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee or tea, reading my Bible, crafting, working to create our five-acre homestead, or chasing my kids around the house.
I love connecting with other moms and sharing this beautiful, sometimes messy, journey of motherhood.

Hi, I'm Alli!

I am the mom of two college girls, Julie Anna and Jorgia, and one boy, Jonathan, who has graduated and is working. With my wonderful husband's support, I could stay home and be their Learning Coach for 12 years while they completed school through Connections Academy. I stopped working when Jonathan was 14 months old. Being a SAHM was a blessing, but not without its challenges. For years, I have dreamed of creating a community for SAHMs and those who homeschool to be encouraged, lifted, and heard.

Here are a few fun facts about me.

1. I recently returned to work as a middle school special education teacher assistant, so I am still a learning coach!

2. I was blessed with patience, sometimes too much, but my family is grateful. LOL

3. I am known as more of a "Grizzly Mama Bear."

4. Camping is my therapy.

5. Growing up, I dreamed of living in a big city, but I prefer having woods, a big yard, and being part of a small town (20 minutes up the road).

6. My children think I am funny when I get mad. I remind them of the mouse from 'Tom and Jerry' when he gets angry.

7. Being creative brings me joy.

8. I love visiting new places.

9. I am so thankful for the invention of music streaming because I listen to all kinds of music. Sometimes, I wonder if I confuse Spotify!

10. One of my favorite things to do is photograph nature and take black and white candids of people.

Hope Anchored Life.
