About Me
Welcome! If you are on this page, it is likely you already know me. Nevertheless, I’ll bore you with an introduction. I am Emily. I spend my days balancing the joys and challenges of caring for four children, ranging in age from seven years old to almost three. I homeschool our children and get to tend to a small variety of farmette animals. In warmer months I find new ways to kill a garden that I would like to survive and flourish. Someday I will run out of ways and it will eventually live. Jonah, my kind, patient, hardworking and detailed orientated husband, is a brave soul who is willing to go above and beyond. I work outside the home part time using my skills as a speech-language therapist serving a local school district. At my center, I am a Christ-follower and very thankful for his “ever present help in trouble”. (Psalm 46)
