About the Host

Britt

I'm a homeschooling mom of four with a 15-year career in the digital tech space and a deep love for learning alongside our kids. My husband and I took the leap into homeschooling during the pandemic and never looked back. What started as a temporary plan for kindergarten has grown into a lifestyle we love, filled with curiosity, creativity, and connection.

We live rurally, spend a lot of time outdoors, and are part of a homeschool co-op where our kids build friendships and community. For us, homeschooling is about maximizing this short season of family life, tailoring education to our kids’ interests, and weaving our Christian values into everyday moments. I’m not here as an expert—but as a fellow parent still figuring it out, one story and one season at a time.
