About

I have worked hard to get my act together in this homeschooling venture and have felt a calling to share my story and resources with others. My hope is that Loft & Field can be a place where homeschoolers can come together to support, study, live, and learn. It’s a cottage school. It’s a living books library. It’s a farm. It’s a study group for Charlotte Mason aficionados. It’s a place to organize more things like nature walks, art workshops, interesting classes, or other things that would benefit us or our kids.

It has always resounded deep within me, that life is a very serious thing. So from the point in my life when I first was considering having children, I have always endeavored to be intentional. To be consistently intentional in life is a struggle because life is also filled with unpredictable chaos. A quote from Charlotte Mason highlights that balance of chaos versus control. “No other part of the world’s work is of such supreme difficulty, delicacy and importance, as that of parents in the right bringing up of their children.”

I have been homeschooling for several years. Two of my three children have now graduated. This journey of homeschooling and educating children has brought many life lessons, seasons of growth, and wonderful blessings. My heart is for children and to walk alongside them in their education journey. I enjoy working on cars with my husband, camping with my kiddos, cuddling my fur babies, and have a love for learning. I look forward to working with you and your student.

Hello! I am excited to partner with your family in your continued pursuit of education as a science of relations. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I am dedicated to nurturing the hearts and minds of students through a living, faith-centered education. Guided by the Charlotte Mason philosophy, I aim to make my classes a place of rich ideas, deep conversations, and joyful discovery. Together, we will look at education not just as the sharing of facts, but as the discipline of training the soul. I hold a degree in music performance and bring a deep love of the arts and humanities, shaped by extended collegiate studies in English literature and my time as a worship minister in a local church to my work. Whether we are exploring the beauty and wonder of God's creation through music or engaging in thoughtful, respectful debates in our Owls discussions, I want to inspire your children to love what is good, true, and beautiful. I look forward to a wonderful year of growth and fellowship!"

I’ve been homeschooling my boys for 18 years, and science is by far my favorite subject to teach. I love hands-on learning and believe the best classroom is often outside. Some of my favorite adventures include hiking in the Andes, planting pineapples in the Amazon, and scuba diving in the Caribbean. I’m passionate about helping kids explore God’s creation with curiosity and wonder. Whether we’re doing a simple experiment or observing the natural world, I aim to spark a love of learning that reaches beyond the textbook.

Hi, I’m Levi, and I’m 16 years old. I’m excited to help out as a teaching assistant this year. I enjoy working with younger students and being part of the homeschool community. I’m especially interested in science and hands-on projects. I like woodworking and building things in my free time. I also enjoy playing soccer and softball, going hiking, and spending time with friends. I’m happy to help with anything from setting up activities to answering questions, and I’m looking forward to learning and having fun alongside everyone this year.
